The Empower Hour Episode 17 12th November 24

Redress payments for victims of child sexual abuse will not be counted as assets in aged care assessments starting from January 1st. Embattled airline Rex has received an $80 million lifeline from the government. The federal government is providing $28 million in funding to help save the Morgian Skate from extinction. New laws in Victoria will impose jail time and massive fines for trading in black market tobacco and vapes. An elephant named Burma is being escorted to her new home in Monarto Safari Park in South Australia. In sports, Alexander Zverev and Kasper Rood both won their matches in the ATP finals. Good morning, I'm Laura Devoy. Redress payments provided to victims of institutional child sexual abuse will not be considered in financial assessments for aged care. From the 1st of January next year, redress payments won't be considered an asset for the residential aged care subsidy, meaning survivors will be able to keep lower aged care fees. More than 17,000 payments have been made to survivors through the National Redress Scheme. Social Services Minister Amanda Wishworth told the ABC survivors won't have to disclose their abuse again. They won't have to explain it again when they go into aged care. It might be 5, 10, 15 years since their redress payment. If they've given permission, then there will be an automatic matching of data and that asset will be automatically minused from their means testing. Embattled airline Rex has been thrown an $80 million lifeline. The Commonwealth funding will go towards keeping Rex's regional routes during an extension of the voluntary administration process. Interstatement Transport Minister Catherine King and Workplace Relations Minister Murray Watt say the government has also agreed to grant former Rex employees early access to the share entitlements guarantee. Rex's administrators plan to apply to the Federal Court to extend the voluntary administration to the end of next June. The Federal Government has announced $28 million in funding to help save the Morgian Skate from extinction. The skate's only known habitat, Macquarie Harbour on Tasmania's west coast, is under threat by salmon farming. The Federal Environment Minister is currently considering a request to expand salmon farming in the harbour, but scientists say it's contributing to the skate's decline. Speaking in Devonport, Agriculture Minister Julie Collins says the funding will help offset the effects of human activities and improve breeding and monitoring. Over $20 million is for oxygenation and improvement in Macquarie Harbour in terms of the water quality. There's also, of course, the funding for the Morgian Skate Breeding Program which happens at the facility at IMAS in Taroona. This will allow this program's certainty to be able to continue and we've seen great success with the Morgian Skate Breeding Program today. Victorians who trade in black market tobacco and vapes will face jail time and massive fines under planned new laws. The State Government will introduce long-awaited legislation to Parliament to establish a tobacco licensing scheme. It will also set up a new tobacco regulator in a bid to crack down on illegal sales. Under the proposed laws, individuals face up to 15 years in prison or fines of more than $355,000, while businesses could face fines of more than $1.7 million. South Australian police will today escort an elephant from the airport to her new home in Monarto, east of Adelaide. Burma, the Asian elephant, will leave the airport in a heavy vehicle at about 5pm and will travel through the metropolitan area and along the south-eastern freeway. The 42-year-old has flown in from New Zealand and is one of five elephants expected to move to the Monarto Safari Park by the end of next year. Turning to sports, Alexander Zverev and Kasper Ruud have both recorded wins in the ATP finals this morning. World number six Ruud defeated the world number three Carlos Alcaraz 6-1-7-5. Zverev, ranked second, defeated the eighth-ranked Otto Riblett 6-4-6-4. In the doubles, Australian Matt Ebden and his partner Rowan Bopana went down to the fourth seeds in straight sets.

Thank you. And welcome back, everybody, to Episode 17. I'm really clutching at straws with the intros nowadays, aren't I? Anyway. Well, what a week. What a week for the whole Western world. I know many out there are expecting it all to have come crashing down, but here we are. It's a beautiful day outside here in sunny Cairns. The sun is shining. I've got a wonderful DJ Jesse here relaxing with me, about to spin some tunes. It's getting hot out there. It's getting hot in here. They've not really fixed the air con, have they, dude? It's still a little bit sticky in here. Yeah. Yeah, that's right. Let's kick off the show with some music. What have we got coming up first, dude? Starting us off with a heartfelt tune. Here's Better Days by Pete Moe, released in 2005 on his album, See the Sun. This song captures Moe's singsong acoustic style and uplifting notes. And I saw it coming. I saw emptiness and tragedy. And I felt like running so far away. I knew I had to stay and I knew when I made it. I looked back and I still feel the pain. I know I'll be stronger and I know I'll be blind to the rest of my days. I think that I've changed from my place to my end. I'm down on my knees and I pray to God for this season through to the end. I know there's nothing that I didn't know to change. I try to remember my name and it turns so cold towards the end of every day. There was no conversation. I just felt like I was insane. I needed my friends where I just turned around. They were gone without a trace. I think that I've changed from my place to my end. I'm down on my knees and I pray to God for this season through to the end. I have just started and I want to know the end. There's nothing I have lost. There was one thing upon my mind. And all of these thoughts are fading around the bend. Now that I'm white, I cannot wait till I can have my friends. I think that I've changed from my place to my end. I'm down on my knees and I pray to God for this season through to the end. I think that I've changed from my place to my end. I'm down on my knees and I pray to God for this season through to the end. I think that I've changed from my place to my end. I'm down on my knees and I pray to God for this season through to the end. I'm down on my knees and I pray to God for this season through to the end. I'm down on my knees and I pray to God for this season through to the end. I'm down on my knees and I pray to God for this season through to the end.

I always like to think of the way I should have been making up my mind. I never opened up to get a little now I'm running out of time. Sometimes I dream about going back, keeping all the things I left behind. But now I know you can't change the past, we dance and nobody knows why. I'm rushing back, rushing back. I'm rushing back, rushing back. I'm rushing back, rushing back. I feel the gravity pulling me closer than I've ever before. When I was 16, I could see the bottom of the ocean on the floor. I tried to hold it back, but I can't, I don't fit just on the floor. But I have to face the truth, I have to find a way to go. I'm rushing back, rushing back. I'm rushing back, rushing back. I'm rushing back, rushing back. I blame all the issues, all the eyes I have looked into. The stages and the level of I always like to think of the way I should have been making up my mind. I never opened up to get a little now I'm running out of time. Sometimes I dream about going back, keeping all the things I left behind. But now I know you can't change the past, we dance and nobody knows why. I'm rushing back, rushing back. I'm rushing back, rushing back. I'm rushing back, rushing back. I'm rushing back, rushing back. I'm rushing back, rushing back. I'm rushing back, rushing back. And it all comes rushing back. And it all comes rushing back, rushing back. And it all comes rushing back, rushing back. And it all comes rushing back, rushing back. And it all comes rushing back, rushing back. Empower your day. Join us on the Empower Hour. Cairns FM 89.1.
