Hello from the Amplify newsroom. I'm Hayden Visserah the Acity
Independent Senator's calling for more ambitious reform when it comes
to governance at our universities, particularly the A and U.
It's as a major inquiry into the quality of unique
governance has tabled its reports with eight recommendations, David Pocock
saying we now have to wait for the government to respond.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
But I'll certainly be taking this up with the government.
I think reform of governance at the A and U
is urgent. We've seen the damage that poor governance has done.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
The opposition is accusing the PM of hiding behind the
rules as the latest federal expense scandal continues. There's a
push to put a cap on how much our politicians

bill of hundreds of thousands of dollars for family trips.
Liberal Senator Jane Hume telling seven changes need to be made.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
The Prime Minister is hiding from responsibility. He's running protection
racket for some of his ministers that have been behaving
pretty badly, and there should be some responsibility taken by
the biggest little maker in the Land.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Now that the social media band for under sixteens is
in place, politicians want the government to fix the algorithm
for adults. Went Worth MP algera spender has told nine
there is a lot of harmful content online and none
of us should be seeing it.
Speaker 4 (01:16):
It's not just kids who are struggling with social media content,
it's also adults really being served a whole bunch of
content that they really don't wand and is really putting
a problem. So I think we need to look at
other areas like fixing the algorithms or a duty of
care from social media because this band won't be perfect.
I think we know that.
Speaker 1 (01:32):

from the events and increased light rail frequency, while some
light rail and bus stops won't be operational to help
with traffic flow after the events. A chance for locals
(01:55):
to share their concerns and ideas about what should happen
at the Big Splash site. There's a community event at
the Canberra High Oval this afternoon with locals encouraged to
add their two cents.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
We want to find out what the community wants from
that to make sure that government does what it can
to deliver on that vision. And it's going to be
a lot of fun. We've got lawn games, we've got
drinks and snack. We're hoping to have a really good
vibe and a bit of a mixture as well.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Act Green's Deputy leader Joe Clay there locals are encouraged
to take extra care over summer as our emergency departments

you right here at around lunch time.
