0:00:04.960 --> 0:00:07.040
<v Speaker 1>From The Daily Os. I'm Emma Gillespie.

0:00:07.200 --> 0:00:08.160
<v Speaker 2>I'm belief at Simon.

0:00:08.320 --> 0:00:11.879
<v Speaker 1>It's Wednesday, the nineteenth of November. Here's what's making headlines

0:00:11.920 --> 0:00:12.480
<v Speaker 1>this evening.

0:00:14.320 --> 0:00:17.079
<v Speaker 2>Wages increased by three point four percent in the year

0:00:17.079 --> 0:00:20.239
<v Speaker 2>to September, according to new data from the Australian Bureau

0:00:20.280 --> 0:00:23.599
<v Speaker 2>of Statistics, with inflation for the same period at three

0:00:23.640 --> 0:00:27.200
<v Speaker 2>point two percent. This means wages have been increasing at

0:00:27.280 --> 0:00:31.200
<v Speaker 2>a slightly faster rate than prices. Annual wage growth remained

0:00:31.240 --> 0:00:34.159
<v Speaker 2>steady compared to the June quarter twenty twenty five, but

0:00:34.280 --> 0:00:37.320
<v Speaker 2>was slightly lower than this time last year. The ABS

0:00:37.360 --> 0:00:40.720
<v Speaker 2>said wage growth data will in part inform the Reserve

0:00:40.760 --> 0:00:43.600
<v Speaker 2>Bank of Australia when it meets for next month's cash

0:00:43.680 --> 0:00:44.320
<v Speaker 2>rate decision.

0:00:47.000 --> 0:00:50.360
<v Speaker 1>The Australian Federal Police has told a Senate inquiry that

0:00:50.479 --> 0:00:54.160
<v Speaker 1>rates of child abuse are worsening online across the country.

0:00:54.280 --> 0:00:58.560
<v Speaker 1>Speaking in Federal Parliament today, Deputy Commissioner Ian McCartney explained

0:00:58.600 --> 0:01:01.680
<v Speaker 1>that he didn't want to quote scare the public, but

0:01:01.720 --> 0:01:05.280
<v Speaker 1>that the crime of online child sexual exploitation is not

0:01:05.360 --> 0:01:09.280
<v Speaker 1>getting better. The inquiry into Early Childhood Safety was launched

0:01:09.319 --> 0:01:13.200
<v Speaker 1>after a spate of alleged abuse in childcare centers. McCartney

0:01:13.240 --> 0:01:17.400
<v Speaker 1>said the AFP will embrace technology as it continues cracking

0:01:17.440 --> 0:01:21.679
<v Speaker 1>down on online child sex offenders. However, he conceded quote,

0:01:21.760 --> 0:01:25.880
<v Speaker 1>we're always going to be unfortunately one step behind, with

0:01:26.000 --> 0:01:28.080
<v Speaker 1>more work needed to close that gap.

0:01:30.959 --> 0:01:33.839
<v Speaker 2>Both houses of the US Congress have voted to force

0:01:33.880 --> 0:01:36.440
<v Speaker 2>the release of all the files from the Department of

0:01:36.560 --> 0:01:40.800
<v Speaker 2>Justice's investigation into the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

0:01:41.160 --> 0:01:46.160
<v Speaker 2>In July, Republican Representative Thomas Massey created a discharge petition

0:01:46.520 --> 0:01:48.640
<v Speaker 2>that would see the introduction of a bill to the

0:01:48.720 --> 0:01:53.000
<v Speaker 2>lower House to release the files. Massey secured enough signatures

0:01:53.000 --> 0:01:56.480
<v Speaker 2>on the petition last week, despite pressure from US President

0:01:56.520 --> 0:02:00.600
<v Speaker 2>Donald Trump's staff on Republicans who signed it, showing days

0:02:00.680 --> 0:02:04.520
<v Speaker 2>Republican members of the upper House the Senate suggested they

0:02:04.600 --> 0:02:08.640
<v Speaker 2>would also support the bill despite his previous objections. Trump,

0:02:08.720 --> 0:02:11.840
<v Speaker 2>who is rumored to be mentioned in the files, told

0:02:11.919 --> 0:02:14.840
<v Speaker 2>reporters on Monday Local time that he would sign the

0:02:14.840 --> 0:02:18.200
<v Speaker 2>bill into law if it passed Congress. It passed the

0:02:18.240 --> 0:02:21.000
<v Speaker 2>Lower House four hundred and twenty seven votes to one

0:02:21.040 --> 0:02:24.720
<v Speaker 2>on Tuesday local time, with a Senate voting unanimously to

0:02:24.760 --> 0:02:27.119
<v Speaker 2>send it to the President's desk hours later.

0:02:29.720 --> 0:02:34.120
<v Speaker 1>And today's good news. Hundreds of dashounds have taken part

0:02:34.200 --> 0:02:37.680
<v Speaker 1>in the annual Paris Sausage Walk to help support a

0:02:37.720 --> 0:02:41.679
<v Speaker 1>local rescue organization. The volunteer run event, now in its

0:02:41.760 --> 0:02:45.280
<v Speaker 1>sixth year, is also known as the March of the Dacksons.

0:02:45.760 --> 0:02:49.080
<v Speaker 1>Participants with two legs and four united for a march

0:02:49.120 --> 0:02:51.560
<v Speaker 1>down the River sen to raise money for a charity

0:02:51.560 --> 0:02:55.640
<v Speaker 1>that rescues foster's and rehomes sausage dogs. This year's walk

0:02:55.720 --> 0:03:00.160
<v Speaker 1>included dogs dressed in bearrats, jumpers, tutus, cowboy hats, and

0:03:00.320 --> 0:03:03.399
<v Speaker 1>of course plenty of hot dog costumes.
