- 0:34Speaker 1: that's raged since Russia invaded Ukraine in twenty twenty two.

- 0:46Speaker 1: would like to see you do more to end the

- 0:52Speaker 1: the Prince Harry, Yes, how's he doing? How's his wife?
- 0:56Speaker 1: Please give him my regards? Okay, No, no, I don't know.
- 1:00Speaker 1: I know one thing. Prince Harry is not speaking for
- 1:04Speaker 1: the UK, that's for sure. I think I'm speaking for
- 1:07Speaker 1: the UK more than Prince Harry, but I appreciate his
- 1:12Speaker 1: advice very much. Great advice to the dinner. Why I
- 1:15Speaker 1: look forward to the dinner we're having. King Charles come.
- 1:18Speaker 1: He's a friend of mine. Prince Harry said on Thursday.
- 1:21Speaker 1: He wasn't in Ukraine as a politician, but rather as
- 1:24Speaker 1: a humanitarian and soldier experienced in the realities of war.
- 1:29Speaker 1: His appearance at the Keep Security Forum marks his third

- 1:41Speaker 1: The barrister representing sacked radio host Kyle Sandalans in his
- 1:44Speaker 1: multimillion dollar lawsuit against his former employer ARN says his
- 1:49Speaker 1: client's conduct isn't nice, but it's what the radio network
- 1:53Speaker 1: paid for. Sandalans is suing ARN for eighty five million,
- 1:57Speaker 1: the balance of his one hundred million dollar contract, which
- 2:01Speaker 1: was torn up by the radio network following an on
- 2:03Speaker 1: airs spat with his longtime co host Jackie Henderson. Barrister
- 2:07Speaker 1: Scott Robertson told a federal court hearing on Friday nothing
- 2:11Speaker 1: Sandalans did during his time as a presenter on Kiss FM,
- 2:15Speaker 1: which is owned by ARN, amounted to a breach of
- 2:17Speaker 1: his contract. Robertson also said, quote, the kind of conduct
- 2:22Speaker 1: in which he engaged was conduct that was contractually desired
- 2:25Speaker 1: and monetized. ARN claims Sandaland's treatment of Henderson in the
- 2:30Speaker 1: lead up to their February twenty blow up, in which
- 2:32Speaker 1: he berated her over what he called a fixation with astrology,
- 2:36Speaker 1: amounts to serious misconduct. Henderson is also suing ARN for
- 2:40Speaker 1: eighty two million dollars. She says the network breached the
- 2:44Speaker 1: Fair Work Act when it canceled the Kyle and Jackie
- 2:46Speaker 1: oshow and terminated her own one hundred million dollar contract.
- 2:51Speaker 1: Sandaland's barrister urged for the case to be heard as
- 2:53Speaker 1: soon as possible so his client can get back to work,
- 2:57Speaker 1: and said they're open to both lawsuits being heard to
- 2:59Speaker 1: get together if it doesn't slow things down. But Henderson's barrister,
- 3:04Speaker 1: Vanya Balute, said her client's preference is quote not to
- 3:08Speaker 1: be in a closed space with Sandalands for weeks on end,
- 3:11Speaker 1: and said they don't plan to call Sandalans as a
- 3:13Speaker 1: witness in that matter. ARN is gunning for the lawsuits
- 3:17Speaker 1: to be heard concurrently, given what their representatives called a
- 3:21Speaker 1: risk of inconsistent findings being made. Federal Court Judge Angus
- 3:25Speaker 1: Stewart has yet to hand down his decision on the format,
- 3:28Speaker 1: but floated October twelve as a potential start date for
- 3:31Speaker 1: the ten day proceedings. An additional one hundred million liters
- 3:36Speaker 1: of diesel are on their way to Australia under new
- 3:39Speaker 1: strategic reserve powers. Energy Minister Chris Bowen and Trade Minister
- 3:43Speaker 1: Don Farrell said half of that will be directed to
- 3:46Speaker 1: the regional Queensland towns of Gladstone, Mackay and Townsville. Check
