It's Friday the 25th of September. Here's what's making headlines this evening.
What happened in the tragic police pursuit that claimed Constable Mia Ley’s life?
A junior police constable who died in a car crash in pursuit of a stolen vehicle is being remembered as a brave young woman who served with distinction. New South Wales Police said a marked police car had its lights and sirens on as it responded to reports of a stolen car when it crashed in Redfern, Sydney at about 1.30am on Friday. The passenger in the patrol car, 20-year-old Constable Mia Ley, died instantly upon impact. New South Wales Police Commissioner Mal Lanyon said Constable Lay had only been on the force for 16 months but already showed exceptional promise, adding that Mia was a loved police officer. Paramedics treated the driver, a male constable, before he was taken to hospital in a stable condition.
The New South Wales Police watchdog said it would monitor the force's investigation into the crash to ensure public confidence.

How did Prime Minister Anthony Albanese address AI and climate change at the UN General Assembly?
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has addressed the UN General Assembly, issuing a call to world leaders to work together to confront growing issues of artificial intelligence and climate change. Albanese laid out the case for reining in artificial intelligence through additional safeguards and added that it was critical for countries to work together as the global order is being tested and trust in institutions like the UN is on the decline. The speech came a day after it was revealed an OpenAI agent hacked into a Medicare statistics website, leading to concerns about the technology, saying Australia has been leading the way in establishing Australian standards for AI.
Which teams are competing in the AFL Grand Final and what’s at stake for the Brisbane Lions?
The Brisbane Lions will play the Fremantle Dockers in the AFL Grand Final at the MCG on Saturday afternoon. The Dockers were the competition's most dominant team this season, winning 19 matches to finish atop the ladder and claim the minor premiership for the second time in the club's history. Since entering the AFL in 1995, the WA-based outfit has never won the competition. The Lions are playing in their fourth straight grand final, having won premierships in 2024 and 2025. A win on Saturday would make them the second Lions team this century to win three premierships in a row. The match will be accompanied by a musical performance from Melbourne icon Kylie Minogue. Sam, I'm breaking TDA's rules of not doing any opinion.
I want to know, you're a big AFL fan. Who do you think is going to win?
Padam padam.
Kylie Minogue's taking this one out. Kylie Minogue's going to win. I love it. All right, give us some good news.
What are the Australian Transplant Games and why are they considered good news today?
Here it is, Billie. The Australian Transplant Games kick off in Tasmania on Saturday. The competition is a celebration of people living with organ transplants, waiting for donations or who have donated to others. Every state and territory has sent athletes to the games, along with Thailand and New Zealand. Transplant Australia says the games, which occur every two years, have resulted in a flow-on effect of increased organ donation rates each time they're held.
What upcoming deep‑dive episode will explore the AI hack of the Medicare website?
That's the latest from the Daily Oz newsroom. If you're looking for something else, you can catch up on this morning's deep dive, where Sam over here explains how an AI agent went rogue and hacked Medicare. And you explain exactly what that actually looks like.
It's a very odd concept that is a very interesting listen for a Friday Arvo. We're going to be back on Monday with another deep dive. But until then, I hope everybody has a beautiful weekend.
Bye. We did the 20-20-20 rule earlier with Specsavers, but if you're on a screen all day, that's not the only thing you can do to help your eyes. Lighting matters more than people think, and too much glare from bright sunlight or harsh overhead lights can cause the same strain as staring at a screen too long. So adjusting and optimizing room lighting may help. An anti-glare screen protector on your monitor helps, and if you wear glasses, look for lenses with an anti-reflective coating, like Specsavers Ultra Clear Super Clean lenses.
