Migration figures drop as housing debate rages on.

Australia's migrant intake is falling, but remains far above the levels being demanded by conservatives hoping to ride growing anti-immigration sentiment to ballot box success, according to new figures from the Australian Bureau of Statistics.

Watch: Inside One Nation's 'Fire the Liar' campaign. Post continues below.

Released on Thursday, the data showed net overseas migration totalled 301,000 people in 2025. It comes after the May federal budget predicted the figure would fall to 295,000.

The numbers were down from 306,000 in 2024.

The data release comes amid a fierce debate about immigration levels. The Coalition has criticised Labour for underestimating the numbers, and One Nation has called for the migrant intake to be slashed.

Home Affairs Minister, Tony Burke, said the figures show the government is bringing down migration, while balancing the intake with skilled workers Australia needs. 

Gaps in frontline worker domestic violence training exposed. 

Many workers dealing directly with issues surrounding family and domestic violence receive just hours of specific training on how to handle it, or no teaching at all, an inquiry has been told.

The deficits came to light during a parliamentary inquiry into links between domestic violence and suicide, held in Melbourne on Thursday.

Training for nurses was confined to online modules depending on their health service, and was also lacking for midwives, representatives for the Australian Nursing and Midwifery Federation told the MPs.

"They call them online essential modules, that you'll have to do, but it isn't ... a core component", speaker Alana Ginnivan said.

"It's touched on as part of the social determinants of health, but it's not adequately addressed."

Almost half of psychiatrists reported they received fewer than two hours of domestic violence training in their entire careers, Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists representative Karen Williams relayed.

"That last statistic ... is quite alarming," Labor MP Louise Miller-Frost said in response.

Training is voluntary and hard to squeeze into the schedules of overworked psychiatrists, Dr Williams told the inquiry.

"There has to be a change in culture and acknowledgement that family and domestic violence is actually our core business," she said.

Earlier speakers said kids without specialised support were also often left with no option but to tell teachers learning "on the job" about domestic abuse experiences.

"Even if that disclosure goes well, if that conversation goes well, we know that they then face a service system that is adult-centric, that does not see them", violence against women scholar Kate Fitz-Gibbon said.

Family violence content is absent from the syllabuses of education and most social work degrees, she told the MPs.

The US-Iran 60-day agreement period has begun.

US Vice ‌President JD Vance said a 60-day window laid ‌out in a memorandum of understanding approved by President ‌Donald Trump and Iranian leaders has begun.

"I would say the 60-day period officially started today," Vance told reporters at a White House ‌briefing on Thursday.

Asked what ‌happens ⁠after the 60-day period in ​terms of governance of the Strait of Hormuz, Vance repeated the US view that the major supply route for oil and gas shipments should be free ⁠of tolls.

During the 60 days, negotiators are expected to tackle some of the most contentious and unresolved issues that were left open in the initial accord.

These include key questions surrounding Iran's nuclear program and the future of its stockpiles of highly enriched uranium.

Many analysts are sceptical the two sides can forge a final settlement within the 60-day ​window laid out in the memorandum of ​understanding.

NDIS reform report to be handed down on Friday. 

Disability organisations are anxiously awaiting a parliamentary inquiry's judgement on a plan to reform the NDIS and remove tens of thousands of participants.

The delay of a major report into plans to overhaul the $56 billion National Disability Insurance Scheme has been labelled "disrespectful," as disability advocates plead for participants to be protected from harm.

A parliamentary inquiry into Labor's plans to overhaul the $56 billion scheme will hand down its report on Friday afternoon, after a last-minute decision earlier this week to delay its release.

The Albanese government is trying to claw back billions in savings to stop the NDIS from continuing to grow at an "unsustainable" pace, under changes that will kick 160,000 people off the scheme.

Public hearings have been told by disability groups the reform would lead to people dying, while increasing complexity for support providers.

In a damning submission made on the inquiry's final day, the nation's disability ministers warned thousands of people would be left without access to crucial services or would end up in unsuitable places to care for their needs.

The states and territories also warned the changes went beyond previous recommendations made by reviews of the scheme.

NDIS Minister Mark Butler has previously said the changes were on track to pass the parliament by the beginning of July.

The 60-day deadline can be extended if both sides agree.

Church apologises for forced adoptions. 

The Church of England has apologised for its role in forced adoptions as recent as the mid-1970s, acknowledging the painful experiences of many unmarried women at so-called 'mother and baby homes' in the UK that were affiliated with the church.

Archbishop of Canterbury Sarah Mullally, the first woman to lead the church and the person seen as the spiritual leader of the worldwide Anglican Communion, issued the apology as the church released a report on conditions at the homes from 1949 to 1976.

Many women and girls were forced to do menial labour as a form of "correction'' for having children out of wedlock, and their babies were sometimes described as commodities available to meet the demand for adoption, the report found.

"We are profoundly sorry for the pain, trauma and stigma experienced — and still carried — by many people because of historical adoption practices in homes affiliated to the Church of England,'' Mullally said on Thursday.

"We have heard firsthand the accounts of mothers who were separated from their babies in circumstances where they had very few meaningful choices."

During the period covered by the report, about 185,000 children born to unmarried mothers were put up for adoption in England and Wales.

Lil Nas X reveals bipolar diagnosis. 

Lil Nas X has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder.

The 27-year-old rapper was arrested in Los Angeles in August 2025, after he was found wandering the streets of the city in the early hours of the morning.

The chart-topping star, who was charged with causing injury to a police officer and for resisting arrest, posted to his Instagram revealing he's also spent a few months in rehab following the high-profile incident.

Nas also admitted that he was reluctant to discuss his diagnosis in public.
