Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello from the Amplifying news Room. I'm Ashley Nolan. Around
one thousand protesters have gathered in Canberra as part of
anti immigration rallies held around the country. Yesterday. One Nation
leader Pauline Hanson addressed the March for Australia group locally,
with protesters heading across Commonwealth Avenue Bridge and up to
the lawns of Parliament House, while a counter rally also

(00:23):
gathered near Regatta Point. Three people have been charged with
a total of seventy nine offenses after a police cracked
down on retail theft in Canbra's North. Two women were
arrested on Friday and a forty eight year old man
earlier in the week. Police will allege the goods and
alcohol stolen was worth more than twelve thousand dollars. The

(00:45):
Australian Sports Commission and the NBL will investigate how a
backboard collapsed on a player at the AIS on Saturday.
A player from the Otel eight thirty six's was taken
to hospital after a teammate's dunk caused the backboard to
collapse on Toto the back of his head. The incident
happened during a training session ahead of an NBL Blitz game.

(01:06):
The Blitz has now wrapped up at the AIS, with
the New Zealand Breakers taking out the tournament. New rules
aimed at improving safety and childcare centers have come into
effect overnight. They include a requirement to report incidents within
twenty four hours, a ban on vapes, and tough new
rules around the use of technology. The changes affect every

(01:28):
state and territory. Trials of more than sixty social media
tools designed to keep kids safe online have shown it
can be done. A report being released today says the
technology is available to ensure it can be done privately
and effectively within appropriate limits. Australia is said to become
the first country in the world to ban social media

(01:50):
for under sixteens. Good news for locals planning trips away
now the weather should start to warm up for spring.
Registration fees for light trailers and caravans will be reduced
by up to one hundred and fifty dollars from today.
It's only for a limited time though, with the reductions
in place for twelve months. While many of us welcome

(02:13):
the arrival of spring in the warmer weather, some of
us dread it because of hay fever. Professor Simon Haberly
from the A and US Pollen Monitoring Program says pollen
will be full on this season.

Speaker 2 (02:26):
We anticipate that this will be an average or above
average season. We're going to expect fairly high and intense
hay fever season. This really beginning in October, November and
through December.

Speaker 1 (02:38):
Russia and Ukraine have stepped up air strikes, with Moscow
again targeting Ukraine's energy and transport systems. Sixty thousand people
have been left without power and Ukrainian President Voladimir Zelenski
is vowing to hit back, and the canber Raiders are
keeping their focus after securing their first minor premiership in

(02:59):
thirty five five years with that twenty four to ten
win over West Tigers in front of US sold out
crowd at GIO on Saturday. Coach Ricky Stewart proud of
the team and says it was excellent to get the
shield in front of the home crowd.

Speaker 3 (03:14):
That's what made me proud, just for every one of
those people who've been there, most of them all year.
You know, we've had some wonderful crowds and in some
terrible weather and they're the people that's who the shield's for.

Speaker 1 (03:26):
And that's the latest and news. We'll have another update
for you right here later today.
