Cost-of-living pressures and fuel supply chain constraints continue to weigh on the mortgage market following the Reserve Bank of Australia's (RBA) second interest rate hike in 2026. This week, the central bank offered a glimpse at its thinking, noting most mortgagors still have sufficient buffers to withstand tougher conditions. But questions remain about how resilient households will be if rates rise further and fuel prices continue to spike. In this week's episode of The Adviser's What's Making Headlines podcast, Charlie Tchetchenian and Ben Squires analyse the RBA's March 2026 Financial Stability Review and what it signals for borrowers amid the latest inflation data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS). They also review key developments across the mortgage and finance sector, including Recludo's latest acquisition, a Connective survey on broker AI adoption, and a warning from FICO's Corey Smith that the rise in fraudulent income documents and AI-generated paperwork has escalated the issue into what is now an industry-wide challenge.

Will Marshall is the CEO and Co-Founder of Planet.Planet own and operate a fleet of (200+) satellites which image daily, the entire world.Planet's ultimate ambition is to achieve a queryable earth. The way you might ask Google what the population of Australia is, you'd be able to ask Planet any conceivable question you might have about the surface of the world. The way Google would refer to the Australian Bureau of Statistics for an answer to the countries population, Planet will refer your query to their data, millions and millions of indexed images of the planet's surface to present you an answer.The applications of this are huge.Take economic intelligence as an example… all types of queries that could summon early indicators of movements that aren't already priced in.For instance, as an early prediction of retail sales you could ask; How many cars are in Walmart parking lots across America right now? Or even, over the past 3 months, what's the daily average number been?Which Chinese ports are seeing more or less traffic than they usually might since the 2026 Iran war began?And then there's uses for climate and the environment.I could ask, at what rate is a specific glacier retreating? Measure this season's melt against each other year to date.Monitoring and acting upon overfishing in protected zones.Or as I ask Will in the interview, could Planet's data be more accurate at early predictions regarding where an Australian bushfire season might be worst hitYou can imagine the applications for agriculture but as well, naturally, Planet's data is also crucial for defence.Will comment's on Planet's data indicating very early the Russian buildup of activity closing in on a Ukraine border.And I caught Will just day's after the 2026 war with Iran, a conflict where Planet's data is also in use.Will Marshall an incredible entrepreneur, but as you'll see in the interview, he also has extensive interests beyond just those of his business.Marshall's PHD advisor was Sir Roger Penrose. He worked at NASA. He was on the team that discovered large quantities of water ice on the moon. He co-invented a space debris collision avoidance method using ground-based lasers. Will has lived in communal housing for 20 years. He's a Brit abroad in America and is now the CEO of a company not only ambitioning for all the queryable stuff mentioned above, but as well is now partnered with both Google and Nvidia to explore the potential for data centres in space.It's a enormous pleasure to welcome to Will Marshall to the podcast.Podcast Starter PacksInvestigative JournalistsOffshore Finance/Kleptocracy & Money LaunderingGeopolitics/Economics/Economic DevelopmentExplorers & AdventurersLeave a review on Apple or Spotify (nothing does more to help grow the show)

Thank you for listening to Astronomy Daily! Here's everything from today's episode:   Story 1: Artemis II — T-Minus Days to Launch NASA is targeting April 1, 2026 for the launch of Artemis II — the first crewed lunar flyby since Apollo 17 in 1972. The crew of Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen will fly a 10-day free-return trajectory around the Moon aboard the Orion spacecraft on the SLS rocket from Kennedy Space Center. The six-day launch window runs April 1–6. Meanwhile, a new analysis suggests the mission could face elevated solar superflare risk, though NASA is proceeding after a successful Flight Readiness Review.

The Australian Bureau of Meteorology issued a severe storm warning for March 23. Conditions are easing on March 24 (Kp 3–4) but some aurora activity may continue. March is historically the best month for auroras due to the equinox effect, and with Solar Cycle 25 at its peak, scientists say this could be the best aurora viewing period until the mid-2030s.

TOI-561 b — an ultra-hot super-Earth about twice Earth's mass, orbiting its star every 10.56 hours — was expected to be a bare rock. Instead, JWST measured a dayside temperature far cooler than a bare rock would produce, indicating a thick atmosphere redistributing heat above a global magma ocean. The findings were published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters.

A Brown University-led team found volcanic material from the Taurus-Littrow region is strongly depleted in sulfur-33 — unlike anything found on Earth.

Are first home buyers really locked out of the Australian property market or is that just a headline-driven myth? In this episode, we unpack the latest data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics and reveal what is actually happening on the ground. The numbers show first home buyers are not only active, they are a major force shaping demand and influencing property prices. We cut through the noise to examine the real issue driving affordability pressures: constrained housing supply. With low listings, underbuilding, and intense competition at the entry level, first home buyers are adapting by borrowing more, adjusting expectations, and targeting different property types and locations. This is a clear, data-driven analysis of Australian real estate that challenges the mainstream narrative and delivers practical insight into market dynamics. In this episode: • What the latest ABS data reveals about first home buyer activity • Why the "locked out" narrative is misleading • The real impact of supply shortages on affordability • How first home buyers are adapting to enter the market • What it means for future property prices and demand Subscribe for expert insights on Australian property trends, housing supply, and market performance.

The prospect of another interest rate hike is stoking a federal political blame game about what's causing inflation to stick around.The opposition says the government's spending too much while the Treasurer Jim Chalmers is suggesting the scrapping of energy bill rebates is a factor behind the hotter than expected inflation figures.The Australian Bureau of Statistics says the largest contributor to annual inflation in January was the high cost of housing.Australia's among several countries around the world that are taking steps related to withdrawing diplomats and their families or encouraging people to leave the middle east, as the threat of a US strike on Iran continues to loom.The Australian Government's told people in Israel and Lebanon to leave now before commercial flights are potentially grounded and it's also offering to evacuate the families of officials in several embassies.The US has warships in the region and a conflict could break out if Iran doesn't agree to demands aiming to stop the hardline regime from eventually producing a nuclear weapon.Authorities in Cuba say their forces have killed four people aboard a US-based speedboat.At least seven others were injured and are receiving medical attention.The incident took place amid heightened tension between Cuba and the US, which has blocked virtually all oil shipments to the Communist-run island.

In this episode of The Smart Property Investment Show, Phil Tarrant is joined by Lachlan Vidler from Atlas Property Group to challenge the myth that successful investors need massive property portfolios. They discuss how the idea of building $10 million portfolios is often driven by vanity rather than sound financial strategy. Drawing on Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) data, Tarrant notes that most Australian property investors own just one or two properties, not sprawling portfolios. Vidler explains that managing multiple properties brings similar complexity regardless of value, often increasing stress without improving outcomes. The conversation highlights how tighter lending conditions, elevated prices, and regulatory changes have made large-scale portfolio building far more difficult than it was decades ago. Instead, the duo argues that fewer, higher-quality assets can deliver stronger long-term results with fewer headaches. A practical example shows how acquiring a small number of properties over time and strategically selling can lead to a debt-free portfolio generating meaningful passive income. Ultimately, the episode reinforces that realistic goals, patience, and quality investments matter far more than the number of properties owned.

With the festive rush underway, shoplifting has surged across Australia, reaching a 20-year high, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics. We speak with Sydney based Gurmeet Tuli, head of Little India Australia, representing nearly 90 Indian-origin small businesses. Tuli notes that while theft peaks for Indian businesses around Diwali, the broader holiday period consistently brings the highest losses, often 8–12%. He shares common patterns observed in these crimes and practical steps retailers can take to protect their stores.

Modern security is defined less by a single network perimeter and more by a web of interconnected partners, vendors, and shared infrastructure, where one weak link can trigger widespread impact. Criminals are exploiting this by abusing trusted relationships and platforms: in logistics, attackers impersonate freight middlemen to take over identities, push fake loads, and use malicious links to compromise carrier systems and hijack real-world cargo, while a breach at a fintech provider and an IT failure shared across London councils show how third-party or shared services can ripple across many institutions. At the same time, phishing campaigns that spoof familiar tools like Calendly and major brands turn everyday business workflows into delivery channels for account takeover and abuse of ad and business platforms.Alongside this erosion of perimeter and trust, artificial intelligence introduces a new, unstable risk frontier. Research into “syntax hacking” shows that AI safety controls can be bypassed simply by changing sentence structure, revealing how current models often key on grammar rather than true meaning and leaving dangerous gaps in protections. Real-world deployments amplify these concerns: surveillance firm Flock reportedly relied on overseas gig workers to review sensitive footage to train its systems, illustrating how technically brittle AI is already entangled with serious privacy and labor issues. This moment echoes early social media, with warnings that—without strong governance—AI could evolve into a tool of control rather than shared benefit.Even as these advanced threats grow, many major incidents still stem from basic failures. A breach at Illuminate Education exposed unencrypted data for millions of students due to missing fundamentals like access controls and patching, while the Australian Bureau of Meteorology spent heavily on a website overhaul that degraded services and public trust, underscoring how poor project governance can be as damaging as outright insecurity. In response, governments and regulators are escalating both direct enforcement and strategic policy: Europol has physically dismantled a major crypto-mixing service used for money laundering, while EU lawmakers push for “digital sovereignty” by demanding EU institutions replace Microsoft tools with European alternatives. Together, these themes show a security landscape where fragile trust, immature AI governance, and unresolved basics collide with increasingly assertive institutional responses.
