Speaker 1: Today's biggest news from The Australian. I'm Christinamio with the Front's afternoon headlines. The so called Outback Wrangler Matt Wright was back in court on Thursday, and this time he was representing himself. Wright was the star of the Northern Territory based adventure series Outback Wrangler, which ran for four seasons. His friend and co star, Chris Wilson, was killed in a helicopter crash while collecting crocodile eggs in twenty twenty two. The Northern Territory Supreme Court found Wright wasn't ultimately responsible for the crash, but found he misled police during their investigation. He recently served a five month jail sentence for attempting to pervert the course of justice. He appeared in the Federal Court on Thursday as part of a separate civil lawsuit brought by Chris Wilson's widow, Danielle. She's suing Right, as well as the insurer HDI Global Specialty and the Civil Aviation Safety Authority over her late husband's death death, arguing the helicopter slinging that killed Wilson was unsafe and should have been banned by the Regulator. The barrister who previously represented Right in the civil matter didn't appear in court on Thursday. Wright has always strongly denied any wrongdoing. Federal Court Justice Elizabeth Raper urged the parties on Thursday to set a trial date after proceedings were significantly delayed. The matter will return for mediation in September. An earworm penned by a seven year old Sydney boy is officially a viral sensation. Eastern Rosella's by Myles Phillips and his dad Joel has been played millions of times across Instagram and TikTok, as well as high rotation on Triple j's unearthed channel to the SPACIESUSA. Australian musicians Ben Lee, Meg Washington and Sam Cromac of Ballpark Music have all dropped covers of the catchy tune, which has arrived. It's a fierce debate around artificial intelligence and Australian creativity. It took questions from The Australian's Technology editor Jared Lynch for Origin to act on an alleged hack potentially affecting two million customer records. Origin issued a statement to the Australian Securities Exchange on Wednesday, saying it was investigating the possible breach after the self described hacker shared a sample of fifty customer records with Lynch. You can read all about how the alleged hack played out right now at the Australian dot com dot au and come back to the front first thing in the morning for our look at another technological catastrophe, the Telstra outage that left thousand stranded and destroyed faith in Australia's biggest telco.
