Brisbane faces a critical shortage of tradies that threatens the completion of 2032 Olympics infrastructure projects. Construction Skills Queensland reports an average shortage of 18,000 trades annually until 2032, peaking at 50,000 by 2026-2027 when most Olympic venues should be under construction. Deputy Premier Jarrod Blay plans to recruit trades from interstate and overseas to address the crisis, though concerns remain about cost blowouts to the $7.1 billion budget.

Former Treasurer Josh Frydenberg calls for a Royal Commission into the rise of anti-Semitism in Australia following the Bondi Beach terrorist attack. Frydenberg criticises the government's response over the past two years, arguing that authorities failed to act on warnings about radical Islamic ideology and hate speech despite repeated calls for action. He describes the attack as the deadliest terrorist attack in Australia's history and demands accountability from the Prime Minister and Home Affairs Minister.

Naveed Akram has been charged with 59 offences including terrorism, murder and placing explosives over the Bondi Beach massacre that killed 15 people. Funerals are being held for victims including 10-year-old Matilda Britvan and 87-year-old Holocaust survivor Alex Clayton, while questions mount over how the gunman slipped through security cracks despite being on an ASIO watch list since 2019. Former treasurer Josh Frydenberg has called for Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to accept personal responsibility and establish a royal commission into the attack.
