It's Thursday, the fifth of June. Here's what's making headlines this seating.

Speaker 2

Tasmanian voters will head to an early election after a no confidence motion was passed against Liberal Premier Jeremy Rockcliffe. Labour introduced the motion over its concerns about growing debt in the state following last week's budget and the increasing projected cost of a proposed stadium in Hobart. Independent and Minor Party MPs sided with Labour to pass the vote

of no confidence eighteen votes to seventeen. After the vote, Rockcliffe told Parliament it was a quote sad day for Tasmania after an election was held in March last year. He will now ask the Acting Governor General to dissolve Parliament and call an election.

The judge in accused mushroom murderer Aaron Patterson's trial has warned the jury to expect an extension in proceedings. Accused of deliberately poisoning four members of her estranged husband's family, killing three, the trial was initially expected to last six weeks, but as proceedings approach the end of that window, just as Christopher Bale has addressed the jury with a timeline update.

With a long weekend ahead and Patterson expected to continue giving evidence, Bille said proceedings will likely continue for at least another week. Following this, the judge will decide whether more evidence needs to be delivered to the jury or whether the trial can conclude. There is a possibility that hearings could continue until the end of the month. Patterson has pleaded not guilty to murder and attempted murder.

Speaker 2

Plane manufacturer Boeing has agreed to pay a one point one billion dollar settlement to avoid legal action over two fatal crashes. The twenty eighteen and twenty nineteen crashes claimed a combined total of three hundred and forty six lives. The settlement means Boeing will pay four hundred and forty four million dollars to the crash victims families and avoid further prosecution led by the US Justice Department. The manufacturer has agreed to pay an additional four hundred and forty

four million dollars to improve safety standards. However, the deal has been criticized as morally repugnant by lawyers representing the families of sixteen crash victims who've told the BBC the agreement gives Boeing the green light to quote sidestep true criminal accountability.

Speaker 1

And today's good news, a Victorian family has been reunited with their missing pet dog after a country Fire Authority led rescue operation. Ted the labrador and Penny the labradoodle wandered from their Trentham home in west central Victoria on Tuesday. The pairs adventure took a scary turn when Ted fell down an old mine shaft. Thankfully, Penny avoided the fall and was able to keep a safe eye on her

mate from above ground. A CFA Victoria rescue team traversed the eight meter mind shaft with the support of local fire authorities, and Ted was winched to safety and returned to his owners uninjured. The CFA acknowledged the incredible work from all involved in the search and rescue of Penny and Ted, who they said, quote might think twice before heading off on any more adventures after a rough situation.
