Speaker 1 (00:01):
Hi there from the Amplify newsroom. I'm Rene Bigaco. A
busy day for police who've been investigating that serious head
on crash between a car and truck Thesavo that caused
big delays. It happened at about twelve fifteen on the
exit ramp from gongal And Drive to the Button Highway.
We suspect the AUDI was driving on the wrong side
of the plane as it came up the hill and
(00:22):
it collided with the truck that was struggling within the
normal robles Detective Acting Superintendent Anthony Brown there. Police believe
the AUDI was involved in several incidents earlier today, including
an armed robbery in Dixon. The driver died in hospital
while the truck drivers in a stable condition. If you
know anything about a house fight in Waniassa in October,
(00:45):
police want to hear from you. They've posted photos of
two males believed to be involved in the fight where
one person was allegedly pushed to the ground and hit
on the head twice with a glass bottle. Called crime
stoppers if you can identify them. If we route changes
and less bus runs from feb two next year, as
work gets underway on the Commonwealth Avenue Bridge renewal. Transport
(01:08):
Canberra's Jeremy Smith says while every effort is being made
to maintain bus frequency, some services will be impacted. A
number of the local neighborhood loop services. They will reduce
from a twenty minute frequency to a thirty minute frequency.
Less than a week out from the start of the
social media band for kids and Aussie teens continue to
(01:29):
find ways to bypass the new rules. The facial scan
technology failed to notice two thirteen year olds were underage
when they told Meta they were born in nineteen fifty six,
Health Minister Mark Butler telling seven these platforms have five
days to sort it out.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Because the platforms face some very hefty finds, up to
fifty million dollars if they breached these new world leading laws.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Police have pivoted to a search for remains as they
continue their search for alleged cop killer Freeman. The operation
now focusing on finding the fifty six year old's body.
Specialized teams with Cadiver dogs sent in to search an
area less than one square kilometer. Five alumni have been
inducted into the University of Canberra's Sport Walk of Fame
(02:17):
in recognition of their contributions to sport, among them former
Brumby and Wallaby Ben Alexander.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Big surprise because I certainly wasn't the most shining lot
academically while I was at UNI, but I really really
loved my time at UC and it's definitely helped set
me up for everything that I'm doing today.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
And the Kids in Care Act charity is preparing to
hand over thousands of toys to ensure the most vulnerable
kids across our region don't miss out this Christmas. It's
the biggest drive yet, with volunteer gift wrapping at all
five Big w stores as well as seventeen giving trees.
It started off in twenty thirteen with just a single
(02:56):
police officer wanting to help a single family and now
we're helping out over its kids.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Not just at Christmas time, but throughout the year.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
