Domestic travel in Australia has rebounded far quicker than the gradual recovery in international travel as the sector recovers from shutdown during the pandemic. Unfortunately, this has been accompanied by high levels of disruption in the local travel market. Travellers have increasingly faced surging airfares, frequent flight delays and misplaced luggage in the past year, as the sector struggles to cope with the spike in demand. Other disruptions include labour shortages and extreme weather events.

Even when humans see AI-based assistants purely as tools, they ascribe partial responsibility for decisions to them, as a new study shows. Future AI-based systems may navigate autonomous vehicles through traffic with no human input. Research has shown that people judge such futuristic AI systems to be just as responsible as humans when they make autonomous traffic decisions. However, real-life AI assistants are far removed from this kind of autonomy. They provide human users with supportive information such as navigation and driving aids.

A 'traditional wharfie pub with a rough reputation' has hit the market in Port Melbourne, 13 years after a destructive fire forced it to shut its doors. The 155-year-old site of the former Hibernian Hotel has remained damaged and unoccupied since 2010, when an internal fire destroyed parts of the top floor, resulting in about $200,000 worth of damage. At the time, Chinese restaurant Mandarin Garden operated out of the 358 Graham St pub, offering both dine-in and takeaway cuisine. According to historical documents obtained by the Herald Sun, the fire was caused by a chef, who left a burning wok on the stove while nicking across the street for a punt at the opposing Clare Castle pub's TAB.
