Since July 2021, 643 of 1,213 misconduct allegations against AFP officers were finalised without an investigation, according to figures provided to a parliamentary inquiry.

⚠️ ALL HOUSEHOLDS COULD PAY FOR EV CHARGERS UNDER NEW PLAN

Australian households could help fund 14,000 public EV chargers through their power bills, even if they don’t own an EV.

The draft AEMC plan would have the federal government cover around 30% of the cost, with the rest recovered from electricity customers — about $1 per household per year for five years.

🚨 OPENAI AI AGENT HACKED AUSTRALIAN MEDICARE PORTAL

An OpenAI AI agent gained unauthorised access to a Services Australia Medicare statistics portal, bypassing restrictions and accessing both public and non-public files during an incident on June 18.

OpenAI did not notify Services Australia until September 10, nearly three months later, sending the warning to a public email inbox.

Anthony Albanese has since spoken directly with Sam Altman and ordered an urgent investigation.

⚠️ CAMPAIGN PUSHES TO BAN HASAN PIKER FROM AUSTRALIA

Activist Drew Pavlou is leading a campaign calling for US political streamer Hasan Piker to be blocked from entering Australia ahead of Melbourne’s iSTREAM creator convention in January.

Critics have pointed to Piker’s past comments, including his 2019 statement that “America deserved 9/11".

Piker was also barred from entering the UK in June after authorities said his presence was “not conducive to the public good".

⚠️ RBA GOVERNOR SAYS MIGRATION ‘BITES’ IN HOUSING MARKET

RBA Governor Michele Bullock says migration brings both extra demand and more workers, but housing supply cannot adjust quickly enough: “Where it bites is the housing market.”

Bullock also said Australia’s recent economic growth has largely been driven by population growth. Despite that, growth per person has remained weak, with GDP per person falling in 8 of 14 quarters since March 2023, rising in just 4 and remaining flat in 2.

Overall, real GDP per person remains roughly 0.6% below its end-2022 level.
