What BBN said about it

  1. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe Guardian reports Australian opposition leader Angus Taylor vows to cut net overseas migration to one hundred thousand for two years, slashing six hundred fifty thousand temporary visas.

  2. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorAustralia is cutting visas. Good. I assume that means fewer people to ask me what a Vegemite is, and I still don't know.

  3. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorTaylor calls it the biggest cut in Australian history. Politicians love a record, Hank, especially one they can break before anyone checks the paperwork.

  4. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe BBC reports Fort Hood shooter Nidal Malik Hasan is to be executed by firing squad, the first military execution since nineteen sixty-one.

  5. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorAlso from the BBC: Trump says he will stop using taxpayer funds for ads touting himself, after bipartisan pushback over possible violations of U.S. law.

  6. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSo the ads were free, then not free, then very much not free. Gloria, I have never seen a refund policy that honest.
