AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

Gig Economy Pay Rules: Australia’s Fair Work Commission minimum standards for rideshare and food delivery drivers kick in today, lifting pay and adding insurance protections for about 250,000 workers. NDIS Crackdown: Parliament is set for a push on disability support reforms plus gambling and media funding changes, with regulators reporting record banning orders and provider registration revocations. ASX Markets: Wall Street slipped after softer US retail data; Australian futures point to a weaker open as investors weigh growth vs inflation and oil risks. Bank Bear Trade: “Widow-maker” short-selling against major banks is rising, with Commonwealth and Westpac short positions increasing as housing-debt concerns resurface. Housing & Cost Pressure: New data shows the gender pay gap hitting a record low, but wage growth remains slow—while property affordability debates continue as lenders and buyers react to cooling conditions. Energy & Resources: A founder warns Labor’s CGT changes could kill the risk-taking needed for new ASX-scale energy companies. Business & Growth Tech: Firms are leaning on digital tools to manage cross-border tax, payments and compliance as global expansion gets easier—but still complex.
