Video Overview & Insights

We begin with a major development in one of Australia’s oldest cold cases, as 87‑year‑old Vincent O’Dempsey is ordered to stand trial for the murder of a police informant more than 60 years ago. The decision marks a dramatic step forward in a case that has lingered for decades.

In other news, Australia’s latest inflation figures are sending mixed signals, headline inflation is easing, but underlying inflation is still rising. With construction and food costs staying stubbornly high, the Reserve Bank may be pushed toward another rate hike.

Elsewhere, Queensland police say they’re hunting a gang linked to a string of violent crimes across Townsville in recent months. The group is suspected of two shootings and two firebombings, with authorities fearing the true damage could be far greater.

And finally, the State Government’s big budget sell has hit turbulence, with two cost‑of‑living promises at risk of being swallowed by utility providers. It comes as ratings agencies prepare to downgrade the state’s credit rating, pushing borrowing costs higher as debt climbs.
