Royal commission hearings locked in; pothole victim’s family speaks out; chopper crash
Victoria's Royal Commission into the construction sector will commence next week at Melbourne Magistrates Court, with proceedings live-streamed to the public. The inquiry is expected to take 18 months. The family of 71-year-old motorcyclist Peter 'Tiki' Mason, who died after hitting a pothole near Ballarat, has released a statement asking his death not be politicised while hoping something positive can come from the tragedy. Three people were killed when a news helicopter crashed in Los Angeles while covering a story. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
