New data reveals soaring prison costs across Australia: a convict country following the American model
Australia’s continued reliance on incarceration is costing taxpayers more each year, with new data showing the ‘revolving door’ back into prison is becoming further entrenched as governments double down on the American approach of building more expensive prisons while ignoring the evidence about what actually reduces crime.

Cancer’s Achilles’ heel: Monash researchers discover how to ‘switch off’ cancer genes for good

The Reserve Bank has increased the cash rate by 0.25 percentage points to 3.85 per cent, in its first rate rise in more than two years. The Bank is responding to inflation, which picked up materially in the second half of 2025.
