News.com.au2 days ago

Large SUVs and four-wheel-drives represent some of the most popular cars in Australia.
But you shouldn't expect a great end of financial year deals on the most popular models – cars like the Toyota Prado and Ford Ranger. Instead, the best deals are found in cars that need a sales boost.
Shop around and you can find are big savings on big cars – both in large SUV and four-wheel-drive form.
LARGE SUVS
Jeep Grand Cherokee: Jeep's five-seat family wagon is available from $62,000 drive-away, an outrageous discount of about $17,000. The brand initially misjudged prices for its big American contender, but has sharpened its pencil until June 30.
LDV D90: 2023-place examples of the seven-seat LDV D90 SUV are on sale from $34,990 drive-away in basic two-wheel-drive form, a discount of about $13,000.
Hyundai Palisade: In run-out mode ahead of a new model debuting soon, the Hyundai Palisade is available with a $3000 run-out bonus or $5000 contribution toward vehicles financed through Hyundai.
GWM Tank 500: Hybrid versions of the GWM Tank 500 are available from $63,490 drive-away, a $2000 discount.
Mazda CX-90: Roughly $5000 cheaper than its usual price, Mazda's CX-90 is available for a little over $75,000 drive-away.
Mitsubishi Pajero Sport: Drive-away prices and $3000 gift cards make the Mitsubishi Pajero Sport an attractive proposition.
Chery Tiggo 8: This affordable seven-seater normally costs $41,990 drive-away, but is currently on sale for $38,990 drive-away, a $3000 discount.

Rare price drop on luxe item you'd never consider purchasing

If you've been carefully curating your beauty wishlist, while also watching your hard-earned savings disappear each week trying to keep up with the cost of living (or even just the price of a decent coffee or strawberry matcha), now is the time to clear your schedule. End of financial year (EOFY) sales are here, and they're bigger than ever. Retailers are dropping huge discounts to make way for new stock in the financial year, which, long story short, means your dream serum or that mascara you've been eyeing off for months is suddenly within reach. One of the big events is Myer 's 20 per cent off beauty sale this weekend, offering amazing price reductions on iconic products for Myer One members both in-store and online. They're the kinds of items that have earned cult status over the years, seen on the runway, in backstage kits, and in the routines of women across the world, and thanks to their viral status, they're constantly selling out. So, if any of these products have been sitting in your haphazardly curated Notes app 'To Buy' list, it's time to get them out of digital purgatory and into your shopping cart this Saturday and Sunday. 'Smart splurging' Myer chief merchandise officer Belinda Slifkas urges shoppers to get in quick to avoid disappointment. 'Many of the products featured in this sale are among our fastest movers,' Ms Slifkas told 'They regularly sell out, especially during high-traffic sale periods. We often see certain shades or sizes become unavailable within the first couple of days. These products tend to have a strong repeat customer base, which contributes to their consistent popularity. 'That's why we always recommend shopping early in the sale to secure your favourites – especially when it comes to high-demand hero products.' She said the sale is a great opportunity for consumers to partake in what is known as 'smart splurging'. 'This is a growing trend, where customers use sales to invest in higher-end beauty with long-term value,' she said. 'We also notice a spike in gift purchases during these times, with many taking advantage of the discounts to spoil loved ones – or themselves – with premium products they may not usually purchase at full price.' To help you decide what to add to your cart, let's find out exactly what will be on sale and whether or not it's worth the hype. Clarins Double Serum 50mL, $194 to $155.20 Clarins Double Serum has secured its status as a skincare icon. Whether you've spotted it on your favourite influencer's shelf or heard about it from a friend, this powerhouse of a serum is renowned for a reason. It's often touted as a 'complete age-defying concentrate' and promises to literally 'change your skin's future' using 95 per cent naturally sourced ingredients and 22 plant extracts. Its dual formula claims to help your skin combat all those nasty free radicals that can cause ageing, dehydration, and wrinkles, leaving it looking smoother, brighter, and all-round healthier. One bottle is sold every four seconds worldwide, which amounts to a staggering 7.9 million units a year, so it's safe to say people think it lives up to its hefty claims. And with over 450 awards under its belt, it's clear that the beauty pros think so too. Estée Lauder's Advanced Night Repair Serum 50mL, $199 to $159.20 Speaking of icons, Estée Lauder's Advanced Night Repair Serum is a night-time staple for a reason. About 22 bottles are sold every minute worldwide, totalling over 11.5 million a year. If you've been curious about what makes this little bottle so legendary, now's the perfect time to incorporate it into your routine and give the $199 price tag a miss. It's packed with hyaluronic acid and Chronolux Power Signal Technology, which is a fancy way to say it helps repair and strengthen the skin's moisture barrier while you sleep. Like the Clarins Double Serum, it too is designed to reduce the look of fine lines and wrinkles, with many users waking up to noticeably smoother, more even-toned skin. Dermatologists often recommend it for its gentle yet effective formula, making it suitable for nearly any skin type. Clinique's Dramatically Different Moisturising Lotion+™ 125mL, $65 to $52 When it comes to skincare and makeup that stands the test of time, Clinique is a name that often comes up. Their Dramatically Different Moisturising Lotion+™ launched in 1968 and is a classic your mum probably used. You might now too, because you began stealing it out of her drawer when you were a kid and then got hooked on its hydrating goodness. The lightweight, fragrance-free moisturiser is designed to strengthen the skin's moisture barrier and improve resilience against environmental stressors. It's especially popular among those with sensitive or combination skin due to its gentle, non-irritating ingredients. According to the brand, one bottle is sold every 3.6 seconds worldwide, which is about 8.8 million bottles a year. And let's not forget the Almost Lipstick in Black Honey, which has found a whole new audience thanks to TikTok. Seven units are now sold every minute globally, or over 3.6 million a year. It's a sheer, buildable formula that adapts to your natural lip colour for a universally flattering look that provides just enough tint to elevate your lips without feeling heavy or sticky. If you've been anywhere remotely online in the last few years, you will have stumbled across Benefit on one of your many feeds. But you might be surprised to learn the brand has actually been around since 1976 and has long been a leader in the prestige mascara market. Its mascaras are known for their volumising and lengthening formulas, often featuring unique brush shapes that make application a breeze and give a 'falsie-like' effect without clumps or smudging. Another of the brand's beloved products, Benetint, has also become a classic in its own right. This iconic rose-tinted lip and cheek stain was originally created for an exotic dancer in the 70s and has since achieved cult-fave status, with one selling every 11 seconds worldwide, or over three million a year. Normally retailing for $55, it's the kind of product that's worth every penny.

ASX slides as Iran-Israel tensions send oil prices higher

The Australian sharemarket fell slightly during Friday's trading as fears of the fallout between Israel and Iran resulted in a broad sell-off on the market and investors rush to safe havens including gold. The benchmark ASX200 index closed down 17.70 points or 0.21 per cent to finish the week at 8,547.40. The broader All Ordinaries also traded lower falling 25.40 points or 0.29 per cent to 8,770.60. The Australian dollar slipped 0.85 per cent and is now buying 64.72 US cents. On a day dominated by geopolitical tensions, the market had a spike in volatility with strong gains in the energy, utilities and gold miners offset by falls in information technology, healthcare and consumer discretionary stocks. Overall, just three of the 11 sectors gained during Friday's trading. One of the bright spots was the energy sector as the price of crude oil jumped to nearly $US75 a barrel on the back of political tensions between Israel and Iran which helped drive Australia's energy stocks higher. Israel has said the preâ€'emptive attacks were aimed at eliminating Iran's nuclear program and ballistic missile capabilities, but the fears in the market are based on what Iran will do as a retaliation to these strikes. If it hits neighbouring oilfields or blocks the Strait of Hormuz, which controls 20 per cent of the world's oil consumption, the price of the commodity could skyrocket. Woodside Energy shares soared 7.4 per cent to $25.21, Santos traded higher gaining 3.73 per cent to $6.96 and Beach Energy gained 2.77 per cent to $1.30. There was also a flight to safety, with the price of gold jumping back to $US3,400 an ounce. This helped drive Northern Star up 5.1 per cent to $22.53 as well as Evolution Mining, which rose 5.5 per cent to $9.20. It was also a mixed day for the major banks. Commonwealth Bank slipped 0.65 per cent to $179.35, NAB fell 0.31 per cent to $38.87 and ANZ dropped 0.54 per cent to $29.63. Westpac was the outlier eking out a tiny gain of 0.03 per cent to $33.36. Despite the strong moves on the market, AMP chief economist Shane Oliver urged a sense of caution. 'Just bear in mind that tensions regularly flare up in the Middle East, escalate for a while and then settle back down again so there is a danger in getting too negative on it and the key for investors is to look for the opportunities that the latest conflict may throw up,' he wrote in an economic note. Even with the falls, Dr Oliver said the Australia market still finished in the green. 'Despite falling on Friday after Israel's attack, Australian shares bucked the global trend and are on track for a gain of around 0.3 per cent for the week after having hit a record high midweek with the gains led by energy, utility property and consumer stocks,' he said. In corporate news, shares in Cettire continued its falls, dropping another 20.3 per cent to $0.26 a share, after slumping 31 per cent during Thursday's trading. The fall in the online luxury retailer comes after it issued a second profit downgrade in the last few months. Accent group also had a day to forget, with shares dropping 21 per cent to a year low of $1.43 after annoying a disappointing post Christmas trading period. The Platypus and HypeDC owner said sales for the 23 weeks until June 8 are down 1 per cent and is now expecting an EBIT of between $108m to $11m for the financial year.

WA government to spend $4 million on new driver licensing centre to reduce significant wait times

It's hoped the construction of a new driver's licensing centre in Perth's south-east can make a dent in the significant wait times for people obtaining their permits across the city. The state government will spend $4 million on a new centre to service growing demand in the Armadale and Byford areas as part of an election commitment, but it is yet to determine the exact location. Locals must currently travel 30 to 40 minutes to access licensing services at centres in Cannington or Success. Driving services in WA have come under fire in recent years, following reports of participants having to wait months to sit a driving test. The Department of Transport was also forced to tighten security around test booking systems, following reports of people bulk booking and reselling test appointments. Assistant Transport Minister Jessica Stojkovski said progress had been made to address the concerns. 'One of the issues that we were finding were essentially bots were going on and booking up a lot of the driver assessment time slots,' she said. 'There's been a lot work done by the Department of Transport to stop that practice. 'We have actually seen really good availability around the metro area and into the regions for those driver assessments.' The Department of Transport's Chad Simeons agreed, saying it was possible to find test appointments within a week of booking. 'We've opened the Joondalup Centre which is a driver assessment centre, so that's helped a lot,' he said. 'We've put on new driver assessors as well, and in fact if I was to log on now and try and get a practical driving assessment, I can get one within a week, permitted I want to travel anywhere in the metropolitan area.' It's in addition to extended trading hours at the Cannington, Mirrabooka and City West centres, which will be open from 7.15am to 5.30pm on weekdays during an eight-week trial. No additional staff will be employed to accommodate the two-hour extension, but about 40 new positions have been created to assist with the increase in service demand. The same three centres last year completed a six-day trading trial with more than 12,800 people making use of the weekend hours. Mr Simeons said measures to relieve pressure on the industry have reduced average customer wait times from 26 minutes to 19 minutes in the past 12 months. Ms Stojkovski said an increase in interstate migration had contributed to the boom in demand. 'When somebody comes here from interstate they do actually need to transfer over their driver's licence,' she said. She said the state government would consider implementing extended hours elsewhere in WA as part of the trial evaluation. A construction or project completion date has yet to be set for the new licensing centre.
