- President Trump has warned Iran that time is running out to agree to U.S. demands, as tensions continue to rise across the Middle East.
Reports suggest the United States and Israel are preparing for potential military action following a drone strike near a regional nuclear facility, fuelling fears of a wider conflict.

The NT has long been recognised as a powerhouse for producing elite Aussie Rules talent, with strong participation rates and a deep cultural connection to the game.
Harcourt argues the case is stronger than many assume, pointing to Tasmania’s successful bid as proof that political momentum and sporting heritage can shape expansion decisions.
While the NT lacks the population base of other contenders, its talent pipeline and grassroots engagement make it a unique candidate for AFL growth.
Beyond football, Harcourt also highlights the broader opportunity a team could bring, including investment tied to new infrastructure such as a potential stadium in Darwin and stronger economic links with South East Asia.

- Treasurer Jim Chalmers has confirmed major changes to negative gearing and capital gains tax, despite earlier election commitments from the government.
The 2026-27 federal budget formalises a dramatic policy shift that could reshape Australia’s property market and tax system.
The updated policy will scrap the 50 per cent capital gains tax discount and introduce a minimum tax rate of 30 per cent.
Negative gearing will now be restricted to new residential builds, while current landlords will remain exempt under the changes.
Supporters say the reforms are designed to ease pressure for workers and first home buyers, but critics warn younger Australians could still face higher barriers to entering the housing market.

The risk premium on energy is already starting to climb as traders reassess exposure.
For markets, the key question is no longer just supply disruption, but how long uncertainty alone can keep pressure on prices and inflation expectations.
