- A new poll suggests One Nation is Australia’s most popular political party as more Labor and Coalition voters switch over to Pauline Hanson’s party.
The RedBridge survey conducted for the Australian Financial Review attributes the increase in support for One Nation to disaffection with the two major parties after the government proposed reforms to capital gains tax and negative gearing in its 2026 federal budget.
Cabinet Minister Amanda Rishworth says she is not ‘surprised’ by the poll results because of the federal budget's boldness, while shadow treasurer Tim Wilson says the Coalition needs to explain its position clearly to the Australian people.

The latest report by market research firm Cotality shows home values flatlined as clearance rates declined across the country over the month.
Cotality's research director Tim Lawless says there is a stalemate in the market, as buyers are reluctant to enter the market in anticipation of further discounts while sellers hold onto stock due to rising interest rates and the government's proposed tax reforms.

- Housing Minister Clare O'Neil says if predictions come true that house prices could drop by 10%, it won't be the fault of the government's federal budget.
"House prices in our country move. The biggest driver of them is what goes on with interest rates," Ms O'Neil told ABC's Insiders.
The minister was also asked if the federal government's 5% Deposit Scheme combined with a potential fall in house prices could see many young people owing more than they own.
"This is a really robust scheme. Defaults against this scheme are vanishingly rare," she said.
Treasury forecast in the budget that house price growth would slow by about 2% in the short term. The Grattan Institute and Commonwealth Bank have supported that forecast.

The therapy involved 3 dosing days spread across a few weeks, where the drug was taken orally in the morning.
Once it was working in her system, Jess spent the next 6 hours working with her therapist.
Jess says the therapy was the first time she let herself feel her emotions since losing her daughter. The chemical release from the MDMA meant Jess could enter a different state of being. But she emphasises the therapy aspect was just as important as the drug.

- In an interview with The Pacific, Guam Governor Lou Leon Guerrero reflects on the island’s complicated relationship with the United States.
She explains why many on Guam want greater autonomy and a stronger voice in decisions that shape their future, especially as the island becomes increasingly central to America’s military strategy in the Pacific.
But while the growing US military presence brings real pressures, from land use to housing and local control, Governor Leon Guerrero says the military also remains vital to Guam’s security, economy and place in the region.
