From RATs to riches: COVID-19 test importers buy $16.5 million house

 After more than five years on and off the market, a riverfront Georgian-inspired palace on Perth’s Millionaire’s Row has become Western Australia’s most expensive property sale this financial year.

The home, at 26 Jutland Parade in the affluent western suburb of Dalkeith, was sold by William Porteous Properties International to Matthew James Fry and his wife Anna Katarzyna Fry for $16.5 million.

The 2372-square-metre block has a 41-metre-wide river frontage.

The 1973 five-bedroom, five-bathroom home on it was previously owned by Tzu Chao Pan and Beng Choo Lim who purchased it in 1998 for $3.7 million.

Final say on Crown Perth oversight stays with government despite scathing royal commission

Image
 Western Australia's gaming minister has defended not setting up a dedicated group to advise on who oversees the state's only casino, as he presented the government's official response to last year's scathing royal commission into the organisation and its regulators and flagged a complete overhaul of gambling laws. The Perth Casino Royal Commission, which reported to government in March last year, found Crown Resorts was unfit to hold a gaming licence in WA.  It identified failures by government departments and regulators that it said in turn allowed money laundering to continue without question, and raised concerns about allowing junkets with links to criminals to operate at the casino.

Fortress Australia needs to open its doors to international students

Image
 International education is at breaking point and we need a national approach to temporary and permanent immigration to prevent this $40 billion industry from falling over. And as universities gear up for another academic year, nothing has changed for the international education sector. The federal government has still not announced a timeline for the return of international students and there are no pilot programs approved yet for 2021 to bring international students in to Australia.  https://thepienews.com/the-view-from/fortress-australia-needs-open-doors-international-students/

Come inside the RBA's media lock-ups to see how we report on interest rates and financial risks

Image
 In an era where many people struggle to put down their phone for 90 seconds, imagine handing it over for 90 minutes. That's what happens on a regular basis at the headquarters of the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) a fine example of 1960s' Bauhaus — many would say brutalist — architecture that watches over Sydney's historic Martin Place financial district. RBA lock-ups are a ritual I've performed countless times already in my 15 years as an economics and finance reporter at the ABC. For us journalists, it's a rare chance to enter the bank, speak with senior RBA officials face-to-face — albeit off-the-record — and properly skim 60 or 70-page reports so we can sensibly summarise the contents.
