- The Bougainville Revolutionary Army, or BRA fought a separatist guerilla war against Papua New Guinea beginning in the late 1980s. Tensions erupted over Australian company Rio Tinto’s massive profits from the Panguna gold and copper mine. The conflict grew into a broader war over land, resources and identity. A seven-year blockade cut off essential supplies and up to 15,000 people died. A peace agreement signed with Papua New Guinea in 2001 paved the way for Bougainville’s 2019 independence referendum.

- Childcare has become a system that almost everyone relies on, but very few think is working properly.
Families pay a lot, quality is uneven, and after years of marketisation the sector is now dominated by for-profit providers. So how did Australia end up here? Why is the system still so expensive, why does the data point to clear differences between for-profit and not-for-profit care, and does fixing it now require more than tinkering at the edges?
Adelajda Soltysik is one of Australia's foremost experts on childcare. She joins Alan Kohler to examine the deeper fault lines in the system - from the shift away from direct government funding, to the limits of means-tested subsidies, the case for a 100 per cent subsidy, the lessons from Canada, the role of private equity, and why some of the best community-run centres are still struggling to survive.

But as criticism grows over the impact of the military build-up on land, housing and the environment, Rear Admiral Lasky says the US defence presence is working to manage those concerns while preparing Guam for a more uncertain region.

- Since the start of the US-Iran war three months ago, the ASX 200 has dropped 6 per cent, while global markets have been consistently hitting record highs. Surging demand for high-growth tech and AI stocks is driving the surge across US, Japanese and South Korean markets — something the Australian market lacks. Moomoo Australia's chief executive Michael McCarthy believes there is a real risk about the profitability of many of these AI companies, which could lead to significant falls on Wall Street in the months ahead. He expects Australian mining and infrastructure stocks to benefit from the "HALO (heavy assets, low obsolescence) trade" in the coming months — and for local investors to favour high-dividend stocks as a result of the Albanese government's proposed changes to capital gains tax (CGT) discount.

- China is cracking down on beef imports and says it is ready to slap Australia with an additional 55 per cent tariff in the coming days.
Australia has already reached 90 per cent of an annual beef import quota that China introduced at the start of the year
Once the quota is hit, subsequent beef imports into China will be subject to the tariff, which is likely to impact demand from one of Australia's largest markets.

Families pay a lot, quality is uneven, and after years of marketisation the sector is now dominated by for-profit providers. So how did Australia end up here?
