There's no question, the cost-of-living pressures are making it tough for Australians right around the country. It's having a real impact. The ABS tells us every year, nearly a million Australians delay buying medicine that their doctor has said is necessary for their health, because they can't afford it. In a country as wealthy as ours, Australians shouldn't have to make a choice between buying medicine, paying their rent, or buying food. That's why making medicines cheaper was a key election commitment of the Albanese Government.

Crucial discussions on climate continued this week, following AgForce's presence at the Rocky drought forum. It's vital AgForce has a seat at the table, so the interests of primary producers are part of these negotiations with Ministers and interest groups. It amazed me that amid these vital talks, the carbon distraction continues to lurk in the background. Landholders are constantly approached by carbon aggregators. These are normally salespeople from commercial organisations, seeking to build a business by brokering deals with primary producers.

After the price announcement of the all-electric BMW i7 in Malaysia just over two months ago, the luxury sedan has finally made its official debut here at the unveiling of the brand's House of Forwardism, in conjunction with BMW Group Malaysia's 20th Anniversary. Available in the xDrive60 M Sport variant only, the all-electric luxury sedan is priced at RM729,800 . As its name suggests, the BMW i7 is essentially the all-electric variant of the BMW 7 Series . On the outside, differences between the 2023 BMW i7 and the 'regular' 7 Series are rather subtle, and this includes the location of the charging port and the lack of a fuel filler cap.
