Speaker 1 (00:10):
You're listening to a mother Mia podcast. Mumma Mea acknowledges
the traditional owners of land and waters that this podcast
is recorded on Hi. I'm Ailish Delaney from Mummamea's twice
daily news podcast, The Quickie with Your Headlines. For Friday,
October three, Psychiatrists working in Australia's largest public health system

(00:32):
will be given a temporary pay bump following mass resignations.
The New South Wales Industrial Relations Commission on Friday awarded
a special allowance to the state's public psychiatrists, providing a
twenty percent pay bump for twelve months. Commission Vice president
David Chinn says the special case justified a temporary allowance
to attract and retain staff specialists, but stresses it's not

(00:55):
a reward for the industrial strategy of threatening mass resignations.
The psychiatrists have previously fought for a one off twenty
five percent pay rise, arguing the comparatively lower pay against
other jurisdictions and in the private section has created staff shortages.
In New South Wales, more than two hundred of the
state's psychiatric cohort threatened to resign, with more than sixty

(01:18):
following through while another seventy shifted from staff jobs to
potentially more lucrative visiting roles. Three appeal judges have delivered
a split decision in Underworld figure Tony Mockbell's fight to
quash his drug convictions. He was seeking to overturn drug
trafficking and importation convictions on three separate cases known as Orbital,
Magnum and Quills. The court ruled the appeal on the

(01:41):
Quill's brief was allowed, with the charges set aside and
mock Bell acquitted, but he will face a retrial on
the orbital charges, while he lost his appeal on the
Magnum brief. Australians detained by Israel while attempting to deliver
aid to Gaza could soon receive help from the federal government.
The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade says Australia has

(02:01):
made a formal request to Israeli authorities for consular access
to its citizens and information about how they've been detained.
Five Australians who were taking part in the Global Samud
flatilla are believed to be in custody after Israeli forces
intercepted almost all forty two vessels in the fleet. Israel's
Foreign Ministry, which has branded the flotilla's mission of provocation,

(02:24):
says all are safe and in good health. The man
shot dead by British police has been identified after killing
two people at a synagogue in an attack that has
been declared a terror incident. British police say the man
drove a car into pedestrians and stabbed a security guard
in an attack at a Manchester synagogue where worshippers were
marking Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar.

(02:47):
The suspected attacker has been named as Jahad al Shami,
a thirty five year old British citizen of Syrian descent.
Al Shami was wearing what appeared to be a vest
with an explosive device, which police later confirmed was not viable.
Two men in their thirties and a woman in her
sixties have been arrested on suspicion of preparing acts of terrorism.

(03:07):
Police say, though working to understand and the motivation behind
the attack. Kim Kardashian and her mother, Chris Jenna, are
suing her ex boyfriend Ray j For saying they are
under federal investigation and on the verge of being indicted.
The defamation lawsuit filed in Los Angeles Superior Court on Wednesday,
is a fast and aggressive pushback against allegations they say

(03:29):
are entirely baseless. They say ray j falsely claimed he
was working with federal investigators on a racketeering case against
them that will soon lead to their indictment. The lawsuit
says ray Ja's comments are part of a sustained campaign
of harassment and defamation that has gone on for years.
That's your evening news headlines. On Monday's episode of The Quikie,
