Hey, it's Chris Spear with you.
Welcome to The Briefing.
There's been a lot of noise over the last month about the government's proposed changes to the capital gains tax concession.
It's made it hard to work out who to listen to.
So what does someone focused on just the facts think?
A chat with an independent economist who fronted the Senate inquiry into proposed CGT reform is coming up in the second half of this episode.
Firstly, let's get into the headlines with Sasha Barber-Gatt on Wednesday the 17th of June.
Economists vary when it comes to their predictions for the rest of the year.
NAB's forecasting rates will stay on hold for the rest of 2026 before we start seeing cuts in the new year.
But economists at KPMG and Oxford Economics Australia say more hikes will be needed as the flow-on effects from the Iran war continue to hit us here, with higher oil and fertiliser prices to drive up food and transport costs for some time to come.
They're not predicting cuts to start until the end of 2027.
Robert Smith was arrested in April and charged with murdering or ordering the murders of five unarmed detainees during deployments in Afghanistan between 2009 and 2012.
He was released on bail and a condition of that is that he can't leave his home state of Queensland except for legal or medical appointments.
Now, a judge yesterday altered that to allow him to attend the Anzac Hall opening alongside other living Victoria Cross recipients who have also been invited, but on the condition he does not discuss his ongoing criminal case.
For the very first time in her three decades in politics, Pauline Hanson will today address the National Press Club in Canberra.
The One Nation leader is expected to lay out her party's broader policy agenda, with analysts saying she'll need to perform well today to convince voters still on the fence.
Yeah, weird titles to assign them because, I mean, the Greens long, you know, they're a minor party, but they have spokesperson for X or spokesperson for Y. They don't have shadow anything.
There's no shadow anything.
That's, you know.
