From The Daily Os. I'm Billy Fitzimus, I'm Sam Kazlowski. It's Friday, the fourth of July. Here's what's making headlines this evening.
The US Congress has passed Donald Trump's Big Beautiful Bill. There are two main categories in the bill, tax changes and spending cuts. As part of the changes, taxes on tips for hospitality workers and on overtime pay will be scrapped, fulfilling one of President Trump's campaign promises. As part of the spending cuts, the government will cut one trillion US dollars over the next decade from Medicaid, which is a health insurance scheme covering low income earners, Americans with disabilities,
and pregnant women. Some Republicans oppose the bill, despite party control of both chambers, citing concerns around national debt, as independent analysis projects the package will increase federal debt by trillions over the next decade.
Two bodies of men have been found in a house in the Sydney suburb of Surrey Hills, according to New South Wales Police. Police said they understand the men died at different times within the past month, meaning their bodies have been there for weeks. The men's identities are not yet known, but they are believed to be in their seventies and eighties. A woman in her sixties who also lives at the house has spoken to detectives, but investigations are ongoing.
The football world is in mourning after the sudden death of Liverpool and Portugal star Diogo Jotta and his brother Andre. The brothers, who were both professional footballers, died in a single vehicle car accident in Spain. The crash was reportedly caused by a tire blowout as they attempted to overtake another vehicle. Authorities are investigating whether or not speed was a factor. A father to three kids, Jotta had married his long term partner just eleven days before the crash.
Portugal team mate Christiano Ronaldos said, doesn't make any sense. Just now we were together in the national team.
Now you were married, and today's good news. One of Australia's most endangered species, the coroberrey frog, has seen its largest ever release into a new South Wales national park. More than five hundred endangered corroberrey frogs were released into Brinda Bella National Park after being bred at Taronga Zoo
in Sydney. The frogs were bred in partnership with the New South Wales government as part of long term conservation efforts to increase the population of the corroboree frogs, which are an integral part of Australia's sub alpine ecosystem.
