Natalie Bassingthwaighte and Rob Mills are starring in the Australian premiere of the Broadway musical Waitress, alongside John Waters. The production tells the story of a small-town waitress and expert pie maker who dreams of escaping her troubled marriage, featuring music by Sara Bareilles including the standout song 'She Used to Be Mine'. The two performers previously worked together 20 years ago in an arena spectacular with John Farnham and more recently in the musical Chess.

The Australian Treasurer Jim Chalmers has not ruled out potential changes to capital gains tax, which currently offers a 50% discount on profits from assets held over a year. The proposed changes could reduce this discount, sparking debate between property industry representatives who warn of impacts on mum-and-dad investors and rental supply, and Greens Senator Nick McKim who argues the current system unfairly benefits wealthy property speculators at a cost of $22 billion annually to the Commonwealth budget. Both sides acknowledge Australia's housing supply shortage remains the fundamental issue driving affordability challenges.

A Sydney police station was surrounded by anti-Israel protesters following Monday night's demonstration where 27 people were arrested, 9 charged, and 10 police officers injured, including one allegedly bitten. NSW Opposition Leader Kelly Sloan criticises the weekly protests, arguing they divert police resources from communities and strain public patience. Controversy surrounds footage of a police officer punching a protester and Grace Tame's use of the phrase 'Globalise the Intifada' at the rally.
