HSBC Chief Economist Paul Bloxham says there's evidence that the Australian economy is slowing down, which is helping put downward pressure on inflation.

The brother of Princess Diana, Earl Spencer, has gone on to do an interview ahead of his new memoir being released - and it's raised a few eyebrows.

He accused King Charles of insensitively telling Spencer, in the wake of Princess Diana's death in 1997, that 'we'll forget her soon enough'.
