Local police say 53-year-old Matthew Cameron Payton, who has been identified as a Victorian police officer, died on the trail whilst hiking with a tour group on Wednesday afternoon local time when he reportedly tripped and fell through a damaged security barrier. Mr Payton had been travelling in the region with his wife before beginning the four-day trek. He was later reported missing before his body was found. Police believe the Victorian officer fell up to 400 metres with authorities now working to transport his body to the city of Cusco.

GYG currently operates eight stores in the Chicago area, with the closure expected to cost the company up to US$40 million in one-off expenses. Shares, though, in the company jumped just after the announcement. New Zealand's Finance Minister Nicola Willis has taken a cheeky swipe at Australia's latest budget changes, inviting unhappy investors to consider moving across the Tasman. Speaking to Sky News, Willis pitched New Zealand as a pro-growth alternative. highlighting its simple tax system, no capital gains tax and business-friendly rules.
