News in 5: Dogwalker leaves pet in hot car; Child abuse royal commission ends; Mango recall.

1. Sydney dog owner receives devastating text message from walker, before finding her beloved pet dead.

A dog walker sent a chilling text to an owner after leaving a beloved pet to die in the hot boot of a car while they embarked on a cruise, 9 News reports.

The four-year-old Keeshond was allegedly left in a car at Rose Bay in Sydney's east on Thursday morning, about 11am.

When the dog's owner, a 46-year-old woman, became concerned when her pet had not been returned home by 5.30pm, she questioned the walker as to its whereabouts.

"I'm really sorry, I think I left your dog in my car," the walker responded.

The distraught woman then rushed to the attended vehicle, smashing the car windows with the help of a passerby.

"She came over very upset and said she thought her dog was locked in a car," 33-year-old Glenn Herne told 9 News.

"I couldn't see the dog because the car had tinted windows. The woman was hysterical and in tears. She was inconsolable.

"I started tapping on the window to see if there was any movement but there was nothing.

When the pair eventually reached the dog, he was already dead.

"There was a towel in the car which I put over the dog and then neighbours came out and asked if it was a child,” he said.

The incident is now being investigated by police and the RSPCA has been notified.

According to the RSPCA, it takes just six minutes for a dog to die inside a hot car - less than the time it takes to duck into the shops for a loaf of bread and a litre of milk.

Temperatures inside cars can easily double that of temperatures outside, even on a mild day. If you see a dog inside a hot car, here's how you can help.

In a message on their Facebook page, NSW Police are reminding dog owners that it's an offence to leave pets unattended in a vehicle.

"Even with the air conditioning on... it can be deadly," they wrote.

"Anyone who finds a child or pet located in a vehicle should call Triple Zero (000)."

2. After five long years, the Royal Commission into child sexual abuse is over. Now, survivors are sharing messages.

Survivors of institutional child abuse say they've shed tears, demons and much shame during a long-running royal commission, and now they want action.

As the five-year $500 million inquiry wrapped up in Sydney on Thursday a collection of more than 1000 messages from survivors was handed to the National Library of Australia, AAP reports.

The book, which counsel assisting Gail Furness said was too heavy to lift, tells a story of stolen childhoods, painful confrontations and inspiring resilience by its anonymous contributors.

"I've lost 40 years to the demon that no longer has power over me," one person wrote.

Some spoke of blaming themselves, others described "deep and dark" scars or wounds that would likely never heal, and another declared they would now start picking up the pieces of their "broken life".

One person urged fellow survivors to continue coming forward.

"Just keep your head up and think of the future, not your past," they said.

Many hinted at carrying their burden for decades, never speaking about the horrors they endured.

"I never accepted that it had impacted me," one person wrote.

"Now the floodgates are open and the pressure released."

Their messages were consistent on one point - don't let this happen again.

More than 8000 people spoke with commissioners about their abuse, a process which has exposed "a national tragedy", according to chair Justice Peter McClellan.

Ray Leary, a victim of the infamous Dolly Dunn paedophile ring, hoped Australia would be a better place for children because of the commission's work.

Joan Isaacs, who was one of the first people to give evidence against the Catholic church, was one of many survivors to urge swift action on the inquiry's recommendations.

Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has said he will consider the recommendations "with the respect and care that they deserve" but offered no timeline ahead of the report being handed to the government and made public on Friday.

3. Summer is ruined: Consumers are being urged to return mangoes after fly larvae was discovered in some of the fruit.

More than 120,000 mangoes shipped to South Australia from Queensland have been recalled after the discovery of fruit fly larvae in some of the fruit.

Biosecurity SA has required a distributor to recall all produce from the affected grower, which is still in storage or on supermarket shelves, including all produce sent to South Australia since the beginning of December.

However, it says the discovery of larvae does not constitute an outbreak of fruit fly, AAP reports.

Biosecurity SA chief executive Will Zacharin said quick action from a member of the public alerted authorities to the heavily infested fruit.

"The importer has elected to fumigate the product still on hand, however, given the seriousness of the infestation a full recall from shelves has been ordered," he said.

"We will be suspending further consignments and following up with the Queensland Department of Agriculture and Fisheries as to why pre-delivery treatment of the fruit, as required under an import verification compliance arrangement, appears to have failed."

Despite the recall, the Australian Mango Industry Association said there would be no shortage of the popular fruit over Christmas and the recall should not impact on prices.

"There will be an abundance of quality fruit in SA and throughout Australia, over the next few weeks and into the new year," the association said in a statement.

"This week 587,000 trays of mangoes arrived in markets throughout the country.

"The recall was less than two per cent of this volume."

4. "Mr Weinstein does not recall pressuring Salma": Harvey responds to actress' harassment claims.

Disgraced producer Harvey Weinstein has responded to actress Salma Hayek's claims that she was forced into filming a gratuitous lesbian sex scene with fellow star Ashley Judd.

In an emotional essay penned for The New York Times, the 51-year-old actress said she faced years of sexual harassment at the hands of Weinstein while filming her 'passion project', Frida.

"He had taken a chance on me — a nobody. He had said yes," she wrote of Weinstein - then the head of Miramax films - agreeing to develop the film about Mexican artist Frida Kahlo.

"Little did I know it would become my turn to say no.

"No to me taking a shower with him. No to letting him watch me take a shower. No to letting him give me a massage. No to letting a naked friend of his give me a massage. No to letting him give me oral sex. No to my getting naked with another woman."

In a statement, Weinstein has denied Hayek's claims, saying he regards the Oscar-nominated star "a world-class actress".

"He was very proud of her Best Actress Academy Award nomination for Frida and continues to support her work," the statement read.

"While Jennifer Lopez was interested in playing Frida and at the time was a bigger star, Mr Weinstein overruled other investors to back Salma as the lead. As in most collaborative projects, there was creative friction on Frida but it served to drive the project to perfection.

"Mr Weinstein does not recall pressuring Salma to do a gratuitous sex scene with a female costar and he was not there for the filming. However that was part of the story, as Frida Kahlo was bisexual.

"All of the sexual allegations as portrayed by Salma are not accurate and others who witnessed the events have a different account of transpired."

5. A US study says Wi-Fi and mobile phones may increase the chance of miscarriage.

New research out of the United States has said that the use of Wi-Fi and mobile phones may increase a pregnant woman's risk of miscarrying by up to a third.

During the study, researchers from the Kaiser Permanente Division of Research in California asked 913 pregnant women to wear a small magnetic-field monitoring device for 24 hours while they were exposed to varying levels of magnetic field non-ionising radiation, The Sun reports.

Participants were also asked to keep a diary of their daily activities, and were asked to disclose if they'd ever previously had a miscarriage, smoked, consumed alcohol or were ill.

The results showed that pregnant women who were exposed to the lowest amount of radiation were 10.4 per cent more likely to suffer a miscarriage, while those exposed to the highest levels were 24.2 per cent more likely.

The study's principal investigator, De-Kun Li, said the research would help determine the levels of radiation that have adverse impacts on human health.

"We don't know the biological threshold beyond which problems may develop, and we also don't yet understand the possible mechanisms for increased risks," he said.

"This study provides evidence from a human population that magnetic field non-ionising radiation could have adverse biological impacts on human health."

But, he added, more research is needed to accurately determine the potential dangers of radiation from Wi-Fi and mobile phones.

"We hope that the findings from this study will stimulate much-needed additional studies into the potential environmental hazards to human health, including the health of pregnant women," he said.

6. "Oh my god! What?"Aussie star Margot Robbie learned she was nominated for a Best Actress award mid-interview.

Margot Robbie was shocked when the news broke she had been nominated for a Screen Actors Guild Award, a major step toward scoring an invite to the Oscars, AAP reports.

The Queenslander was sitting down for an interview on Wednesday with veteran Rolling Stone film critic Peter Travers for America's ABC TV network when her publicist whispered she had scored the SAG nod.

"Oh my god! What?" the Australian actress, captured by ABC's cameras, exclaimed.

Robbie was nominated for her gritty portrayal of controversial US Olympic figure skater Tonya Harding in I, Tonya, a biopic she also produced.

The SAG achievement comes just two days after a Golden Globes nomination and cements her place as an Oscar frontrunner.

Robbie was raised on Queensland's beaches, not ice rinks, so spent months training to skate in an attempt to pull off the role as the feisty Harding.

"When you make the film, you're so worried about actually pulling it off and making it or even making the days or even getting everything shot," Robbie told Travers.

"So now everyone knows - now we know that everyone thinks it's good.

"That's really nice."

Robbie is up against some of acting's greats for the SAG Award, with Judi Dench (Victoria & Abdul), Frances McDormand (Three Billboards), Sally Hawkins (The Shape of Water) and Saoirse Ronan (Lady Bird) the other lead actress nominees.

The SAG Awards winners will be announced at a ceremony in Los Angeles on January 21.
