Australian employment rose only marginally in June as the jobless rate jumped to the highest since late 2021, showing perhaps the first crack in what had been an unusually resilient labour market and adding to the case for a rate cut next month.

Donald Trump keeps adding gold to the Oval Office and before and after pictures show just how out of hand it’s become. Since Trump took office in January, it’s clear he wants to put his own unique touch on things at the White House,

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has toured a panda breeding facility in the final stages of an extended state visit that has cast China as a fellow champion of a global fair trade system under threat from the United States.

The skunk at Albanese’s party was Trump’s top policy official in the Pentagon, Elbridge Colby, with demands that Australia commit to joint war planning over Taiwan as part of the AUKUS deal to buy US nuclear-powered submarines.

Australia is “urgently seeking” more detail on President Donald Trump’s threat to impose 200% tariffs on pharmaceutical imports to the US, Treasurer Jim Chalmers said.
