Hi, Sasha Barbagat with you.

Welcome to The Briefing.

After years of pressure from survivors and advocates, one Aussie state has changed its laws around sentencing sexual offenders and campaigners are calling it a major breakthrough.

A deep dive into the place of good character references in our legal system and the campaign to have the laws changed right across the country is coming up in the second half of this episode.

First, as always, it's time for the headlines with Chris Spirou on Thursday the 28th of May.

According to court documents, Patterson's lawyers will argue she was subjected to a substantial miscarriage of justice on multiple grounds.

They're challenging key evidence, including cell tower data, online mushroom sighting records and testimony from Facebook friends.

They'll also argue the jury's integrity was compromised after it emerged they were staying in the same hotel as prosecutors, police and media.

Overseas now, where five of the seven people who have spent a week trapped in a cave in Laos have been found alive and are being prepared for extraction.

The group of villagers first entered the cave on Wednesday last week in search of gold and wildlife, but couldn't get out after heavy rain and landslides flooded the cave's entrance.

Yeah, I think it's always amazing though when, you know, the footage has come out of like the camera coming up and like seeing this group and they're smiling and waving and it's like can you imagine sitting in that cave for a week going, well, this might be it, guys.

No one's found us.

And, you know, not only, you know, the jubilation for them but also for the rescuers who are trying to find them to be able to finally lay eyes on them.

As you said, it's a hard mission ahead but at least a bright spot that they've actually found them.

Now, it's worth noting the reforms will start from January 1st, 2028, and affected participants will come off the scheme over four years.

So that 240,000 figure isn't going to be an initial hit.

It'll happen in a gradual manner.

Details of the new eligibility rules haven't been formalised yet, but they are set to determine a person's suitability for the NDIS based on their functional capacity rather than diagnosis alone.
