Why I think Unattended Cremations are a very bad idea - Matthew Uden Funeral Director

You're listening to SBS News. Good day. I'm Peggy J from the SBS Newsroom in this bullet and the competition regulators says federal courts ruling on coals is a warning to all retailers. Australians on Hunter virus crews to return tomorrow and in football, New Zealand prepares for the FIFA World Cup. Australia's competition regulators says the federal courts ruling on coals supermarkets down down price campaign is a warning for all retailers to ensure they're making accurate pricing and discount claims. The court has found the supermarket misled shoppers by promoting fake discounts on grocery products with Justice Michael O'Brien ruling 13 of the 14 sample promotions examined in the case were not genuine discounts. The A-Triple C alleged coals temporarily increase prices on products before reducing them to a level still higher than the original price before advertising the change as a special. A Triple C chair and commissioner Gina Kaskot-Leb says the findings increase transparency and deliver accountability around coals pricing practices and other retailers can learn from the outcome. It is very timely for all retailers, particularly as we lead up to end of financial years sales, to ensure that they make accurate pricing and discount claims. The A-Triple C will continue to take action wherever needed to protect consumers from misleading or deceptive conduct. Penalties will be decided at a later date with coals potentially facing hundreds of millions of dollars in fines. A similar A-Triple C case against Woolworths is still awaiting judgment. The coalition will propose cutting welfare payments to non-citizens if it wins the next election. A head of his first budget replies speech opposition leader Angus Taylor says the coalition will restrict non-citizens, including permanent residents from accessing 17 types of social supports, including the NDIS and parental leave. Currently, permanent residents and protected special visa holders can access the NDIS, though there are lengthy waiting periods. Responding to the proposal, Green Senator David Schubert says this policy will not make Australia fairer. The idea that we would be saying to some of our friends and neighbours and workmates that some of you are less worthy than others. They may have been living here for 10, 20, 30 years, paying taxes, contributing, being our friends and work colleagues, and yet Angus Taylor wants us to sit around a table with them and say, well, if those three down the end, they're less worthy than the rest of us. That is not the Australia I want. And I don't think it's the Australia that millions and millions of Australians want either. Let's go overseas now and US President Donald Trump is being welcomed in the Chinese capital Beijing as he begins a several-day long visit to the country. Chinese President Xi Jinping held a welcome ceremony outside the Great Hall of the People in Central Beijing. It's the first US presidential visit to China in almost nine years after President Trump's previous visit in 2017. Residents expressed hope the meeting would bring a positive outcome. Retired University Professor Lee Tual says the relationship between the two countries is very important. I'll be paying attention because the whole country's economy is tied to this in some ways. So I'll be following it. I hope China and the United States can have a more harmonious relationship. That way, both our country and the whole world will develop better. Back in Australia and the health minister Mark Butler says a group of Australians on board a cruise ship impacted by the Hunter virus outbreak have tested negative and will arrive home tomorrow. He confirmed that the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade has secured a suitable aircraft for the passengers who are due to leave the Netherlands tonight and arrive in Australia on Friday. Mr Butler says those returning a free of symptoms but will undergo further testing upon arrival before entering quarantine for three weeks. Again, many countries that are already repatriating passengers from this cruise ship, the US, UK and others are only subjecting their repatriated passengers to a managed quarantine arrangement at a hospital or at a centre like Bourgebrook, usually for two or three days and then allowing those passengers to move into a home-based quarantine arrangement. We have decided on a precautionary basis to take a stronger approach to that. Let's go to football now and veteran Nottingham Forest Striker Chris Ward-Wheel Captain New Zealand at the World Cup. Despite an injury plagued Premier League campaign, the striker has been selected to lead New Zealand's 26 strong World Cup squad. Wooden defender Tommy Smith will become the first New Zealand men to play at two soccer World Cups, both were part of the 2010 tournament in South Africa. New Zealand are ranked 85th and haven't advanced beyond the group stage in their two previous World Cup appearances. Thanks for listening. I'm Peggy Juckimellos with SBS News.
