- A voluntary assisted dying (VAD) advocate has called the Northern Territory's recently passed VAD laws "very weak" and says they will fail to help people like her late partner, who died with a rare neurodegenerative disease in 2015. On Thursday the NT parliament passed the government's Rights of the Terminally Ill bill, which will legalise VAD in the Territory when it comes into effect. The legislation includes conditions that patients must have a 12-month prognosis and that health professionals cannot initiate conversations about VAD — a so-called gag clause.

- Reporting season is nearing an end and Morningstar's market strategist, Lochlan Halloway, says "there's really two big stories going on, there's mining and commodities based companies and there's everything else."
BHP's share price is up 46 per cent year to date, hitting its most recent high of $68.77 on the 26 August. Lochlan Halloway says this is predominantly a story about copper, and that it might be overdone.
Lochlan Halloway so discusses the main themes of this reporting season; including tough times for retailers and the data centre "craze".
As for his overall view of reporting season, he describes it as "average to a touch soft. The mining earnings were very strong but the rest of the economy is only bumbling along."
After a strong session on Friday, the market rounded out the week higher, with the ASX 200 index adding 0.4% over the five days to 9,092. He spoke with finance presenter Alicia Barry.

- Supermarkets started with exit gates and bagging-area cameras, and now they're trialling facial recognition technology.
Coles and Woolworths have rolled out trials in a bid to combat crime, with about a third of retail workers not feeling safe in their workplace, a union survey found.
The technology scans the features of a person's face to create a unique digital code and identify them.
Neither of the supermarket giants have said if it will be rolled out in their Australian stores.
However, both companies say they're looking into improving protection for their customers and staff.
Industry groups say the move is about safety but experts warn, once it's installed, the "scope creep" doesn't stop.

- 5:47

- Description
- We know the catastrophic flooding on the Nepal-Tibet border was caused by what authorities describe as a glacial collapse. But why did the glacier collapse? And what happened to early warning systems?
Dr Ruth Gamble - the lead author of a ground-breaking book about the river systems of Tibet and the Himalayas - told ABC NEWS that climate change is likely a factor.
Reports from China's Caixin Global say the glacial collapse involved a massive section of ice shearing off a Himalayan slope at roughly 5,000 meters above sea level.
Dr Gamble said because it fell for more than three kilometres before it hit populated areas, it would have picked up significant speed, increasing its destructive force. She says early warning systems were knocked out by the landslides, and didn't work well enough.

- Description
- The owner of well-known Australian retailers such as Bunnings, Kmart, Priceline, Target and Officeworks posted a $2.9 billion net profit the financial year - down 1.8 per cent - as cost-conscious consumers hunt for bargains.
Wesfarmers chief executive Rob Scott says the interest rate hikes and higher inflation, as well as the Iran war, have contributed to a weaker consumer.
He says customers are now being 'very deliberate' with their purchases as they face a cost-of-living crunch.
Wesfarmers brands Kmart and Bunnings posted earnings growth of 6 per cent and 5 per cent respectively in the year to June, as customers look for cheaper options.
When asked how much the company was relying on the Anko brand to do the heavy lifting for Wesfarmer's profits, Rob Scott said, "you could say that Kmart is as much a product development company as it is an amazing retail company, and we're starting to use that Anko product development and sourcing...

- Description
- Official July inflation data released on Wednesday was hot enough to force three of the four major bank economists to revise their interest rate forecasts. CBA's Belinda Allen is now predicting a November rate hike. ANZ's Adam Boyton has the same view. NAB's Sally Auld goes a step further with a prediction of a September rate rise, and a possible follow up in November. Westpac has kept its powder dry for now maintaining the RBA is on hold for the rest of the year. After three interest rate increases so far in 2026, the official cash rate sits at 4.35 per cent. A further hike would take it to 4.6% - the highest since October 2011. Financial markets have one rate increase priced in by the end of the year. CBA's Belinda Allen says, "we saw inflation strengthen across a broad range of factors, particularly domestic market prices and that just shows inflation is still here to stay."

Hundreds have been killed and more than a thousand people remain missing, with the death toll expected to climb, after deadly flash floods struck villages in the border region between Nepal and Tibet.
The floods were likely triggered by a large chunk of ice breaking off a Himalayan glacier, according to satellite imagery, sending tonnes of ice and rock tumbling into a river below.
At least 35 Australians are missing, according to the Nepal Tourism Board.

- A Queensland hardware store owner has had a major court victory over retail giant Bunnings, in one of the first high profile uses of new 'no adverse costs laws'. The federal court ruled David Woodman won't be liable for Bunnings' legal fees if he loses his case against the retailer, which is trying to open up next door to his Mitre 10 business. Business reporter Emilia Terzon has been following the story and joined The Business to explain. She says David Woodman first learned in 2018 Bunnings was planning to open right next door to his Mitre10 franchise. His business, based in Jimboomba, would be put out of business if Bunnings opens the store. His lawyers believe it's the first known use of new NACO laws to avoid small players being liable for legal fees if they take on corporate giants. Bunnings says they note the decision on costs and will respond through appropriate legal processes, saying it's about bringing more choice and jobs to Jimboomba. Mitre10's owners Metcash says the cou...
