0:44

I'm Grace Rouvray from Mamma Mia's daily news

0:46

podcast, The Quickie. Here's what's happening in the

0:49

news today, Friday, May 3rd. An

0:52

emergency package as well as long-term reforms

0:54

have been promised after New South Wales

0:56

ministers gathered for a special cabinet meeting

0:59

to discuss gendered violence. Former

1:01

Australian of the year Rosie Batty was

1:03

among experts to address ministers during Friday's

1:05

meeting in Sydney with an emergency package

1:08

to be developed over the coming days.

1:10

Plans to find empty motels or nursing

1:12

homes for crisis accommodation are amongst the

1:15

proposed ideas. Queenslanders have lent

1:17

on existing unused properties to provide crisis

1:19

accommodation in the past with the New

1:21

South Wales Deputy Premier Prue Carr describing

1:23

the measures as not a long-term solution,

1:26

but it is the creativity and urgency

1:28

that we need from the government right

1:30

now. The search

1:32

continues for two Australian brothers missing

1:34

in Mexico. Perth siblings Callum

1:36

and Jake Robinson were reported missing after

1:38

they failed to check into their accommodation

1:40

over the weekend. The two

1:42

boys' mother Deborah Robinson has appealed for

1:44

help to find her sons on Mexican

1:46

social media stating that Callum is a

1:49

type 1 diabetic so there is also

1:51

a medical concern. It comes amid

1:53

news Mexican police have arrested three people in

1:55

relation to the disappearance and a burnt out

1:57

white ute believed to belong to one of

1:59

the brothers. others was found on a ranch.

2:01

According to local reports authorities had detained a woman

2:03

and two men. The woman was found with a

2:05

mobile phone that contained a photo that looked like

2:07

one of the missing brothers. Prime Minister

2:10

Anthony Albanese said the Department of Foreign

2:12

Affairs and trade officials have been in

2:14

contact with the family and this is

2:16

a very concerning situation. Migrants

2:18

and refugees are finding it harder to put a

2:20

roof over their heads as well

2:22

as feeling blamed for Australia's housing

2:25

crunch as rental vacancy rates plummet.

2:27

An essential research poll conducted for

2:30

settlement services international found 43% of

2:33

those with a migrant and refugee background

2:35

were more likely to have experienced difficulty

2:37

securing affordable housing in the past 12

2:40

months. Around half of the

2:42

migrants and refugees polled felt they

2:44

were unfairly blamed as the main

2:46

cause of Australians housing affordability crisis

2:49

with a spokesperson saying they feel the tension

2:51

and they just want to be given a

2:53

chance to start their new life. Experts have

2:55

called for the private rental market to be

2:57

regulated with input and enforcement from industry bodies.

3:00

Less than a week after reaching a

3:02

court settlement with her father Brittany Spears

3:05

has also reached a settlement with her

3:07

soon-to-be ex-husband. Nine months after the

3:09

pair separated they have an agreement to divide

3:11

up their assets which has been submitted to

3:13

a judge for approval. The findings from

3:15

the court documents gave few details but

3:17

the judge is likely to sign off

3:19

on the stipulated solution soon and declare

3:22

both of them single. Last Friday Spears

3:24

and her father Jamie Spears reached a

3:26

settlement avoiding what could have been a

3:28

long ugly and revealing trial that was

3:30

scheduled to start later this month. That's

3:33

Claire Murphy will get you ready for
