Good morning, I'm Alyssa Delph. Australian households will get a better sense of what the budget will mean to them in a speech from the Treasurer today. The Community Radio Network's political reporter, Noel Beckham, has more. Treasurer Jim Chalmers is hoping to soften the blow of years of forecast deficits in a speech to the Queensland Media Club ahead of next week's federal budget. Dr Chalmers will use the speech to outline the pressures on the budget from changes in global trade relations and recent natural disasters. The Treasurer has already outlined a $1.2 billion cost from Tropical Cyclone Alfred on top of the $11.6 billion allocated for disaster recovery in the last budget. Many flagship announcements have also already been made public, including the multi-billion dollar Medicare funding, saving the Wyala Steelworks and cutting student debts. The 2025 budget will be handed down in Canberra next Tuesday, with the election to follow in May. More than 30,000 children and young adults in Australia are living with juvenile arthritis. Juvenile Arthritis Foundation Australia says health care professionals and the wider community are unaware of the prevalence of the chronic autoimmune disease. Founder and Director of the foundation, Professor Ruth Coladuri, says for those sufferers it has a big impact on quality of life. 85% of children have family pain. It's intrusive in terms that it limits children's capacity to participate in school and sport and play and life in general. Youth school and being left behind or left out at school can cause a lot of anxiety and a lot of depression and other mental health problems over time for many children. Journalists are concerned about the closure of newsrooms across the country. A new report on the 2025 Australian media landscape has taken a closer look at the fears and concerns of staff in the industry. The survey of 5,000 journalists revealed disinformation was the top threat to public interest journalism. About 88% of respondents were also worried about the impact of generative AI on the overall quality of journalism. New South Wales has recorded its highest number of murders in a decade. Jackie Fitzgerald from the Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research who released the data told Hope News the murder statistics are concerning. So we recorded 85 murders in that year and we haven't had a number as high as that in at least 10 years actually since 2014. So really concerning spike in murders just in that most recent calendar period. And a wildlife ranger has stepped into the role of mum for a orphaned Rufus Betong joey. Of the Ark's Riley Tideman has been looking after Buttercup who was thrown from her mother's pouch in the Barrington Wildlife Sanctuary six months ago. Buttercup the rat kangaroo lives on a nutrient rich milk replacement specifically for macropods. Riley has taken on the responsibility of hand rearing her, feeding her every four hours even at 2 a.m. Buttercup is a notoriously difficult feeder when it's feeding time as she likes to hold the bottle instead of my hands like some of my past hand raisers. It's quite entertaining to watch. Normally when I'm feeding my hand raisers I use one of my hands to just keep their mouth shut and create a little bit of extra suction in the bottle that allows them to drink a bit faster. And in sport Western Australia or New South Wales will have to complete big run chases today on the final day of the regular season in order to stop Queensland from securing a spot in the Sheffield Shield final. The Bulls are in a strong position in their match against South Australia to set up a rematch with SA in next week's decider.

Maybe he's right, maybe there is something the matter with me, maybe he's right, maybe there is something the matter with me, I just don't see how a world that makes its own things could be bad.

Look at this pool, treasures unfold, how many wonders can one tavern hold, looking around here you see, she's got everything, I've got gadgets and gizmos aplenty, I've got boozes and what's-its galore, see one thing on the box, I've got plenty, but who cares, don't care, I want more, I want to see where the people are, I want to see, want to see them dancing, walking around on those, what do you call them, oh, feet, flipping your fins you don't get too far, legs are required for jumping, dancing, strolling along down a, what's that word again, street, up where they walk, up where they run, up where they stay all day in the sun, wandering free, wish I could be part of that world, what would I see, if I could live out of these waters, what would I say, it's time to stay warm on the sand, oh, come on now, they understand, that they don't reprimand their daughters, present women, sick of swimming, ready to stand, ready to know what the people know, ask them my questions and get some answers, what's the fire, what's vitamin, what's the dirt, when did my dirt, what's my love, love to explore that door up above, out of the sea, wish I could be part of that world. Well, well, well, what a way to start the show, hey Jesse, typical Jesse Hanley fashion there to start the show, something a little bit different, we're going to blame it on the traffic because we were late in today so there were some technical difficulties and we were saved by engineer Tom Waters, thank you so much Tom for coming in and saving the day, we were stressing out a little bit there weren't we.

Cannes FM 89.1. That was I Love It by Hilltop Hoods featuring Sia. Two Aussie icons coming together for a banger. Banger. Do you know that... Who was the singer called again? From Hilltop Hoods? From where? Which singer? S-I-A. Sia, yeah. Do you know that Sia recorded this track in just one take? What about that? Wow, one take. That's your nickname as well, isn't it? One take. Yeah. Done. One and done. Anyway, let's get on with our disability news from around the world segment. We're back. Some disability news from around the world. Story number one coming from Indonesia. In Jakarta, the theatre troupe Fantasy Tully, their fantasy, stage Indonesia's first deaf musical, Senandung Senyap, which means The Songs of Silence. The production featured over 60 deaf actors and crew members portraying the lives of students at a school for children with disabilities. The performance utilized screens to display dialogue and lyrics while actors conveyed the narrative through facial expressions and sign language. This groundbreaking musical aims to raise awareness about the deaf community and promote the use of sign language in Indonesia where over 2 million people have hearing disabilities. Now over to Sierra Leone. Amputees turn to farming to combat discrimination. In Sierra Leone, many amputees, often victims of the civil war or medical conditions, face significant discrimination and challenging living conditions. The Farming on Crutches program aims to improve their lives by providing skills necessary to start farm businesses, thereby restoring confidence and independence. This initiative not only offers practical farming training but also fosters social integration by building a supportive community among participants. Despite limited resources and support, such programs highlight the resilience and determination of individuals and disabilities in Sierra Leone. Over to South Korea now. Park Kyung-suk, a prominent disability rights advocate in South Korea, continues his relentless fight against discrimination and for better accessibility. After a hang gliding accident in 1983 left him paralysed, Park founded Solidarity Against Disability Discrimination, SAD. In 2007, uniting over 100 organisations across the country, his activism has led to significant attention and occasional repression, including arrests and physical confrontations with authorities. Park's current efforts focus on raising international awareness about disability rights in South Korea, emphasising the need for global solidarity in this cause. Back over to Africa now. Artificial intelligence holds potential for bridging development gaps in Africa by addressing challenges in various sectors despite existing technological disparities. For instance, Google's Project Relate helps Ghanaians with non-standard speech communicate better, significantly benefiting them. AI applications are also improving medical diagnostics in Zambia, aiding Kenyan farmers in identifying crop diseases and providing tailored education in Ethiopia. Proponents believe AI can help developing nations bypass traditional development phases similar to rapid adoption of mobile phones. There we are. Some great news from around the world. That was a real eclectic mix of countries involved there, wasn't it, DJ? Yeah, it certainly was. And yeah, we forgot to mention, sorry if you missed our show last week, we missed the show as well. Unfortunately, there was a power outage. Yeah. And the rest of Mananda for about six or seven hours. I'm not quite sure what happened, but we turned up on the day and no bueno. Couldn't do the show, could we? No. It was a bit of a bummer, but... Yeah. We made use of it, didn't we? Yeah. Yeah. All right, shall we have another song? What's coming up? Here's an 80s classic that still gives people chills. Thriller? No. Somebody's Watching Me by Rockwell. Oh, yes. Fun fact. The chorus is sung by none other than... The guy who did Thriller. Hang on, hang on. It's going fine. You know who it is. You've got five seconds, J-Man. Four, three, two, one. We're going. Yes! Michael Jackson. I'm just an average man with an average life. I wait for men to drive. Hey, hell, I pay the price. All I want is to be left alone in my average home. But why do I always feel like I'm in the 20s building? I always feel like somebody's watching me, and I feel proud of it. Oh, I always feel like somebody's watching me. Tell me, is it just a dream? Well, I'm a woman now. I don't know really why. People call me on the phone. I'm trying to avoid. But can the people on TV see me? Oh, the heart is paranoid. When I'm in the shower, I'm afraid to wash my hair because I might open my eyes and find someone standing there. People think I'm crazy. Just another touch. But in the end, the shower's behind me. Oh, it might take too long, but that's why. I always feel like somebody's watching me, and I feel proud of it. Oh, I always feel like somebody's watching me. Who's playing tricks on me? J-Man. Hitting them high notes. I don't know anymore. I believe in what I do. Well, it's the real man watching me. And I don't feel safe anymore. But what a mess. I wonder who's watching me now. Who? The IRS? Oh, I always feel like somebody's watching me, and I have no privacy. Oh, I always feel like somebody's watching me. Oh, I always feel like somebody's watching me, and I have no privacy. Oh, I always feel like somebody's watching me. Who's playing tricks on me? All right, I reckon that's enough of that. What do you think? A good one of these breakdowns already. No, let's not get off. It's good though, isn't it? Yeah. I always feel like somebody's watching me. I always thought it was Michael... I always thought it sounded like Michael Jackson. You know? No, it's Michael Jackson. But it is Michael Jackson, isn't it? Yeah. Why do you think he didn't take the song for himself? I don't know. No, me neither. It's a bit of a banger though, isn't it? Yeah. Actually, the lead singer's real name is... Do you know it offhand already? Kennedy William Gordy. What a wonderful name. Yeah, and his brother is this guy. Oh, the guy from LMFAO. Yeah. So, hold on a minute. That's his little brother? Yeah, his full name is Tendo Gordy. Yeah, but so his little brother became the guy from LMFAO. Red Fool. Yeah, that's his stage name. Red Fool or Red Foo? Red Fool. Red Fool with a big afro. Yeah. Yeah. I reckon we've got time for one more song, dude. I reckon it's not... We're not going to do the second to last one. We're running over time. We're just going to do the last one. How does that sound? What's that one? Well, the last one that we're going to do is the one from Mr. Brown. We're not going to introduce it yet though. I've got a question for you before we do go. What's the question? What's the meaning of life, Jesse? Let him postulate on this for a moment. Meaning of life? Yeah, the meaning of life. Big questions with DJ Jesse. Could be a new segment here. I remembered something from the movie called Forrest Gump. Yeah, okay. Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're going to get. There we go. So that's the meaning of life. You never know what you're going to get. So just eat them up anyway. Have you seen the movie? Yeah, I've seen the movie. I've seen it a couple of times. What's your favourite part of the movie called Forrest Gump? Probably the moment that we see Jenny for the last time. See you later, Jenny. Can't believe you spoke my name Forrest like that. According to that name, Jenny, I think I know someone who's Jenny. Yeah, we had a chat about her earlier, didn't we? My support worker. That's right, one of them. Yeah. Not your favourite, though. Who's your favourite? Hmm. Who knows? Break my heart, bro. Break my heart. All right, let's say goodbye. Let's get this over and done with here. I'm going to go. I think you're the best. Oh, thanks, man. Thanks, man. Love that, yeah. I think he understood my emotional upset there. And finally, Slow down. Slow it down. I've got that. Okay, sorry. And finally, let's slow down. Yeah. Cool. Cool. With The View by Chris Brown. Oh, yeah. Released in 2007. Yep. This film became one of his biggest romantic ballads. Oh, sexy. Providing sometimes simple melodies and heartfelt lyrics are all you need to vibe out. Oh, yeah.
