Queensland's cyclone-proof buildings survive earthquakes, but tremors can bring insurance challenges
The latest earthquake to hit Queensland might not have done any serious damage, but tremors can still cause headaches for home owners. Windows shook across south-east Queensland on Saturday morning as a magnitude-5.6 earthquake struck inland from the Sunshine Coast. Geoscience Australia said the epicentre was about 80 kilometres west of Noosa and 250 kilometres north of Brisbane. It was the largest onshore earthquake in Queensland in half a century, and the biggest to hit the state at all since a 5.8-magnitude earthquake off the coast of Bowen in 2016. Magnitude scales are used to describe the impact of earthquakes. Here's what those scales are and the potential impact or damage each has: Queensland sits toward the bottom of Australian states in terms of earthquake activity. University of Queensland seismologist Dion Weatherley said Australia gets one or two magnitude-5 quakes per year on average, with one every five to 10 years in Queensland. He said the fault responsible for earthquakes felt in Queensland — the line where tectonic plates meet — could potentially generate up to a magnitude-7 quake. The scale of geological time measurement and the relative youth of geosciences means experts are unsure when such an earthquake could hit. "[Magnitude-7s] have a return period of around 25,000 years by estimated standards, so unfortunately we can't say with any certainty," Dr Weatherley said. He said there are no signs earthquake activity is getting more severe. "There's no indication that there's been any major changes in the tectonic plate motions in the past 10 years, 100 years, or even a million years that would suggest that earthquakes should be occurring at a higher rate," he said. Despite the state's relative lack of earthquake experience, Dr Weatherley said Queensland's infrastructure is by nature well-suited to tremors. "We don't design our buildings for earthquakes, but the reality is that engineers are not overly concerned about the structural integrity of our bridges and overpasses and our critical buildings and infrastructure, particularly when it comes to coastal areas further north," he said. Geoscience Australia said it hasn't detected aftershocks from the weekend's earthquake, but it has prompted the organisation to install new "seismic rapid deployment kits" near the Sunshine Coast. When in place, the sensors will measure any potential future aftershocks and give geologists more information about seismic activity in Queensland. Director of extreme weather response at the Insurance Council of Australia, Liam Walter, said earthquake damage wasn't a major priority in Australian insurance. "Earthquake is not a common loss type for Australia," Mr Walter said. "There's not the sort of catastrophic building demolitions that we see in other places, but it is an event that causes damage from time to time." Most domestic private home insurance covers damage to a property by earthquake, Mr Walter said, but this does not mean claims will be approved. Some residents in Muswellbrook in the Upper Hunter in New South Wales struggled to have their claims paid out after a series of earthquakes up to magnitude-4.7 shook the region last year. Insurance companies pointed to "pre-existing" damage as the reason for declining claims. Mr Walter said after an earthquake, people will often do an inventory of their home while in a "hypervigilant" state. "What we tend to find is … people will notice all sorts of cracks and movement and things around the house that they might not have noticed before," he said. "So it's actually quite a sensible thing to do to take regular inventory of your home, the building and your contents, if for no other reason than to make sure you have the right cover. "If you've got a record there … maybe you've taken some photos along the way as well, that could be super helpful when it comes to claim time to demonstrate the condition."

Texas Democrats return to state capitol after redistricting furore
Texas Democrats say they will return to the state's legislature, ending a two-week stand-off over the proposed gerrymandering of its seats in the US House of Representatives that could favour US President Donald Trump and Republicans. Their return comes only after Democrats in California launched a counter-effort to redraw their own congressional districts to disadvantage Republicans in the upcoming 2026 midterm elections. Dozens of Texas House Democrats left the state more than two weeks ago to deny their Republican-majority colleagues the attendance necessary to vote on redrawn maps intended to elect five more Texas Republicans to the US lower house. They declared victory after Republicans adjourned that first special session, and Democrats around rallied in opposition to the Trump-led gerrymandering effort. Their decision to return will allow the Republican-run legislature to radically redraw the state's seats in the US lower house, but that will now be offset by tit-for-tat changes in California. The furore around redistricting has pitted the nation's two most populous states against each other. In a statement, Texas Democrats pointed specifically to California's release of proposed maps intended to increase Democrats' US House advantage by five seats, effectively neutralising any Republican gains in Texas. "We killed the corrupt special session, withstood unprecedented surveillance and intimidation, and rallied Democrats nationwide to join this existential fight for fair representation — reshaping the entire 2026 landscape," Texas House of Representatives minority leader Gene Wu said in a statement. Mr Trump has pressured other Republican-run states to consider redistricting, while Democratic governors in multiple states have indicated they would follow California's lead in response. Democratic California Governor Gavin Newsom said that his state would hold a special referendum on November 4 to redraw his state's districts. The president wants to shore up Republicans' narrow House majority and avoid a repeat of the 2018 midterms during his first presidency, when Democrats regained House control and used their majority to stymie his agenda and twice impeach him. On a national level, the partisan makeup of existing district lines puts Democrats within three seats of a majority. Of the 435 total House seats, only several dozen districts are competitive. That means even slight changes in a few states could affect which party wins control. Texas Governor Greg Abbott jumped to the president's aid, adding redistricting to the agenda of an initial special session agenda that included a number of issues, but most notably a package of bills responding to devastating floods that killed more than 130 people earlier this summer. Mr Abbott has blamed Democrats' absence for delaying action on those measures. Democrats have answered that Mr Abbott's capitulation to Mr Trump was responsible for the delay because he insisted on effectively linking the hyper-partisan matter to the nonpartisan flood relief. It is unusual for redistricting to take place in the middle of the decade. In many US states, the drawing of House seats typically occurs once at the beginning of each decade to coincide with the census. Many states, including Texas, give legislators the power to draw maps. California is among those that empower independent commissions with the task. The Texas House is scheduled to convene Monday local time. AP

With no-confidence vote set to fail, Tasmanian Labor eyeing yet another term in opposition
Following June's no-confidence motion, Premier Jeremy Rockliff stared down Labor leader Dean Winter. In the Tasmanian parliament, Mr Rockliff stood up, saying "you might get rid of me, mate, but I tell you what, they are coming for you as well". "Because you will always be known as a wrecker". Less than three months on, Mr Rockliff has got a new "mandate" (if you call 40 per cent of the vote, and 14 out of 35 seats a mandate) and some clear air to get on with governing. You could also argue, Mr Rockliff is kicking with the breeze for the first time in a while. He has curried favour with the crossbench by outmanoeuvring Labor and offering some genuine policy concessions. Off the back of a disciplined campaign, the Liberals recorded a 3 per cent swing towards them at the July 19 election — few predicted that result at the beginning of the campaign. That result, and the premier's huge personal vote, gives the Liberals an air of legitimacy. The election has also delivered some fresh blood to the front bench — with former federal MPs Bridget Archer and Gavin Pearce stepping straight into high-profile ministerial positions. Tasmanians are sick of politics and just want a government that tastes like real government. But just like a year ago, there's a question of how long it can last. Major policy concessions were made to keep power. Many in the Liberals' own base will be put offside by backflips on salmon, greyhound racing, and native forestry. Salmon Tasmania head Dr John Whittington called the premier's word "worthless", while greyhound trainer Robyn Johnson said her industry has been made a "scapegoat" so the Liberals could stay in power. Fierce opposition to those moves is a certainty. Then there are the battles inside parliament — where Mr Rockliff will be reliant on a crossbench that just voted to say they had no confidence in him. A year ago, the Liberals also had 14 seats, but could count on the three votes of the Jacquie Lambie Network on most issues, thanks to the friendly deal they'd signed. This time around, the crossbench has a bit more mettle to it. Independent Peter George enters with a high profile and a strong following — he's wasted no time in extracting major policy shifts on the salmon industry. That move, and a planned end to greyhound racing, have already strained the party's relationship with incoming MP Carlo di Falco of the Shooters, Fishers and Farmers party. While the Greens and independent Kristie Johnston have shied away from backing Labor, they've put the Rockliff government on notice. "Every day in this new minority parliament will be a day where Jeremy Rockliff will have to collaborate and listen," said Greens Leader Rosalie Woodruff, making clear she didn't have confidence in Mr Rockliff either. Despite the premier's defence that the last parliament was working well, the proof is in the pudding — it fell apart at the age toddlers are still learning to walk. There's goodwill to make this parliament last the distance, but what happens if a key commitment is broken? The cashless gaming card was ditched in the face of industry opposition. An unfavourable report by Dr Nicholas Gruen was reason good enough to cast aside the Macquarie Point stadium's planning process. If the salmon review's recommendations aren't taken seriously, or greyhound racing is given a reprieve — that would seriously strain parliamentary support for the Liberals. The man kicking himself most may be Dean Winter. Labor will now embark on its fifth consecutive post-election soul search — and Mr Winter's leadership is up in the air. Three months ago, the government was reeling from criticism — a budget filled with red ink, trying to ram an unpopular stadium through parliament with unpopular fast-track legislation, and attempting to find a home for a 130-metre-long Finnish-built Spirit of Tasmania ferry. Opinion polling had also shown Labor with a lead — something that hadn't happened for a year. In a parallel world where Labor held off on its no-confidence motion for another year or two, an election win isn't unimaginable. Taking the state to an election just over a year after the last one, and failing to secure government, could now define Dean Winter's time as leader. We'll never know if the "wrecker" label soiled Dean Winter's popularity in the election. But a promise not to compromise on his values and policy, after it has stood in the way of him being able to form government, might. As Jeremy Rockliff has offered to meet the crossbench in the middle on salmon and greyhounds, Mr Winter's been firm on his approach. He says putting forward a framework for collaboration — rather than trading away policy was the key to success. Or put more simply - Jeremy Rockliff's been willing to do whatever it takes to stay in power, while Dean Winter hasn't. Sometimes politics is about how well you can sell the backflip. It's clear that the baggage of 2010's partnership with the Greens still haunts Tasmanian Labor. Working with the Greens in any fashion would have drawn criticism from across the aisle and from within their own base. However, Labor's now forgoing the opportunity to be part of a collaboative government, and potentially convince some people that it can work. Now, the shoe is on the other foot, and they'll get to see if that's politically advantageous. There's also a new Spirit vessel sailing into Tasmania this week without a place to dock. The budget's getting worse, with a new public sector bargaining agreement due. Somebody is going to have to work out how to start a state-owned insurance company. Labor will have opportunities, but will have to do things differently to seize power. In the meantime, all that backbone can help them sit even more comfortably on the opposition benches.
