AGP Executive Report
Last update: an hour agoVisa & migration shake-up: Australia is tightening working holiday rules with a ballot for second- and third-year visas, cutting available places sharply, while also moving to detain tourists who overstay and restricting student family options—sparking fresh pressure on regional labour and food supply. RBA & rates: The RBA signalled inflation risks still need higher rates, keeping mortgage stress and cost-of-living front and centre. Fuel & inflation: Middle East disruption is pushing petrol above $2.30/L; the government is extending lower fuel stockholding rules to protect regional supply. ASX market signals: Whitehaven Coal confirmed a capital return update; several small caps logged corporate updates (drill permits, name/code changes, presentations), while broader market mood remains sensitive to rates and oil. Cyber for small business: A warning that small firms are the first target—because weak controls and supplier access gaps make attacks cheaper and more damaging. Safety & operations: Western Australia beaches stayed closed after a fatal shark attack, adding disruption risk for tourism operators.
