- 📍 An Iranian official says while "there is no toll" on the Strait of Hormuz, the regime is working to regulate the waterway and ships wishing to cross will likely be required to make some form of payment.
At a press briefing in Tehran attended by the ABC the regime issued its first direct response to statements from the United States over the weekend, suggesting a deal to end the war was close and would include opening the Strait of Hormuz.
Iran did say a framework to end the war with the US had been reached, but warned an agreement was not imminent and its nuclear program was not part of the negotiations.
The ABC was in the room for the briefing and was permitted to ask a question — one we were required to submit in advance.
We asked: "We would like to know under what conditions will Iran agree to open the Strait of Hormuz? Will there be tolls imposed on ships? Will there be different conditions for different countries?"

How would the government's 20 per cent gas reservation policy impact the oil and gas giant, that's Gladstone LNG project is widely acknowledged to be in the crosshairs of the new policy?
Santos chief executive Kevin Gallagher declined an on-camera interview with The Business.
MST Marquee head of energy research Saul Kavonic joined the show to explain how Santos, and the Australian gas market could be impacted by the policy.
He says the government is trying to make Santos' GLNG "actually do its fair share for the domestic market, because to date it's largely got off scot-free" from having to contribute any gas domestically and left that burden to the neighbouring two other LNG projects, run by Origin and Shell.

Managers of exchange-traded funds on the ASX are eager to get their hands on the stock that's scheduled to list on the Nasdaq on June 12.
If the IPO raises $US75 billion as expected - the SpaceX listing will be the largest public offering in history, and could see Elon Musk become the world's first trillionaire. BetaShares plans to include the company in some of its ETFs.
BetaShares senior investment strategist Cameron Gleeson says SpaceX could be an attractive proposition to Australians because for investors looking at the ASX post-budget and CGT changes, they will likely seek to prioritise income or maybe better off using income-oriented investing rather than growth-oriented investing.
He says SpaceX could be that, and "there's no substitute for an asset that can deliver superior returns", he said.

- Former Australian of the Year, AFL footballer and motor neurone disease (MND) campaigner Neale Daniher has died at the age of 65.
Daniher was diagnosed with MND in 2013, a disease he referred to as "the beast".
"I call it the beast, mainly because I can personalise it. If I'm going to battle something, I like to give it a name," he told ABC News Breakfast in 2015.
"It's a beast of a disease because it's got a 100% strike rate. Once you're diagnosed, you will die."
When he publicly revealed his diagnosis in August 2014, Daniher said the disease wasn't very well known, but he made it his task to change that, founding the charity Fight MND, which raises money for research.
One of the charity's signature events is the Big Freeze event, which sees celebrities sent hurtling down a slide into freezing water in the middle of the Victorian winter.
The 2024 event raised more than $20 million for MND research.

- 11 Australian activists on the Gaza-bound Global Sumud Flotilla have returned home after being detained by Israel.
Israel deported all the foreign activists to Türkiye on Thursday following a global outcry over their treatment in custody, with Turkish authorities confirming 422 activists were flown from southern Israel on three planes chartered by Ankara.
The organisers of the flotilla have alleged some activists were subjected to abuse, including sexual abuse — an allegation Israel's prison service has denied.
The Israel Defense Forces rejected all abuse allegations in a statement to the ABC.

- Description
- People are less mobile, less dynamic and more risk-averse than they used to be, according to a series of economic indicators. In 1989, almost one in five people in the workforce changed jobs in a single year. The most recent data, for the year to February 2025, shows just over 1.1 million people changed jobs, meaning job-switching fell to just 7.7 per cent, or one in 13 people. Self-employment has fallen sharply to a 20-year low, according to research from the e61 Institute. Business strategist Kate McCready says there's a lot of fear in the workplace at the moment. Contributing to those fears are advances in artificial intelligence (AI), the uncertain global environment and a weakening jobs market. Another sign of decreased mobility is Australians are not moving interstate as much as they used to. The cost of housing and the risk involved in taking a mortgage, plus transaction costs such as stamp duty make it harder to move. "All of these factors point towards Australians bein...

- Auction clearance rates remained soft at the weekend, with preliminary figures from REA Group showing markets tipping in favour of buyers.

Senior economist from REA Group's PropTrack, Angus Moore says interest rate hikes have clearly put downward pressure on home prices in Sydney and Melbourne.
However, he says what's keeping house prices strong for the rest of the country is supply remains constrained.
He says there's not enough data yet to see how changes in the federal budget to negative gearing and the capital gains tax discount have impacted house prices, but PropTrack's estimates show it will probably have a modest impact in the order of one to five per cent over the longer term.
"We'd expect that to push some investor demand into the new homes market and so how that change in the established market flows through will be a really interest...
