Coming up in your lunchtime update, super plan pushback, the government against the algorithm and why we're running out of builders. I'm Josh Bryant with the latest from TAPT News. Experts are warning one nation's new proposal on superannuation could make cost of living issues worse. Not better. The Pauline Hanson led parties promising to allow renters and mortgage holders to divert a quarter of their future super contributions into take home pay, meaning a worker earning $90,000 annually would receive an extra $40 a week under the scheme. But the monthly full Scott Phillips has told nine the plan would not only hit retirement savings, but would also add to inflation repressions. You put 3% back in the people's pockets. Yes, they need it. This is renters and mortgage payers. Of course, everyone's saying, I need that money. Here's the thing. You do that. Price will go up even further because you've got more demand in the economy. And then what does the reserve bank do? It puts interest rates up to counterbalance that.
The Albanese government maintains its stronger social media laws will send a clear message to tech giants that they have to follow the rules. Platforms will be fined up to $100 million as part of proposed duty of care legislation. Social media users will be able to remove themselves from algorithms, which determine the content they see on their feeds. Communications Minister Annika Wells says the enhanced legislation must pass Parliament. Eight weeks ago, we asked the Parliament to give the E-Safety Commissioner more powers to go after big tech and equip her with more powers to hold them to account in the federal court. The coalition and the Greens have been doodling on this one. Australian parents needed these laws past eight weeks ago, but we're asking them to give us the amendments and get this through the Parliament this week. As study has found one in five surveyed Australian children have been targeted by online grooming experts say the contact can start with care and compliments before shifting towards sexual topics.

of changes being made to Allied health services. Labor plans to cap Allied health care for ex-service personnel at $5,000 annually. Opponents fear the limit will disrupt health care for those with serious and long-lasting injuries. Five people have died in a cargo plane crash at Miami International Airport, forcing the closure of all of its runways. The Amazon cargo plane barrelled off the runway bursting into flames. Miami's fire chief Ray E. Jardala says a total of 10 people were caught up in the incident. Five fatalities, three that are in critical condition that were transported to the trauma center and another two that were transported to a local hospital. And construction industry advocates are calling for changes to address a shortfall of 140,000 skilled workers in Australia. The Master Builders Association is recommending four changes, including a tax rebate for apprenticeship wages and recognising thousands of workers with prior training. Chief Executive DeNita Warren says it's important to address the structural workforce shortage.
In Finance, one Australian dollar buying 72 US cents sport. Rugby League boss Pete of Elandys has declared the game is in a brilliant position heading into the NRL finals. The rabbit oes host the night to kick things off on Friday night. The sharks take on the cowboys at Ali on stadium after the NRL move the game away from Shark Park. The first quarter finalists are locked in at the US tennis open, Craig Gabriel reports. Anything is possible of the tournament such as a major, but you got a question who'll stop Carlos Alcaraz. His performance against Tommy Paul was tops and the 64634 victory has put the defending champion on an 18 match win streak at the majors. It's his seventh win from nine matches with Paul. Arena Sabilecka and Taylor Townsend played a pretty good one with Sabilecka winning 6464 and shoe phase Linda Noscow who moved by Smartakostuk 755764 and Francis Tiafor has beaten Daniel Medvedev, Craig, Gabriel, New York.
