NAAJA Advocacy Manager Jared Sharp says the government “hasn’t consulted with anyone” in Alice Springs which is a “major problem”. Northern Territory Chief Minister Eva Lawler has declared an ‘emergency situation’ in the Alice Springs CBD to combat crime. A two-week youth curfew will be put in place as part of the response. “There’s a couple of problems here, and I think one of the major problems is that the government hasn’t consulted with anyone before doing this,” Mr Sharp told Sky News Australia. “We haven’t seen what these emergency powers actually are … they really need to be spelt out so police on the ground know exactly what they can and can’t do.”

Northern Territory Chief Minister Eva Lawler has declared an ‘emergency situation’ in the Alice Springs CBD to combat crime. A two-week youth curfew will be put in place as part of the response. “In any context where young people are having contact with the police, there is a very high risk of criminalisation of young people,” Mr Sharp told Sky News Australia. “That’s what we have seen over the years. “The big risk is if the police powers aren’t clearly defined to start with … then police don’t have that certainty.”

Singer Sam Smith split his pants during a live performance in South America, to the shock of many online. Despite the singer’s embarrassing situation, he laughed it off and announced to the crowd “I’ve split my trousers." The Grammy winner continued with his set, unfazed by the wardrobe mishap. Users on X subsequently roasted Smith online, with users theorising he cut the pants. “He cut that himself. He's got some disgusting humiliation kink and all this nonsense is the result of it,” wrote one user. Smith was performing at a Lollapalooza festival in Argentina while on his ‘Gloria the Tour’ concert at the time of the split.

University of Melbourne International Relations Professor Michael Wesley says a lot of Americans are “supporting” US President Joe Biden’s proposal to “start taxing the super-rich”. Mr Wesley said it would be a “real point of demarcation” between Biden and Donald Trump. “If it gets up and it is popular, it would end a long period of time of which taxes were seen as a bad thing.” Mr Wesley says there are “so many unknowns” about the 2024 Presidential race between Joe Biden and Donald Trump. “Whether it be the trials that Donald Trump faces, you could have something as basic as a major fall for Biden or a massive gaff during one of his campaign speeches or indeed something happening internationally.”

Sky News host James Macpherson says Catholics have reacted with “absolute shock” to Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s suggestion of working with the Greens on religious freedoms. Mr Macpherson says they have described it as “dangerous”. “Anthony Albanese is pretty keen to pass recommendations from the Australian Law Reform Commission which would limit Christian schools’ ability to employ staff who live by Christian values and ethos and to retain students who are Christians,” Mr Macpherson said. “Catholics have reacted with absolute shock calling the decision for Anthony Albanese to even suggest working with the Greens on religious freedom as ‘dangerous’.” The Prime Minister said the government is “concerned about all the forms of discrimination”. He also said if the Greens are willing to support the “rights of people to practice their faith, then that would be a way forward, but we don’t currently have that”.

Sky News host James Macpherson says US President Joe Biden loves to put himself at “the centre of everything” as he made a speech following the Baltimore bridge tragedy.

Inflation has come in lower than expected, remaining steady at 3.4 per cent for the third consecutive month. “Yesterday was a surprise that we needed in terms of the outlook,” Independent analyst Evan Lucas told Sky News Australia. “Even if we had not got what the expectation was, which was 3.5 per cent … the trend on a three-month and four-month basis is still a decline at about 0.8 of one per cent per quarter. “That’s now back at 0.9 – so the speed is there. “If you look at the trend also on a longer-term trajectory, the RBA’s expectations are pretty much holding true.”

A turbulent three months has wiped $384 million off the value of the brand Qantas. The revelation comes according to an annual analysis of the global airline’s brand strength and worth. It is the first time a dollar figure has been placed on brand damage associated with consumer outrage. The drop has also been associated with higher airfares, executive salaries, payouts and poor performances. Brand Finance Australia Managing Director Mark Crowe said the brand decline of Qantas contrasts against the industry average, which increased by 17 per cent.

Mortgage owners might have to wait until next year for any interest rate reprieve. ANZ's top boss said the central bank will be weighing up the inflationary impact of upcoming tax cuts before making a move on bringing interest rates down. Chief Executive Shayne Elliott said tax cuts would equal around two rate cuts and that the RBA would want to see how that money is being spent before making a move. He also said a further hike in rates was not off the table. The big banks remain adamant about a rate cut sometime in the last quarter of this year.

Platinum Asset Management learns the harsh lesson of losing a key client – started by CEO Andrew Clifford and Kerr Neilson in 1994, the company had around $16 billion under management – until an undisclosed client withdrew $1.4 billion invested. The ASX listed manager said the withdrawal will mean around $18 million a year in lost fee income. Mr Neilson was the Co-Chief Investment Officer and CEO for years with Mr Clifford for years before stepping down in 2022. Mr Clifford then took on the CEO role only to have Mr Neilson publicly urge him to step down in late 2023. At its peak, Platinum had $26.5 billion under management in 2018, but on Wednesday, its share price dropped 22 per cent at one point during the day and closed down at 21 per cent. The shares are down almost 80 per cent in the past three years, surprisingly similar to Magellan's performance.

Sky News Investigations Reporter Jonathan Lea says Australia’s personal information laws are a “long way out of date” as they date back to the “mid-80s”. The federal government is about to receive a crucial ACCC report exposing how much of Australia’s data is being unethically bought, sold, and spread by companies. Experts warn our privacy laws are 35 years out of date, with both major parties accused of dropping the ball. “In the next few days, the ACCC will hand what is effectively a four-year inquiry to the government,” Mr Lea told Sky News host Chris Kenny. “What the government does with that, we’ll wait to see. “The ACCC has finally lifted the hood and had a look to see what’s going on here. “The problem we have in this country is our personal information laws effectively date back to the mid-80s – they are a long way out of date.”
