Perth real estate: Property sales hit 12-year high

 Perth property sales have hit levels not seen since 2010 on the back of strong buyer demand.

In April, the median selling time for homes was 13 days, while the volume of listings were one per cent higher than March and 11 per cent lower than April last year.

Mack Hall Sales Real Estate in association with Knight Frank Executive Greg Williams said a high sales volume and low property listings would result in a continuation of supply shortages, which had driven the market since the end of 2020.

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.
