Australia and New Zealand are promising to strengthen trade and security ties in an “increasingly fractious and uncertain” world. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has crossed the Tasman for annual talks with his Kiwi counterpart. “In a time of global uncertainty, the certainty and the strength of this bond has never been more important,“ Albanese said in Queenstown.

House prices continue to rise

Affordability has overtaken interest rates as the greatest obstacle impacting Australians buying and selling homes. Property tech company InfoTrack has found the cash rate, currently sitting at 3.85 per cent, did not weigh in as a major influence on more than 130,000 Australians’ decision to buy or sell in 2025. About 45 per cent of those surveyed said it was not a consideration at all, while fewer than a third said interest rates had a significant impact on their decision.

Sky’s the limit for female pilots

Palestine tensions flare within Labor

Victorian Labor has voted to act against “military occupation, siege and genocide” in Palestine and suspend Australia’s participation in the three-nation AUKUS defence agreement. While non-binding on the state or federal government, the grassroots motions passed at the party’s state conference in Melbourne on Saturday highlight tensions on international policy within the Labor movement. Two successful AUKUS motions included calling for an inquiry into the defence agreement, suspending Australia’s participation in it and urging a federal government review into its ongoing participation.

Prefab house wins top award

A prefabricated house ferried to its island location by barge in the middle of the night has won a national architecture award. The Australian House of the Year in the 2025 Houses Awards has gone to a project that’s actually three homes in one, a design named Blok Three Sisters, on North Stradbroke Island, off the coast of Brisbane. The development had to accommodate three sisters in their 60s, as well as their children and grandchildren after their much-loved 1970s holiday house was infested with mycelium and became uninhabitable.

All eyes on consumer index

Australia’s traders, economists and mortgage holders will be locked into the Australian Bureau of Statistics website this week for a piece of data that could determine whether the Reserve Bank cuts interest rates next month. Minutes from the RBA board’s last meeting confirmed the central bank was holding out for more signs inflation was on track before cutting again, highlighting the importance of Wednesday’s quarterly consumer price index. AMP chief economist Shane Oliver believes an annualised result of 2.8 per cent or below for the RBA’s preferred trimmed mean measure would clear the way for another rate cut in its August 11-12 meeting.
