2026/08/05

Australia’s economy is looking strong on paper—with 2.5% growth, rising private investment, and steady household spending—but the real story is hidden behind a few key props: immigration, data centers, and older consumers. Without immigration, growth plummets to just 1%. Almost all private investment is fueled by tech-heavy data centers, while wealthier seniors keep consumption afloat as younger people cut back. This fragile setup makes the economy dangerously vulnerable if these temporary

A 24-year-old man in Canberra is sentenced to two years and five months for brutally assaulting his partner with a cricket bat, fracturing her spine—and then chillingly refusing to call an ambulance, pretending to do so while mocking her pain.
