"The Carb Loading" Aussie Winter Olympian Abbey Wilson Live From Athletes Village In Italy

Australia isn't renowned for it's snow and ice, in fact, quite the opposite, but that doesn't mean we're lacking in the Winter Olympic team department!

Today we speak to 19yo Abbey Wilson, who is about to embark on her first ever Winter Olympic experience in Milano Cortina, representing Australia in the Snowboard Cross. She tells us what it's like in the village, how the carb loading will be epic this year and what it's like to be on a team led by icon and legend Alissa Camplin.

And in headlines today, The federal opposition has blamed the Labor government for yesterday’s interest rate increase accusing them of being addicted to spending; People are being urged not to speculate on a suspected double murder-suicide of a Perth family with high-needs children while police investigate the deaths; The potentially deadly targeting of an Invasion Day rally has been widely condemned in parliament as an attack on all Australians; French police have raided ‍the offices of Elon Musk's social media network X; Marius Borg Høiby, the eldest son of Norway's Crown Princess Mette-Marit, has denied the most serious charges at his rape trial in Oslo; Steven Spielberg has officially achieved EGOT status after winning a Grammy for documentary Music by John Williams
