- Description
- Investors are increasingly taking control of their retirement savings, moving away from passive superannuation strategies.
Nick Lissikatos, Director of Trelos Finance, highlights a growing preference among professionals and business owners for more hands-on management of their wealth.
This shift includes rising interest in Self Managed Super Funds and SMSF lending, giving investors greater flexibility to shape their portfolios. Rather than relying solely on traditional funds, many are now seeking tailored strategies aligned with long-term financial goals.
Diversification is also accelerating, with portfolios expanding into direct property, shares, exchange-traded funds and even regulated cryptocurrency exposure.

- Description
- Dale Gillham from Wealth Within explains why many investors are misreading the market during periods of uncertainty and volatility.
He argues that short term headlines and constant news flow are increasingly driving emotional decision-making, causing investors to react rather than follow a disciplined long-term strategy.
A major issue highlighted is fear-based investing, where emotional responses lead to poor timing decisions, such as selling too early or avoiding the market altogether.
Gillham notes that while uncertainty can feel uncomfortable, reacting to it often locks in losses or reduces long-term returns.
He also points out that there is often a significant amount of cash sitting on the sidelines, as investors wait for “certainty” that rarely arrives in advance.

- China has moved to block Meta’s attempted acquisition of AI startup Manus, marking a significant escalation in scrutiny over US investment in its fast-growing technology sector.
The decision highlights increasing regulatory resistance as geopolitical tensions between the two global powers continue to intensify.
The move is being viewed as part of a broader strategy by China to tighten control over sensitive AI development and limit foreign influence in critical emerging technologies.
It also raises fresh questions about how global tech firms will navigate cross-border dealmaking in an increasingly fragmented market.
Dr Karen Sutherland from Uni SC joins us to unpack the implications for Meta, China’s regulatory stance, and what this means for the future of AI investment between the two nations.

- Description
- Australia’s economic outlook is being shaped by tough questions around interest rates, inflation control, and whether the Reserve Bank is risking too much by keeping policy tight for too long.
Dr Steve Enticott of CIA Tax says the pressure on households and businesses is becoming increasingly visible, especially as borrowing costs stay elevated and cash flow tightens across sectors.
There are concerns that high rates could tip the economy from slowdown into outright contraction, while global tensions, including energy markets and geopolitical instability, are adding further uncertainty.
The key issue is whether Australia’s economic resilience can withstand another major global shock, or whether household pressure and external risks will finally force a sharper downturn.

- Australia has established a new AI Biosecurity Office alongside a national security taskforce in response to growing concerns over artificial intelligence being used to develop biological weapons.
The move signals a major shift in how governments are preparing for emerging tech-driven threats.
Officials warn that rapid advances in AI could significantly weaken existing biosecurity controls, making it easier to design or modify harmful pathogens.
The initiative aims to strengthen safeguards before these risks escalate further.
The government states that the new framework will bring together security, science, and policy experts to close gaps in current biosecurity systems and enhance national preparedness.
Professor Chris Berg from RMIT University explains how AI is changing the landscape of biosecurity, with concerns that advanced models could lower the barrier for creating biological weapons.
