Record profit for Saudi Aramco, Gary Lineker row deepens, Oscars coverage kicks off
Good morning. It’s one year on from the collapse of the predatory funeral insurer ACBF-Youpla and the loss of millions of dollars in policies paid by mostly low-income Aboriginal families – some of whom had to resort to crowdfunding or were forced to leave their loved ones’ bodies in morgues while they fundraised for funerals. Now, consumer advocates are calling for the government to offer them a refund, with estimates the compensation bill could run to more than $300m.
Elsewhere, the BBC scales back a second day of sports coverage after its suspension of Gary Lineker, and a gift of Australian land in Oscars goodie bags prompts questions.Kuku Yalanji elder Daphne Naden signed up to the Youpla Group’s fund in the 1990s and is among those left out of pocket when the funeral insurer collapsed.
