First 90 secondsClaire Murphy· Host0:00
[upbeat music] Good morning. I'm Claire Murphy. Welcome to the Solo Bureau. All right, it's Friday. That means the state and territory whip is on the way from your new Martha Bluey, by-election tests, origin winners and losers. We'll let you know what's up from around the country, but let's get into it, shall we? This is what's been happening while you were sleeping, Friday, July tenth. [upbeat music] Power ballad legend Bonnie Tyler has died suddenly in hospital in Portugal. The Welsh singer was being treated for complications relating to emergency intestinal surgery she underwent back in May, where doctors had placed her in an induced coma to assist in her recovery. She was later taken out of the coma, but a spokesperson said she remained very unwell in intensive care. Her nineteen eighty-three hit "Total Eclipse of the Heart" went to number one in multiple countries. Her song "Holding Out for a Hero" was included on the Footloose soundtrack. She was seventy-five. A secondary fault that only became apparent after Telstra's first outage fault was being repaired has now also been fixed. Telstra's acting CEO Michael Ackland has again apologized for the outage, which left millions of customers without service.

I want to again apologize for the disruption these issues have caused to our customers and to the broader community.
