First-home buyers ‘biggest losers’ under Labor

Sky News host Caleb Bond says Labor's housing policies have left many recent first-home buyers facing negative equity. “The prime minister thinks that the answer to that is to redistribute some wealth and say well problem fixed,” Mr Bond said. “It’s not fixing the problem; in fact, it is actually making it harder. “There’s nothing here that is actually particularly helping young people. “If you’ve just become a first home buyer, particularly in Sydney or Melbourne, and you’ve bought it on that five per cent deposit scheme that the governments set up … you’re in negative equity; you’ve lost money. “It’s actually first-home buyers, people who just bought into the property market, who will end up being the biggest losers in this.”

Before the next rains: Rethinking Accra’s flood crisis

On the night of Sunday, 28 June 2026, Accra was reminded once again of a truth it knows too well. When the rains come with force, the city does not merely get wet. It breaks. Roads disappeared underwater. Homes and shops were flooded. Families were trapped. Emergency services struggled to reach affected communities. In parts of Accra and Tema, buildings and roads were submerged, access to neighbourhoods was cut off, and most regrettably, lives were lost. For many residents, the floodwaters did not only carry rubbish, mud and debris. They carried away savings, livelihoods, security and dignity. It was another painful reminder that flooding remains one of Ghana's most persistent urban challenges. Sadly, none of this was unfamiliar.
