Sussan Ley pushes for new collaborative policy process in bid to avoid Peter Dutton-style party control
Sussan Ley will ask Coalition MPs to endorse a new policy development process designed to empower backbenchers and include more diverse voices, part of efforts to avoid repeating the political overreach which occurred during Peter Dutton's leadership. At a meeting of the joint Coalition party room in Canberra on Friday, the opposition leader will outline a bottom-up approach for new policy proposals. Details of the plan were circulated to MPs on Thursday night, after a meeting of the shadow ministry at Parliament House. Liberal sources said Ley wanted consultative design work for ideas to be led by shadow ministers and specialist working groups before the 2028 federal election. Sign up for Guardian Australia's breaking news email The new process will allow backbench policy committees more say in the opposition's pitch to voters, ending idea bottlenecks and taking advantage of MPs' expertise and community connections from outside politics. The scale of the Coalition's loss on 3 May is expected to be discussed at Friday's meeting, before a formal review led by Howard government minister Nick Minchin and former New South Wales state minister Pru Goward. Before the election, some Liberals complained about policy ideas being ignored by Dutton and the opposition leadership team, with backbench committees being asked to rubber stamp ideas immediately before they were announced. Ley has told MPs she wants a more strategic approach, based on expert advice and better external engagement. In a speech to the National Press Club this week, she announced the first working group, which will consider energy and emissions reductions policies. Led by shadow minister Dan Tehan, it will consider Dutton's nuclear power plan amid fierce internal debate about net zero by 2050 policies. 'Our policy development process will be iterative and continuous,' Ley said on Wednesday. 'It will evolve throughout the term in response to internal and external feedback, emerging issues, and ongoing engagement with the community.' Her promise to be a 'zealot' on recruiting more women to Liberal party ranks is being debated internally but frontbencher Angus Taylor on Thursday talked down any move to introduce gender quotas. Sign up to Breaking News Australia Get the most important news as it breaks after newsletter promotion 'It's not something that I think is necessary in order to get the outcome,' Taylor told Sky News. 'I think attracting, mentoring, retaining great people and great women in the party is incredibly important work for absolutely everybody, for all leaders. And I take that very seriously.' Nationals leader David Littleproud used the opening of the shadow ministry meeting to energise dispirited colleagues. 'You can do one of two things: you can get in the foetal position, give up, or you can come out swinging,' he said. 'Let's come out swinging. Let's hold this government to account, and let's show Australians that we are here for them and we have the solutions for them.' The minister for women, Katy Gallagher, warned the Coalition needed to do more than identify its failures on gender representation. Labor introduced quotas for female representation in the mid-1990s. 'It's actually the next step that matters, which is: what are you going to do about it? 'I think we'll just have to wait and see whether the rhetoric is actually matched by action,' Gallagher said.

Inside the jaw-dropping Aussie apartment that just sold for national record of $141million
A new benchmark has been set for Australia's most expensive home, with a stunning Sydney Harbour penthouse fetching for an eyewatering $141.55 million. Yan Zhang on Thursday settled on the property, consisting of the top three floors of Lendlease's One Sydney Harbour development in Barangaroo. Purchased off-the-plan in 2019, the property combines a two-storey penthouse and a sub-penthouse below for friends and family. The deal was widely publicised at the time but the buyer had remained a secret until Sydney Morning Herald revealed Mr Zhang was the mystery buyer. It overtakes the estimated $130-million-plus sale of a Toorak mansion earlier this year as Australia's most expensive residential purchase. The combined Barangaroo penthouses cover more than 1600sqm and include nine bedrooms, a rooftop swimming pool, spa, gymnasium and is complete with eight-metre-high ceilings. Kylie Rampa, Lendlease's property chief executive previously described the jaw-dropping purchase as a landmark moment in Australian property sales. 'The sale of the penthouse at One Sydney Harbour is a paradigm shift for the Australian property market with an apartment claiming the title of Australia's most valuable residential property for the first time, a title historically reserved for significant houses,' Ms Rampa said. 'The record-breaking penthouse sale is confirmation that the Barangaroo South precinct is a world-leading location where people aspire to live, work and visit.' Valued at more than $100,000 per square metre, the property crowns the 72-floor building, the tallest of three in the One Sydney Harbour development. The three towers were designed by Pritzker-prize winning Italian architect Renzo Piano whose other works include The Shard in London and the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris. The One Sydney Harbour project was developed by Lendlease as part of a wider urban renewal project in Barangaroo alongside the Crown Sydney and the International Towers Sydney. All three towers have now been completed, with most buyers having settled and moved in to the development. Lendlease told the Australian Financial Review last year 99 per cent of the pre-sold apartments across the three towers had already settled. The three-storey mega penthouse purchased by Mr Zhang more than tripled the next most valuable purchase in the Barangaroo development. Prolific property investor Qing Zhong paid a reported $38.95million for an entire storey of the same tower last year, combining three apartments. Surgeon Dr Franklin Yee and his wife Gloria also purchased a unit above Mr Zhong's floor-wide purchase for $21million, according to the Sydney Morning Herald. It also exceeded the roughly $80million purchase of a two-storey, six-bedroom penthouse in the neighbouring Crown Tower earlier this month. That penthouse was rumoured by Domain to have been nabbed by James Packer's lieutenant, accountant Lawrence Myers and his wife Sylvia. If confirmed, Myers will be in good company with Packer himself having purchased a two-storey apartment in the same building for $72.23million a few years earlier in 2021.

WhatsApp users cry ‘I DON'T want this' as new feature is added that goes into private chats
WHATSAPP users have blasted a new in-app feature which uses private data from chats - claiming the tool is unnecessary and unreliable. The Meta-owned app is rolling out a new tool that can whip up a rundown of missed messages with AI - saving users from scrolling through texts. 2 But many have slammed the feature, with some saying that no one had asked for it, and others claiming its analysis of chats would not be accurate. The feature uses Meta AI to scan chats and spit out a bullet point summary of all unread messages. Footage showing the feature in action showed how the tool is activated by tapping the button that normally lets you go through all your unread messages. But instead of just showing the texts, the app generates a short summary of the key points. It is designed to help people quickly catch up on busy group chats or missed conversations. The feature uses Meta's Private Processing technology. According to the tech giant, neither Meta nor any third parties can will be able to see the messages analysed by the AI summary. The summaries are also kept private within the chat, meaning no one else in the group can see them. The AI message summaries are optional and turned off by default. So the feature will not run automatically unless users switch them on manually. WhatsApp is closing down on three mobile devices in hours with users blocked from sending and receiving messages And for users that do not want anyone in a group using summaries at all, WhatsApp includes an Advanced Privacy setting to block it. Social media users raged online, expressing concern over how accurate these summaries would be. One WhatsApp user said: "Who is asking for this?" Another raged: "I've really got to get my family members onto Signal." Some seemed more hopeful for the addition, with one user saying: "It is opt-in and it is a legitimately useful feature for busy group chats." Addressing data concerns, the user added: "Sure, you could've copy-pasted all the messages into an LLM manually and let it summarize everything, Meta simply makes it easier." It comes after Apple's own AI recaps were called out for being inaccurate on several occasions. Meta has been piling AI tools into WhatsApp over the past year. The new features include the ability to ask Meta AI questions straight from a chat. Another recent update allowed users to generate images in real-time using AI. And some users have complained that they have been unable to get rid of a new Meta AI button in the bottom-right corner of the app. Others have slammed the app for bringing ads to the platform - despite its founders previously pledging that they would never want to see this. Meta insists its Private Processing tech creates a "secure cloud environment" for using AI tools - which will not compromise privacy. The firm will not be able to see users' messages or their AI summaries, they said. The AI message summary feature is rolling out in the US and only available in English. But the company said it planned to come to more countries - including the UK - and in different languages later this year. 2
