Speaker 1 (00:04):
This is the latest from your news feed. It's Wednesday,
the twenty sixth of June. The widow of slain camper
Russell Hill, says she feared Greg Lynn would walk free,
saying an innocent person doesn't get rid of the bodies.
Robin Hill breathed a bittersweet sigh of relief on Tuesday
after the jury determined Lynn was guilty of the murder

(00:27):
of mister Hill's secret lover, Carol Clay, but missus Hill
told The Herald Son she was worried he would be
cleared over both the missing camper's deaths. After the jury's
shock verdict split ruling, the former Jetstar captain was not
guilty of her husband's murder. After seven days of deliberations,
the Supreme Court reconvened shortly after twelve forty pm yesterday

(00:51):
when the twelve members of the jury convicted Lynn of
the murder of miss Clay, who vanished during a camping
trip with mister Hill to the Wan and Garder Valley
in March twenty twenty. Vape legalization advocates say the coalition
could raise five hundred and ten million dollars a year
in tax revenue under its plan. To regulate the sale

(01:12):
of nicotine products through retailers like supermarkets or convenience stores.
Opposition health spokeswoman and Rustin on Tuesday announced a future
coalition government would legalize the sale of nicotine vapes through
licensed retailers to any Australian over eighteen, arguing Labour's plan
to limit sales to only pharmacies would not sufficiently stamp

(01:36):
out the black market. But health experts have warned the
approaches not resulted in a huge tax intake overseas and
Australia should not lie down and give up tackling the catastrophe.
We'll be back after this. A minibus carrying farm workers
is believed to have been trying to overtake another calm
when it crashed into a tree in Victoria's northwest, traveling

(02:00):
south along the Colder Highway at Carwarp near Mildura when
it rolled onto its side and crashed into a tree
on Tuesday morning. Two passengers died at the scene, while
nine other people on board were taken to hospital. And
former NRL star Jared Haynes will not face a fourth
trial after he successfully appealed his convictions over the alleged

(02:23):
rape of a woman in twenty eighteen. The thirty six
year old former Paramatta Eel was released from prison earlier
this month after a court overturned his rape convictions for
a second time. We'll have an update to your newsfeed
tomorrow
