    Nedd Brockman urges Aussies to adopt rescue dogs
    Feb 1 2026
    Ned Brockman, newly crowned Young Australian of the Year, partners with Pet Barn Foundation to encourage Australians to adopt rescue dogs. New data reveals public perception is the biggest barrier to shelter animals finding homes, with nearly 90% of animal rescue centres at capacity due to the cost-of-living crisis. Brockman credits his rescue dog Dougie, adopted four years ago, with teaching him valuable life lessons and wants to change misconceptions that rescue dogs are too difficult or damaged.

  • Sydney's shark summer shows no signs of slowing

    Sydney's shark summer shows no signs of slowing
    Feb 1 2026
    Sydney beaches experienced multiple shark alarms and closures over the weekend, affecting locations including Palm Beach, Newport, Manly, Balmoral and South Maroubra. Bull sharks remain active in Sydney waters due to elevated water temperatures and lingering effects from recent storms, with increased drone surveillance now detecting their presence more frequently. Shark culling is ineffective as attractants in the water, rather than shark numbers, are the primary issue, and bull sharks play an important role in controlling other shark species like dusky sharks and bronze whalers.

    RBA rate hike looms as inflation pressures persist
    Feb 1 2026
    The Reserve Bank of Australia is expected to raise interest rates by 0.25% at its first meeting of the year, with markets pricing in a 70% chance of a hike following recent inflation data. Average mortgage holders with a $695,000 loan could face an additional $110 per month or approximately $1,300 annually in repayments. Core trimmed mean inflation, driven by housing, rents and electricity prices, remains stubbornly high and may continue to challenge Australian households through 2026.
