Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello from the Amplifying newsroom. I'm Tomara Cartwright. The NRL
says it's very pleased with how the season has unfolded.
After an epic Grand Final, that's all the Broncos come
out on top. The season has been the highest attended
and viewed season on record. NRL CEO Andrew Abdo has
told Nine last night's final was an epic way to

(00:21):
cap it off.

Speaker 2 (00:21):
We've had such a great season and that was a
Grand Final befitting that season. It was so exciting, it
was so tense, it had everything, some game breaking moments
and it kind of felt like it was a game
of sand Court Stadium. It felt like a home game
for the Broncos.

Speaker 1 (00:35):
Australia now has an alliance with the P ANDNG, Anthony
Albanezi saying it takes our relationship to a new level.
It's a historic moment, the first new.

Speaker 2 (00:46):
Alliance from Australia in seventy years.

Speaker 1 (00:51):
Meantime, the PM will offer the US and the UK
priority access to Ozzie minerals, which are crucial to the
US defense industry. He's also raised the possibility of the
sector being brought under the Orchest Umbrella Court Today for
a twenty three year old Chishlm Man after allegedly threatening
a mother and son with a taser during an aggravated
burglary in Duffy on Saturday, allegedly demanding prescription drugs and cash.

(01:16):
Police later located a vehicle that the men had fled
the scene in at a different Duffy residence. The twenty
three year old chishl Man was arrested and now faces
multiple charges. Police in Sydney say a man who went
on a rampage with a rifle fired up to one
hundred shots from a rooftop position before being arrested. One

(01:36):
man is in hospital with a gunshot wound, while sixteen
others have been treated for shrapnel wounds after shots began
raining down on buildings, cars and a police vehicle. The
suspect is also in hospital. Under Police Guard legislation paving
the way for a new triple zero custodian to keep
an eye on the increasingly unreliable service is likely to

(01:57):
be introduced into Parliament this week. Follows a series of outages,
the most recent resulting in a number of deaths. The
heads of Optis, Telstra and TPG have been summoned to
Canberra tomorrow for a please explain. About three hundred and
fifty hikers have been rescued after heavy snow trapped them
on the slopes of Mount Everest. Another two hundred remain

(02:19):
trapped as work continues to reach them. Over eighteen thousand
people attended Nightfest at Floriad over the past four ninths.
Ross Triffitt from Events Act says they're already looking into
next year's event.

Speaker 3 (02:32):
We're certainly very happy with how Nightfest turned out and
I think that will be reflected as we look at
the experience that people had. We're anticipating them will have
a really strong response to the advocacy and the attendee satisfaction.

Speaker 1 (02:46):
And as mentioned earlier, the NRL Grand Final was a
ratings blockbuster, the clash between the Broncos and the Storm,
pulling in four point four to six million viewers for
Channel nine. It grabbed almost three hundred thousand more viewers
than the AFL Grand Final a week earlier. And that's
the latest from the Camber news room this Monday. Check
back again tomorrow morning for our next updates.
