AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

Housing & Finance: The HIA warns a proposed SMSF borrowing restriction for new detached homes could stall supply, with thousands of signed contracts at risk and detached commencements down an estimated 3.5–5% (about 4,000–5,500 fewer homes a year), urging lawmakers to back exemptions while evidence is assessed. Foreign Affairs: Penny Wong says Australia is “outraged” after Israel decided not to prosecute over the Gaza strike that killed aid worker Zomi Frankcom, and she will call in the Israeli ambassador. Public Money: Australia’s federal debt is set to cross $1 trillion for the first time, as Budget pressure and higher borrowing costs loom. Health & Safety: Medibank reports more customers using wellbeing programs as it posts a 27.5% profit rise, while a new study points to bladder nerves that may help reduce UTI burden. Justice & Community: A Thai teen found suffocated in a suitcase in Pattaya died from suffocation, with an Australian man charged with murder. Detention Scrutiny: A Commonwealth Ombudsman audit flags bullying, illicit drugs and staffing problems at Villawood Immigration Detention Centre. Economy & Competition: The ACCC executed a search warrant at WiseTech Global as part of a competition probe. Mental Health: A report finds two in five farmers considering leaving the industry, with women reporting worse mental health outcomes.
