Speaker 1 (00:02):
Hello from the Amplifying newsroom. I'm Hayden Visserah frustration for
bus users across the territory with route changes and less
bus runs from February second next year. It's as a
major construction gets underway on the Commonwealth Avenue Bridge Renewal project.
Transport cameras Jeremy Smith says, while every effort is being
made to maintain bus frequency, services have had to be
(00:24):
reduced in some cases.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
So the reduction in frequency across the network is bearable.
So a number of the local and neighborhood loop services
they will reduce from a twenty minute frequency to a
thirty minute frequency.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Meanwhile, the Local Public Transport Association says the new temporary
bus network announced by the act Government is painful but necessary.
The association says it's positive to see the government deliver
a realistic new network that retains as much service and
coverage as possible. There's less than a week out from
the start of the social media band for kids and
(00:59):
Ozzie teens continue to 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, while snapchats Filter believed a fourteen
year old boy from Adelaide was twenty five. Health Minister
Mark Butler telling seven these platforms have five days to
(01:19):
sort this.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Out because the platforms face some very hefty finds of
up to fifty million dollars if they breached these new
world leading laws.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Meanwhile, new online safety codes will come into effect from
December twenty seven. More job cards potentially on the way
for the research community in Canberra. David Pocock says he's
been contacted by multiple staff at the Australian Research Council
over a proposed organizational restructure. The act Independent Senator has
seen emails that confirm consultation is underway on the proposal,
(01:51):
which would see a number of roles at the ARC
reduced if it goes ahead. Senator Pocock says it appears
to be happening without adequate consultation with impacted staff or
public oversights. The New South Wales government is expanding its
Hospital in the Home program to Quembian. The program aims
to ease pressure on emergency departments and reduce a patient's
(02:13):
length of stay in hospital by managing certain conditions from
the patient's home. The program is also being further strengthened
by the use of wearable monitoring tech so the vital
signs can be monitored remotely and in real time. The
Reserve Bank is widely expected to play the grinch this Christmas.
Thirty three financial experts telling Finder they believe the cash
(02:34):
rate will be kept on hold at three point six
percent following the RBA's final meeting of the year, two
believe it should be lifted. It follows annual inflation rising
to three point eight percent and the twelve months to
October underlying inflation also up to three point three percent.
A former Brumby and Wallaby is among five alumni who've
(02:55):
been inducted into the University of Canberra's Sport Walk of Fame.
Ben Alexander says he continues to collaborate with the UNI
as the co founder of mental health initiative Running for Resilience.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Just also really grateful to the UNI to support the
UNI is showing with Running for Resilience and how we're
collaborating with some of the research team there.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
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 is
the biggest drive yet, with volunteer gift wrapping at all
five Big w stores as well as seventeen giving trees.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
It started off in twenty thirteen with just a single
police officer wanting to help a single family, and now
we're helping out over a thousand kids, not just at
Christmas time, but throughout the year.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Detective Sergeant Shannon Pugsley there and it's International Volunteer Day,
a chance to recognize and celebrate volunteers right across the territory.
CEO of Volunteering Act, Jing Giezer says, Without our volunteers,
so many parts of the community wouldn't be what they
are today.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Our schools wouldn't all fiddles wouldn't be our social services
wouldn't be our beautiful landscape wouldn't be what it is.
So an important time to reflect and recognize how important
its volunteering is to camera.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
And that's the latest in the Camber newsrooms so far.
We'll have another update for you right here later on
this afternoon.
