Australians at risk of online gambling harm will be better protected through a ban on credit card payments and fines of up to $234,750 for companies who don't enforce it, through legislation to be introduced by the Albanese Labor Government to Parliament today. The Interactive Gambling Amendment (Credit and Other Measures) Bill 2023 will seek to ban the use of credit cards and credit related products, as well as digital currencies, used for online wagering. The Bill continues the Government's priority work to protect vulnerable Australians from online gambling harms and will also provide the Minister for Communications with the power to prohibit additional credit-related products as they emerge as a way of 'future proofing' the legislation.

However, in a new study, researchers from the University of Copenhagen have unveiled new insights into the workings of the brain in Parkinson's patients.

The Greens will use their Senate balance of power to hold up proposed changes to the tax treatment of large superannuation accounts until the government puts superannuation on paid parental leave. The Greens support for that reform will be contingent on passage of legislation to put super on Paid Parental Leave (PPL). The Government announced in their 2023-24 Budget that from 2025‑26 the tax rate on earnings of superannuation balances above $3 million will be lifted from 15% to 30%. This is expected to affect around 80,000 people in 2025-26 and in the first full year of collection (2027-28) is expected to increase receipts by $2.

NEW YORK (AP) — With thousands of migrants still arriving in New York City, Mayor Eric Adams on Wednesday renewed his appeal to the federal government to help the city avert a budgetary crisis as expenses mount — now projected at $12.2 billion by the end of next year — because of the influx of people coming from the southern U.S. border seeking temporary care and shelter. 'Our compassion may be limitless, but our resources are not. This is the budgetary reality we are facing if we don't get the additional support we need,' Adams said during an address that sought to put the onus on the Biden administration to help relieve his city from the growing financial burden.
