Speaker 1 (01:39):
More than three thousand cars will take part, along with
performances from Killing Heidi, the Screaming Jets and Peaking Duck.
An engineering company has been fined seven hundred and fifty
thousand dollars over the collapse of a shoring wall at
a work site in twenty twenty two. The collapse at
the side of the Wover Precinct in Woden saw debris
travel around fifty meters from the wall. It's the first
(02:02):
time an engineering company has been prosecuted for unsafe design
in the act. Meanwhile, a bench top installation company and
its director were also fined yesterday for cutting stone bench
tops in a way that exposed workers to respirable crystalline silica.
Japan has been rocked by an earthquake overnight, triggering a
tsunami alert. The seven point six magnitude quake struck off
