The Albanese Government has today announced it will stop the Coalition's Modernising Business Registers (MBR) program following independent review findings that the program could not deliver value for money, with massive budget and timeline blowouts. The independent review found the MBR program was way off course and could now cost up to $2.8 billion. This is more than five times the original $480.5 million estimate announced by the Morrison Government. The review, commissioned by the Albanese Government and led by Mr Damon Rees PSM, found the expected economic benefits of the program do not justify the revised costs.

SINGAPORE  – Oil  prices  inched higher on Monday, buoyed by forecasts of a widening supply deficit in the fourth quarter after Saudi Arabia and Russia extended cuts and on optimism of a demand recovery in China, the world's top crude importer. Brent crude futures rose 5 cents, or 0.1 percent, to $93.98 a barrel by 0027 GMT while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude was at $90.92 a barrel, up 15 cents, or 0.2 percent. 'China's stimulus policy, resilient U.S. economic data, and OPEC+'s ongoing output cuts are the bullish factors that support the  oil  market's upside movement,' CMC Markets analyst Tina Teng said, referring to a reserve ratio cut by China's central bank last week to boost liquidity and support its economy.
