- The federal government said the budget measures were designed to make the tax system fairer, improve housing affordability and help younger Australians into the property market. Under the reforms, the current 50 per cent capital gains tax discount for assets held longer than a year will be scrapped from July 2027.

The changes impact all assets including shares, exchange traded funds (ETFs), cryptocurrency like Bitcoin, property and discretionary trusts. The treasurer rejects criticism the changes unfairly punish young investors. He said rentvestors make up a small proportion of people under the age of 35.
Negative gearing will be restricted to new builds, but existing property investments will be exempt from the changes. Helen Hodgson, an adjunct professor of tax at Curtin University, said the reforms were one part of...

- US President Donald Trump claims to have cancelled scheduled attacks on Iran, saying Persian Gulf leaders advised him that a deal could be made including no nuclear weapons for Tehran.
The US leader posted on Truth Social that he accepted a postponement request from the Emir of Qatar Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud and UAE President Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan.
It would be unusual for any US military action to proceed without Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth in the situation room in Washington as he is currently campaigning in Kentucky.
