Sometimes a small event starts a cascade and problems escalate. A classic case was the woman who checked her bank balance at an ATM and was told she had $30. She withdrew the $30, unaware that a $2 balance enquiry fee had reduced her account to $28. The withdrawal pushed her into overdraft, triggering another $30 fee. Suddenly, a woman who thought she had $30 owed the bank money.

Children across Australia will continue to see gambling logos on professional sport jerseys until up to 2032 despite the governmentâs pledge to break the link between sport and wagering.

The Albanese government has banned gambling company logos on jerseys but legislated a five-year transition period to allow clubs and bookmakers to adjust.

The 2032 deadline has been criticised by public health experts, who question why the government recognised the logos as harmful but allowed them to remain for so long.

The government has signalled it is willing to fast-track a fix to its unintended "widow tax", which is cutting off people from eligibility to negatively gear a home when their partner dies.

The Coalition has demanded an immediate fix to the loophole created by negative gearing changes in return for its support for a $37 billion savings plan for the NDIS.

The federal government is hoping to settle negotiations on its NDIS savings package so it can be passed this week.

Taylor demands Albanese repeal ‘cruel tax’ in return for NDIS bill support

Coalition leader tells Anthony Albanese that delaying change to budget measure is âunconscionableâ

Get our breaking news email, free app or daily news podcast

Angus Taylor says the Coalition will only support the Albanese governmentâs proposed overhaul of the NDIS if it first removes the âwidow taxâ loophole from its changes to taxing investment properties.

The warning comes as the Albanese government hopes to land a deal with the opposition this week in order to pass the bill in the Senate after the Greens ruled out supporting changes to the scheme that are expected to boost the federal budgetâs bottom line by $37.8bn over four years.

Inside ‘The Furious’: How Kenji Tanigaki Built an Action Movie That Hits Different After the Epstein Files

If there’s a universal truth to agree upon in our divisive age, it’s that child traffickers are scum of the earth and thus well-positioned to serve as fodder in modern action cinema.

Thus, the premise of Kenji Tanigaki’s new movie, “The Furious“: When mute tradesman Wang Wei’s (Xie Miao) daughter, Rainy (Yang Enyou), is taken from him in broad daylight by members of just such an organization, he goes on a tear through Bangkok’s criminal underworld to rescue her, brutalizing any man foolish enough to get in his way with precision martial artistry (and his trusty claw hammer) in the process.

The Best Action Movie Of 2026 Has A 99% Rotten Tomatoes Score And Is Out Today

While there are dozens of action movies out each year, some rise above others, and there’s a new one that’s out this weekend may be one of the best we’ve seen in years. It currently has a 99% Rotten Tomatoes score from 83 critics, one of the highest marks of the entire year, plus a 96% audience score on top of that.

The movie is The Furious, the hardcore martial arts film with a deep pedigree of genre talent, and is being compared to something as impactful as The Raid, released 15 years ago in 2011. Not to say it’s the best since then, but I mean, maybe? Or at least it’s in the conversation.

Gout to lead main event on final day of Australian Athletics Championships

A finals frenzy featuring Gout Gout awaits on the fourth and final day of the 2026 Australian Athletics Championships, where global medallists Nicola Olyslagers, Kurtis Marschall and Eleanor Patterson will send off the Chemist Warehouse Summer Series in style.

Another chapter will be written in the growing career of Gout (QLD, Diane Sheppard) who prepares to defend his national title after delivering the performance of the championships in 2025 as the Betty Cuthbert Medallist.

On that occasion, Gout clocked 19.84 (+2.2) to ignite the crowd, now meeting Aidan Murphy (SA, Nik Hagicostas) who looms as the main challenger after a breakthrough season has seen him set personal bests from 100m through to the 400m. Lachlan Kennedy (QLD, Andrew Iselin) will not return after winning the 100m in a championship record of 9.96-secoonds.

On one of the most dramatic nights in the recent history of Australian athletics, it said plenty about the sport’s growing strength that one of its highest profile stars wasn’t even at the track on Friday night.

Teenage sprint sensation Gout Gout was resting up, ahead of his Australian national championship campaign getting underway on Sunday in the 200m. Gout is set to renew his rivalry with Lachie Kennedy in the half-lap sprint and record times could be in the offing.

But while his face may be on the posters, Gout’s appearance in Sydney is far from the only highlight of a national titles full of world-class talent across distances and disciplines. And with a splash of soap opera and controversy thrown in for good measure.
