On the anniversary of the Hamas attacking on Israel, Mike is joined by Lisa Segalov, an Australian-born lawyer and Israeli citizen.

Living about 30 minutes north of Tel Aviv, Lisa is the mother of two sons and a daughter, all currently serving in the Israeli military.  She also tragically lost friends in the horrific October 7 terror attack by Hamas.

On that day, Israel observed a solemn anniversary of the attack, which claimed the lives of over 1,200 people and resulted in the abduction of around 250 hostages.

Today, approximately 100 hostages remain in captivity, with many feared dead. Hamas is recognized as a terrorist organization by both the United States and the European Union.

Australia Overnight with Clinton Maynard - Highlights

Australian-Israeli Lisa Segalov reflects on the October 7 Hamas attack

Clinton speaks with NSW Treasurer Daniel Mookhey, who is set to introduce legislation forcing the big four private health insurers - HCF, NIB, Bupa, and Medibank - to fully pay their hospital bills.

Since 2019, their refusal to pay the correct rate for single rooms in public hospitals has cost NSW Health $700 million.

Last year, the insurers paid significantly less than the gazetted rate of $892, leading to a yearly shortfall of $140 million.

The new laws will restore lapsed 2013 legislation that previously ensured full payments from insurers.

An ABC investigation reveals the impact of multinational companies like Live Nation on the Australian music industry.

Dr Sam Whiting, Senior Research Fellow at RMIT University focusing on the cultural economy, explains to Clinton that the sector, once diverse, is now dominated by multinationals like Live Nation and TEG.

This consolidation forces many independent promoters, artist managers, and ticketing companies out of the market.

Small venues and local festivals are struggling, and without more public support, local operators may be forced to sell.

Dr.Whiting suggests that the Australian government and ACCC could intervene, citing monopoly concerns as Live Nation's control grows, reducing choice for artists and consumers.

Clinton speaks with Trent Nikolic from Drive.com about Tesla's potential breakthrough as the first carmaker to offer a fully autonomous vehicle without human supervision.

CEO Elon Musk claims that by 2025, Tesla’s 'Full Self-Driving' software could operate without human oversight in some US states, starting in Texas and California, with plans for global expansion.

However, it will be years before this technology reaches Australia.
