Morning, everyone. It’s perhaps not news to people looking for a home they can afford to buy, but Australian house prices are back at record levels after recovering to last year’s peak. As we examine this trend it also links directly to a special report this morning on how the political outlook of younger Australians is changing as they experience a “new kind of adulthood” where home ownership and children come much later in life, if at all. Plus we have the second part of our Weight of the world series on climate change.
Overseas there’s breaking news of an explosion at the Rainbow Bridge in Niagara Falls on the US-Canada border. And a four-day truce is due to begin in Gaza later today.
