Mid Coast Council's flooding study led to abandonment of flood levee
Insurance Council of Australia CEO Andrew Hall says Mid Coast Council spent considerable resources on a flood study to protect the CBD in the event of flooding, before abandoning it last year due to feasibility concerns.
'It would be really good to have a conversation with the council to understand how they got to that decision,' Mr Hall told Sky News host Ed Boyd.
'They spent a lot of money on a flood study, the flood study recommended a levee that would protect the CBD.
'This has been a record flood level for Taree.'

Albanese government accused of hiding truth over super tax rules for politicians on old pension scheme
The Albanese government has faced scathing criticism for failing to be upfront about how Labor's controversial $3 million super tax will apply differently to politicians. It comes after it was revealed that Mr Albanese and other politicians under the generous defined benefit pension schemes will not have to pay the tax until after they retire. Sky News also revealed recently that state officials on the old pension schemes are not expected to be taxed at all due to constitutional protections. Shadow industrial relations minister Tim Wilson told Sky News the super tax was 'one of the worst taxes' he had ever seen. 'It's reckless, it is dangerous, it' irresponsible and the family savings tax must be defeated,' he said on Tuesday. 'The government is looking at this as a way to get revenue. But what it actually means is young Australians won't be able to then go on and secure jobs in growth industries.' The comments come amid questions about how transparent Labor has been in the tax's applications to politicians, compared to other high-net-worth superannuants. Employment and Workplace Relations Minister Amanda Rishworth recently admitted to Sky News Sunday Agenda that some politicians would be 'treated differently'. 'They are treated differently. There is interest payable that is calculated in a defined benefit scheme,' she said. 'It is the same way that other superannuation tax changes and other changes have been applied to the defined benefit schemes.' Unlike ordinary superannuants with balances above $3 million, politicians on the old pension will only begin paying after they retire. Interest will accumulate on the tax owed at the long-term government bond rate of about 4.5 per cent. Mr Albanese deflected on Sunday when asked by Sky News whether he and others on these legacy schemes would pay the tax later than other superannuants. 'Look it applies to us as it applies across the board, but the legislation, of course, has yet to be carried by the parliament,' he said. The 'different' treatment has infuriated critics, who say the government has been deliberately opaque. Shadow finance minister James Paterson slammed the government's approach as dishonest and self-serving, warning it created a 'double standard'. 'Let me be helpful and answer the question: yes, it is deferred. You do not pay it during your working life,' Mr Paterson told Sky News Sunday Agenda. 'Every other taxpayer, if they exceed the threshold, has to pay it during their working life, but people like Anthony Albanese, on a defined benefit pension, only have to pay it after they retire. 'I think the government has to be open and transparent, much more transparent than the (Employment) Minister (Ms Rishworth). 'The Prime Minister should stand up today and explain his understanding of this different treatment between different categories of retirees.' When Treasurer Jim Chalmers was asked on May 14 by Sky News whether the tax would apply to politicians like Mr Albanese and Peter Dutton, he insisted it would. 'Yes, and we've made that clear... Politicians on defined benefit will be impacted if they've got very substantial balances by the changes we're proposing,' he said. However, Mr Chalmers' answer failed to clarify that the tax would not apply annually but instead would be deferred until retirement for defined benefit members. The government has attempted to justify its approach by saying it mirrors previous governments, including the Coalition, handling of tax legislation. A spokesperson for Mr Chalmers recently told Sky News the primary legislation makes it "clear that all federal politicians … will be subject to the measure'. "This is the case regardless of when they entered into parliament and whether have a defined benefit interest or not.' The superannuation tax, which the government claims will affect fewer than 0.5 per cent of superannuants initially, has been projected to raise $40 billion over a decade. However, critics warn that the unindexed $3 million threshold will subject increasing numbers of Australians to the tax over time. AMP Deputy Chief Economist Diana Mousina conducted modelling that showed the average 22-year-old will be hit by the tax by the time they retire. CPA Australia's Superannuation Lead, Richard Webb, called on policymakers to ensure the policy will be indexed to inflation. 'Bracket creep is already having a silent eroding effect on personal finances,' Mr Webb said in a statement. 'Allowing this further erosion of superannuation savings is contrary to the fundamental principles of our tax system.'

Andrew Bragg says Coalition will support WFH, backing ‘agency' for workers
A Liberal frontbencher has backflipped on working from home arrangements, saying they 'could be productive' and vowing the Coalition's support for 'individual liberty' and the 'agency' of workers. The opposition was forced mid-election campaign to dump its plagued policy to force public servants back to the office after a savage backlash. Speaking to 3AW on Tuesday, Coalition productivity and deregulation spokesman Andrew Bragg spruiked the benefits of hybrid working, saying it was a position he also held 'during the campaign'. He also referenced a recent Productivity Commission report which said a mix of working from home and office arrangements helped increase productivity and job satisfaction. 'In fact, most of the evidence comes down to support the proposition that working from home on a hybrid basis actually is good for people, good for the economy,' he said. 'As I say, we're into individual agency, we want to help families, we want to help individuals, and this is, in many cases, the best outcome for people.' Senator Bragg said there were benefits to the hybrid mode. 'There's a big benefit in getting around the water-cooler and having a debate or a discussion about some challenges the business is trying to solve, but when people want to do some deep work, deep thinking, deep reading, often that is better done at home, not in an open plan office,' he said. Speaking about his other portfolio overseeing housing and homelessness, Senator Bragg also said the government should prioritise repurposing office building into housing. 'We have a massive housing problem under this government. And, I would say that where a building can be repurposed into housing, that should be a top priority,' he said. According to the Property Council of Australia, vacancy rates across the CBD have remained steady between 13.6 to 13.7 per cent over the six months to January 2025. Non-CBD office vacancy rate stayed at 17.2 per cent.

Uncertainty about Trump's tariffs has contributed to weaker outlook for Australia's economy, RBA official says
Australia's economy will experience weaker growth, lower inflation and a slightly weaker labour market as a consequence of US President Donald Trump's tariffs, an RBA official says. Sarah Hunter, an assistant governor at the Reserve Bank, said the uncertainty caused by Mr Trump's tariffs — with their constantly shifting rules and levels — was also making it harder to forecast where the global economy was heading. She said Australia's economy, at this point, probably would not suffer a material direct negative impact from the tariffs. But the uncertainty sparked by the tariffs would hurt Australia, and our economy would be hit in other indirect ways, she said. She said that explained why the RBA revised its official forecasts recently to anticipate weaker growth, lower inflation and a slightly higher unemployment rate over the next 12 months. "Global uncertainty may weigh substantially on domestic activity if uncertainty remains elevated," she warned. She said the RBA Board's decision to cut interest rates last month was also informed by this analysis of the problems that flowed from heightened uncertainty in the global economy. She made her comments in a speech to the Economic Society of Australia Queensland on Tuesday afternoon. Ms Hunter said uncertainty was "a bit of a slippery concept" and there were lots of ways to try to measure it. She said one way — the economic policy uncertainty index (EPU) — was based on the number of news articles that mentioned policy uncertainty. Another way — the volatility index (VIX) — was a measure that captured how uncertain financial markets were about near-term equity prices. But she said both of those indices saw a sharp rise in uncertainty after Donald Trump's tariff announcement in April, although the VIX has declined in recent weeks. See the graph below. And she said there was "ample evidence" that higher uncertainty could lead to declines in investment, output and employment and Australia was not immune from that dynamic. "Typically, higher uncertainty leads firms to delay decisions that are costly to reverse, like investment and hiring," she said. "This makes sense intuitively because there is value in waiting to see how things are playing out before making a decision that is (at least partially) non-reversible. "Some studies find higher uncertainty also has a measurable impact on household consumption, but this is typically more modest. "Research suggests that the negative impacts of higher policy uncertainty — including trade policy — are largest for businesses, as they typically pull back on investment," she said. She said that if we saw businesses and households responding as they had in the past, then the current level of uncertainty "will weigh materially on global activity". "But the unpredictability and unprecedented nature of the current situation makes it hard to be precise on the size of the impact," she warned. She said at this stage, the RBA's "baseline scenario" for its official forecasts assumed that the prevailing level of global uncertainty would have a "relatively modest drag" on Australia's economy. But she said if a global trade war erupted, we could see a "substantial pull-back in activity" in Australia. Overall, Ms Hunter said the RBA would monitor carefully how things unfolded in coming months. She said the RBA's economists would be watching "key transmission channels" through which the United States' proposed trade tariffs would impact Australia's economy, in their different ways. She said those channels included: And she emphasised how difficult it had become to produce forecasts of economic activity in such a febrile environment. "How will the current unpredictable and uncertain global environment transmit through to the Australian economy?" she asked. "The short answer is, we can't be completely sure. "The broad-based nature of the proposed US tariffs, retaliation from major partners and other policy shifts all have the potential to structurally alter the world economy. "[Our] baseline forecast is for recent global developments to contribute to slower economic growth in Australia and a slightly weaker labour market. "We also anticipate that, overall, the price of tradable goods will be slightly dampened. "Together, these two outcomes mean that inflation is forecast to be a little lower than at the February Statement on Monetary Policy, settling around the midpoint of the 2-3 per cent target range. "This forecast is based on several judgments and assumptions about the potency of the transmission channels I have discussed today," she said.
