Speaker 1 (00:01):
Hello from the Amplifying newsroom. I'm Hayden Visarah. It's back
to work for our pollies today for the forty eighth
sitting of Parliament. It's the first time back since the
federal election. And whilst there wasn't a change to leadership
in Canberra, Independent Senator David Pocock says Labor should take
notes on the type result in Bean.

Speaker 2 (00:21):
Here in the Act Jesse Price in Bean as she
was watched three hundred and fifty odd votes away from
making history. And I think that the election result, whilst
it was a big win for Labor, wasn't a vote
for the status quo. And I'm really hoping that Labor
is going to listen to that.

Speaker 1 (00:36):
Legislation to cut Hex's debt will be high on the agenda,
as well as childcare reform. The Canberra Business Chamber will
bring to light the issues facing local businesses at an
economic reform roundtable next month. ACT federal Labor representatives will
host the events to hear from businesses, industry groups and
GOOSN unions ahead of the national Roundtable. Executive Greg Harford

(01:01):
says business in the Act is looking gloomy.

Speaker 3 (01:04):
The message I overwhelmingly get from business is that they
are hamstrung by red tape compliance at high texes here locally,
so we really need to look at how we can
streamline things and get us into line with the risk
of the country.

Speaker 1 (01:17):
More than three thousand infringements have been handed out in
school zones so far this year, with camber drivers being
urged to slow down as local students head back to
class from today. Emily spring It from Access Canberra says
they'll be installing RAIDAR smiley faced signage at ten locations
for the start of term three.

Speaker 4 (01:37):
This is a way to remind drivers to be mindful
of their speed in the school zones, and these schools
were chosen as they had some of the highest levels
of speeding during term one and term two.

Speaker 1 (01:48):
More than six hundred Palestinian protesters have gathered in the
nation's capital over the past two days, calling for the
federal government to place sanctions over Israel, with rallies taking
over Canberra's in Israel Embassy and Parliament House. Today marks
the final day of protesting, with Parliament beginning to its
new term. Meanwhile, Australia has signed a joint statement from

(02:11):
twenty four countries condemning the Israeli killing of Palestinian seeking aid.
There are reports that more than eight hundred have been
killed while trying to get help, but Israel has rejected
the criticism. UK Foreign Minister David Lammy says the Israeli
aid system is dangerous and goes against humanitarian principles.

Speaker 3 (02:31):
The Israeli government must answer what possible military justification can
there be for strikes that have killed desperate, starving children.

Speaker 1 (02:41):
Ozzies are giving less to charity compared to the rest
of the worlds. A new report by the charity's Aid
Foundation has found Australians donate zero point seventy three percent
of their income to good cases, compared to the global
average of one point zero four percent. Nigeria is the
most generous country, eating two point eighty three percent of

(03:01):
their income to people in need. And that's the latest
in the Camberin newsroom so far. We'll have another update
for you right here later on today
