It's International Women's Day! And with the UN Chief declaring we're seeing the 'mainstreaming of misogyny' we're examining how real, passionate and tireless action leads to monumental change for women.Lawyer, advocate, survivor and Dharug woman Karen Iles joins the discussion as we examine the significant recommendations handed down by the Australian Law Reform Commission this week that could seriously change things for victim-survivors of sexual assault, the majority of whom are women.Less than 1 per cent of perpetrators are ever held as solicitors and advocates for victims/survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence, leveraging her legal expertise and public platform to drive systemic change.The ALRC found that with one in five women and one in 16 men experiencing sexual violence since the age of 15, fewer than one in ten such incidents are reported to police. From there, 75 to 85 per cent of such reports do not proceed to charges, and even fewer go to court. As such, the ALRC has outlined a roadmap for fixing the justice system, including 64 recommendations for meeting the twin goals of access to justice and accountability. Read more on the findings here.Karen joins Women's Agenda co founder Angela Priestley for this ep, who also shares why every day is International Women's Day on Women's Agenda.About Karen IlesKaren is Founder of Violet Co Legal & Consulting, Karen and her practice provide legal advice and representation to victim/survivors.

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened down 134-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 22,798 on turnover of $5.02-billion N-T. The market came under heavy pressure on Thursday - as it tumbled more than 230 points to close below the 23,000 point mark - due to selling sparked by a plunge on Wall Street overnight after the U-S Federal Reserve implied it plans to slow the pace of its rate cut cycle. Selling was seen across the board with the bellwether electronics sector in focus before its losses were trimmed in the afternoon session, which managed to cap the downturn by the end of the trading day.

The police officer was discharged from the N-S-B and returned to the Sixth Special Police Corps on December 8.

Kenya's Prime Cabinet Secretary referred to the escalating crisis as “the elephant in the room,” and said authorities have investigated most of the cases, which are pending in court. The official says since September 2023, a staggering 7,107 cases of sexual and gender-based violence have been reported in Kenya. He adds that the police inspector general has formed a specialized unit to combat femicides — the killing of girls or women because of their gender.

Wright, who is not in the U.K., has been sentenced to 12 months in prison, suspended for two years For eight years, Wright had claimed that he was the man behind “Satoshi Nakamoto,” the pseudonym (筆名;假名) that masked the identity of the creator of bitcoin.

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened up 108 -points this morning from yesterday's close, at 21,252 on turnover of 4.8-billion N-T.

Business Leaders Urge Government to Scale Back Carbon Fee Rate Plans Business groups are criticizing the government's proposed carbon fee rate range - arguing the plan will increase costs for companies and ultimately (程沧) pass the buck onto consumers. The statement comes after a review committee announced that it's recommending setting a basic carbon fee rate in the range of between 300 and 500 N-T per metric ton of carbon emissions. According to the Third Wednesday Club, the proposed carbon fee rate, combined with a planned minimum wage hike, will increase costs by "at least 10-per cent" for some companies .. .. and the initial carbon fee rate should not exceed 100 N-T per metric ton of emissions.

Donald Trump is facing a fresh indictment. Special Counsel Jack Smith filed against Trump on the same four counts of trying to overturn the 2020 election, but this time, given the immunity ruling from the Supreme Court, he did so without citing evidence that could potentially be covered by immunity. Will Trump's re-indictment for an alleged coup attempt sway voters? We welcome journalist and host of “The Issue Is…” Elex Michaelson to see whether or not he thinks this could affect the election.
