Cutting migration numbers won't fix the housing crisis: Tony Burke. 

Critics warn major cuts to migration would damage the economy and jeopardise housing goals.

Ahead of the release of net overseas migration figures on Thursday, Immigration Minister Tony Burke says immigration and housing numbers were out of balance with each other but dramatic cuts were not the solution.

The federal government is targeting a net overseas migration level of 225,000 people each year in the next three years after numbers spiked following the COVID-19 pandemic.

"You go at migration the wrong way, then you can actually make the housing situation worse," Mr Burke said appearing on Sky News.

"Something like more than a quarter of the various tradespeople who we rely on to build our homes are born overseas. Similarly, sixty percent of our GPs are born overseas. 

"So we need to make sure that we are targeting the people who we need most in Australia, but also make sure that we don't inadvertently stop us from getting the people we need to be able to build the houses."

Meantime, Opposition Leader Angus Taylor used his budget reply speech in May to outline coalition plans to link immigration levels to the number of homes being built each year.

His plan did not give a final number on migration levels.

One Nation has proposed a cap of 130,000 visa places each year under its policy.

A permanent Bondi memorial is planned to honour victims. 

Six months on from Australia's deadliest terror attack, a permanent memorial will be established at Bondi Beach to remember those killed.

The New South Wales government is pledging $8.3 million to support the Jewish community after 15 people were gunned down in an attack at a Hanukkah celebration on December 14.

As part of the package, $2 million will be allocated to Waverley Council to erect the memorial. 

The financial boost comes at a time of heightened focus as the Royal Commission on Anti-Semitism and Social Cohesion holds public hearings.

The commission has been told the Jewish Community Security Group had warned NSW Police in the lead-up to the Bondi shootings that a heightened atmosphere of anti-Semitism made a terror attack on the community likely.

In an interim report released in April, the commission recommended Jewish community gatherings be earmarked as higher risk.

Economists predict rates to hold for the first time this year. 

Borrowers can finally expect relief from quickfire interest rate rises with the Reserve Bank poised to maintain the status quo for the first time in 2026.

The bank's board will begin two days of talks on Monday to determine whether the official cash rate will remain steady at 4.35 per cent.

Reserve Bank governor Michelle Bullock will announce the board's decision on Tuesday afternoon.

Despite persistent economic pressures from the Middle East conflict and inflation levels above the bank's preferred target range, a hold is considered likely.

If the predictions hold, it will be the first time this year the bank's board has not raised interest rates, following three consecutive increases in the first half of the year.
