Speaker 1 (00:01):
Hello from the Amplifying news room. I'm Kate Rice from
Fashions on the Field to our very own local racing.
Thoroughbred Park is playing host to local Melbourne Cup Day
festivities today. Robbie Ringland from the canber Racing Club says
they're expecting a good turnout.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Well hopeful of about three thousand. We're about ten percent
up on our pre bookings compared to last year, which
is really positive and the sun's going to be shining brightly.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
Act Police saying they'll be out and about targeting anti
social behavior and drink driving this Melbourne Cup Day. Locally,
racegoers heading out to the festivities are being encouraged to
know their limits when drinking alcohol, don't drive if you're drinking,
and look after your mates. Meanwhile, in Victoria, Today's Melbourne
Cup is officially sold out, with ninety thousand fans to
(00:48):
pour into Flemington for the one hundred and sixty fourth
running of the race that stops the nation. The race
is down to twenty three runners, with Athabascan scratched on
bets advice last night. The Deputy PM insists Anthony Albanesi
could work constructively with Donald Trump should he win tomorrow's
US election, despite twenty seventeen audio resurfacing of the Prime
(01:11):
Minister saying he was scared of him. The Opposition says
the remark was highly irresponsible, but Richard Miles has told
Channel seven it shouldn't be a problem.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Well, I think when you look at what Anthony's done
as the Prime Minister of Australia in terms of repairing
our standing in the world, working with leaders right around
the world, he's demonstrated a capability to work with anyone.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Meanwhile, in the US, two different styles but one common
message from Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, who are urging
their supporters to cast their ballots intomorrow's US election.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
Get out and vote.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
Your vote is your voice, and your voice is your power.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
The local AMA isn't shocked about the latest bulk billing
figures showing fifty two and a half percent of GP
visits in the ACT or fully covered by medicare in
the past twelve months. That's lagging behind the national average
of more than seventy seven percent. AMAACT President doctor Kerry
Ost says action locally is essential.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
I believe we also have quite a low number of
GP registrars coming in for the next cohort, which is
a little bit different to the rest of Australia, so
we're really looking for that response from all levels of government.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Don't expect the Reserve Bank to do mortgage holders any
favors when it meets today. AMP economist Shane Oliver expects
they'll be talk but no action.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
That might give the impression they're getting closer to the
cutting interest rates, but I certainly don't think they're going
to do it today.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
A growing list of federal MPs are now dumping their
quantus chairman's lounge access. Three Independents are the latest to
hand it back, insisting it's needed to restore public trust.
And Quincy Jones has passed away surrounded by family at
the age of ninety one. He worked with Michael Jackson
on the album Thriller, as well as music legends like
(02:58):
Aretha Franklin and Frank Sinatra. And that's the latest in news.
We'll have another update for you right here later this morning.
