Business warns Labor’s CGT push could chill investment A widening rift has opened between the government and major employers over proposed capital gains tax changes, with business groups urging Labor to narrow any reforms to housing and WA’s Premier Roger Cook warning the plan could deter foreign capital in the mining sector. The dispute matters because it goes to the heart of Labor’s economic pitch—balancing revenue and fairness against investment confidence—while setting up a sharper political fight with the Coalition and industry ahead of legislation. Covered by: Australian Financial Review, The West Australian, The Australian. EU trade deal in jeopardy as Coalition flags climate “lock-in” The Coalition is warning it may oppose the Australia–EU free-trade agreement, arguing it would entrench Labor’s climate settings and disadvantage agriculture. With trade diversification and farm market access at stake, the standoff raises the prospect of a major international

“It impressed me how the event brought a California or Silicon Valley-esque atmosphere to Sydney,” The Age & Sydney Morning Herald’s Technology Editor David Swan said of the recent AWS Sydney Summit. Held at the International Convention Centre in Sydney, the event saw over 12,000 people attend over two days.  Swan told Influencing the energy on the exhibition floor “mirrored a Dreamforce or a re: Invent in the US”. “As a third-party observer, [it was] very impressive and quite rare to see when most events in Australia do pale in comparison in terms of both attendance numbers and energy to their US counterparts”.  The summit coincided with the 20th anniversary of AWS's launch, with Australian operations set up in 2012 and New Zealand in 2025.  Additionally, Chris Casey, newly-appointed Managing Director of AWS in Australia and New Zealand, told Influencing the event was also off the back of AWS’s “new $20 billion investment, which is already being depl

For generations, aspiring journalists were told there was a path to somewhat secure full-time employment. Not an easy path by any means and not one readily available to those unable to spend significant time doing unpaid internships and then working in atrociously paid entry-level positions. Nonetheless, there was a well-trodden path. Get a degree, do internships while and immediately after studying, freelance, develop a portfolio, maybe do some corporate work, maybe move to a regional area, land an entry-level full-time job, then start inching your way up the greasy pole. That traditional career ladder hasn’t entirely disappeared. But its early rungs are disappearing. Junior jobs are fiercely contested. Freelance budgets have thinned. Youth-media mastheads that once gave young writers a start have shrunk or been shuttered.    For David Allen, Patrick Lenton and Jackson Langford, the crisis is not abstract. Each has lived through a different version of it. A
