Good afternoon, it's Georgie Page and it's Friday, which means it's time for the weekly debrief. A chance to dive into the bigger stories of the week will tell you what's been happening and where to next. A jury deadlock has brought an abrupt end to the Lindsay Clancy murder trial in the US this week. We'll break down what the jurors have come out and said since and what happens next.

1:03And the federal government has finally unveiled its long awaited digital duty of care laws. Will unpack what it means for you and your algorithm, plus what one online safety expert made of it all. But first, here are your afternoon headlines for Friday, September 11 with Aelish Delaney. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has marked 25 years since the September 11 terrorist attacks in the United States. 10 Australians were among the 2977 people killed in the attacks in New York, Washington, D.C. and Pennsylvania, with Albanese describing them as lives tragically cut short far from home. In a statement, the Prime Minister acknowledged the grief carried by the victims loved ones and honored the courage and selflessness shown in the face of unimaginable horror. He said the anniversary was also an opportunity to reflect on resilience in the face of profound loss. Former Prime Minister John Howard, who was in Washington, D.C. during the September 11 terror

2:05attacks, spoke to the ABC this morning about his experience. I quickly came to realize just how important our association with the American was because this powerful country had been attacked in a trotist cruel manner and it meant that the world would never be the same. Molly Ties-Hurst's ex-boyfriend will spend at least 20 years in jail for her murder, which was a revenge for her reporting allegations of sexual assault to police. Daniel Billings stabbed the 28-year-old child care worker 15 times in an attack that lasted less than a minute after breaking into her home in Forbes in April 2024. New South Wales Supreme Court Justice Natalie Adams sentenced Billings to a maximum 28 years in jail, with a non-parole period of 20 years, saying Billings acted out of retribution, revenge, and extreme hatred towards Ms. Ties-Hurst. People receiving welfare payments have an average mortality rate more than nine times higher than

3:08those who don't access income support new research has found. The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare compared deaths among people receiving payments, including disability, unemployment, and care support, with those who weren't receiving income support. Of the 287,000 age 22 to 64, who died between 2012 and 2022, almost three in five received income support payments. Researchers say cardiovascular disease was the leading cause of death among welfare recipients, while there were also higher rates of deaths of despair associated with alcohol, drugs, and self-harm. The head of a Brisbane Cathedral has announced Hill Retire after the church became embroiled in controversy over an only fans' reality series filmed inside it. The 125-year-old St. John's Cathedral featured in an episode of Stans turned on dirty, sexy money, which follows people working in the adult content industry. The episode followed only fans create a lily phillips as she explored

4:10her Christian faith before taking part in a religious ceremony inside the church. In a statement, Dean Peter Katz said he was misled about the nature of the show, believing he was approving a documentary about Philips reconnecting with her faith, but admitted he had not put sufficient protections in place around the filming. He apologized, saying he was deeply saddened by the impact on the faith community, and had come to realise it was time for him to conclude this chapter of his ministry. New research is shedding light on the former life of Tasmanian Devils on mainland Australia. The marsupials fed on scraps from human campsites and remote rugged gorgeous of Western Australia for thousands of years, according to bones discovered at a sacred indigenous site, including a tooth more than 42,000 years old. Devils disappeared from mainland Australia around 3,500 years ago, with the arrival of dingos and increasing human activity thought to have contributed. And Princess Diana's famous revenge dress is going under the hammer,

5:13with the iconic black gown expected to fetch up to $300,000 US dollars. Diana wore the off-the-shoulder silk gown to a 1994 fundraising dinner on the same night the then-prince Charles publicly admitted his affair. It will go on display in London next month ahead of its December auction in New York. It is Friday, which means it's time for the weekly debrief. A chance to get into the bigger stories of the week, all the ones that need a little bit more unpacking, so you're across where they've been and where to next. Last week we told you a Massachusetts jury had failed to reach a verdict in Lindsey Clancy's murder trial, ending in a mistrial. This week, the people in that jury room started speaking publicly for the first time. Three of the 12 jurors sat down with NBC 10 Boston. He is four woman, Ronnie Carlson. We weren't trying to figure out if she murdered the children she did. And she's admitting that. We're trying to figure out did she know right from

6:14wrong at that time. And with everybody saying she loved her children so much and everything proved she loved her children from our journals to her mother-in-law, everything proved that she loved her children so she had to have snapped. Carlson said 11 of the jurors were persuaded to find Lindsey not guilty by reasons of insanity. But there was one male juror who was holding out. She said they eventually brought the holdout juror around to admitting he had reasonable doubt and she began filling out the paperwork for a not guilty by reason of insanity finding before he pulled back and refused to sign off. Here's Jura Kelly-Forena, a chef at a senior center. We read him on numerous occasions the definition of a reasonable doubt from Jupp Sullivan's instruction. He actually said one day in the end, or we have the judge coming and reading it again and we were like, no, we have it in front of us. Jura Paula Devlin described the 12th juror as arrogant, saying he

7:20dismissed input from nurses on the jury who'd gone through the toxicology evidence. However, a fourth juror, speaking to WBZTV anonymously, calling themselves, Jura number five, said the room was more divided than first reported. The holdout wasn't the only one who'd started out believing Clancy was guilty. There was so much doubt, she said, and there was no single moment in the case that made her certain either way. The juror said she'd started the trial believing Clancy was guilty, but came to see her as a woman in the grip of a serious mental health crisis. She also described hearing the 911 call from Clancy's now ex-husband Patrick as devastating, and pushed back on online conspiracy theories suggesting he was somehow responsible. Clancy's lawyer Kevin Reddington has also been doing the media rounds this week. On Good Morning America, he made an unusual ask for President Trump to consider a pardon for his client. There's a catch though. Clancy was only tried on state charges, so a presidential pardon

8:25isn't actually on the table. Legal analysis have called this more a political play than a serious legal move. Reddington also said he is hoping to strike a deal with the Plymouth County District Attorney rather than face a full retrial, though prosecutors haven't yet indicated which way they'll go. The next status conference in the case is set for September 29.

Also this week, the federal government finally unveiled legislation two years in the making, a digital duty of care for online platforms. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and communications minister Annika Wells fronted the media on Tuesday to release the exposure draft for the online safety amendment, which would force social media platforms, AI services, messaging apps and other online services to proactively protect Australians from harm,

9:27rather than governments reacting after the fact. Albanese said the changes would call on platforms to protect users, particularly children, from content that promotes eating disorders, misogynistic content, pornography and content that glorifies crime. One of the headline changes Australians would get the chance to switch off their algorithms. That's the recommended feed of what the platform thinks you should be seeing. And instead, you could opt for a feed based on only who you follow. Europe's already got something similar. Users there can already choose a feed based on who they follow rather than the algorithm on platforms like Instagram, Facebook and X. We put some questions to re-sparthing. A professional research fellow at the University of Cambera's News and Media Research Centre who's been across the bill in detail. I think fundamentally what we're talking about is these billion-dollar tech companies whose business model is fundamentally pretty predatory. It's based on keeping our eyeballs stuck on their feed in whichever way possible. It's based on the massive

10:32extraction of our data. She says the bills are good start, but it doesn't go far enough. It's focused on algorithms while barely touching things like content moderation, or how platforms pay creators to make content in the first place. If platforms breach their duty of care, they could face fines of close to $110 million. But farming says that's unlikely to trouble the world's biggest tech companies. The fines under this proposal will top out at about $100 million Australian dollars. That's just not going to move the dial when you're talking about companies with quarterly revenues in the billions. Otherwise, I think $100 million is just the cost of doing business. And it's not just tech companies pushing back either. The coalition has already said it will oppose the bill in its current form, arguing it hands too much power to the communications minister and risks becoming a tool for political censorship of lawful speech, use and debate. And even if you do get the chance to switch off your algorithm, Farthing says don't expect it to

11:34change much overnight. I don't think it's a silver bullet. I think a lot of people realistically like their algorithm. They've spent a lot of time training it. They like what it delivers and they will continue to do so. And I think particularly for their cohorts that we're really worried about, we hear a lot in the media about young men who have been sucked into the manosphere. They've been red-pilled all of that sort of stuff. They will continue to choose their algorithm because that is an active choice that they're making. The government will now consult on the exposure draft before introducing a final bill to parliament. We will keep you updated. And that's the latest from the Quikki newsroom. Join us on Monday morning for the latest headlines. Plus, we'll examine the disease that's surging in Australians under 50 and the lifestyle changes that could actually cut your risk.
