EXAMPLE SCRIPT

Good morning Sam, Hello Kochie..

Federal Treasurer Joe Hockey says the government is not dumping their paid parental leave scheme, they are just having a little trouble getting everyone to agree on it. The scheme will pay new mums up to fifty thousand dollars, which is enough money for about 5 family holidays to Disneyland.

Australia is getting fatter, not fitter, with a new report revealing why we're eating record amounts of take away food. The Canstar Blue survey found that 1 in 3 Australians find fast food cheap, convenient and delicious.

To sport, and Port Adelaide's fight for a spot in the top eight got a boost today, with some inspiring words from Club President, David Koch...

And that's the latest in Sunrise news, from all of us here, have a great day.
