Best EOFY 2025 luxury car sales in Australia
Promotions can be a sensitive subject for prestige brands keen to protect resale values - and their relationship with existing customers - by playing it cool during end of financial year deals.
Don't expect brands to make a huge song and dance about slashing thousands from desirable models - discounts are sometimes done quietly, almost on an individual basis.
But you can find advertised promotions on models with great inclusions, accessories, service packages and more.
LUXURY CARS
Alfa Romeo: The glamorous Alfa Romeo Stelvio Ti can be yours for $69,990 drive-away - about $12,000 off - while the Giulia sedan is $59,990 drive-away (save about $15,000).

Mercedes-Benz: The compact Mercedes-Benz GLA SUV is available in a City Edition that delivers extras for about $6000 less than the price of regular models, while the larger GLE Night Edition has black 22-inch wheels and black exterior trim for $139,900 drive-away.

Bayswater Power Station turns 40 as ageing infrastructure drives up energy bills
It has been 40 years since Bayswater Power Station near Muswellbrook first roared to life. At its peak, Bayswater was the largest energy supplier to the New South Wales grid. This week, past and present employees gathered to celebrate the past 40 years while staring down a future beyond coal-fired power. Bayswater will not make it to 50, with the site scheduled to power down in 2033. AGL's transformation lead Shaun Green said it could be daunting looking towards an unknown future. "If you go back a decade, we had no idea that it would look like this," he said. But he remained optimistic about the industry's future. "It is very exciting what we've got planned with our future and the transition out of coal," Mr Green said. Chris D'Hotman started at Bayswater as a mechanical engineer and is now the head of generation and revenue. He said, despite the move away from coal-fired power, the staff had immense pride in their work. "We do it because we know what we're doing is powering the economy," Mr D'Hotman said. As the 2033 closure date looms, maintenance costs continue to rise and planned and unplanned outages increase at Bayswater. It is part of a wider trend that contributes to rising power bills. AGL will spend more than $130 million and switch off one of four units for planned maintenance at Bayswater this September, which it does on a four-year cycle. Bayswater-Liddell general manager, Len McLachlan, said costs inevitably increased as infrastructure aged. "Most of the equipment was built [in the 1980s] and mainly stays the same … so we do need to fine-tune it," he said. "Definitely, ageing plants can contribute to [higher prices], but I think it's more so just the fact that the energy industry is changing so much. A report from Reliability Watch using data supplied by power station operators to the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) revealed how unreliable the power station was. One of Bayswater's four units was completely offline from October 1, 2024, until February 19, 2025. Meanwhile, there were nine other outages across the site's other three units between October and March. The Australian Energy Regulator has warned NSW customers they are in for a hefty increase to their power bills of between 7.9 to 9.7 per cent from July 1. AEMO has linked increasing outages at ageing coal-fired power stations in the final quarter of 2024 to record-high wholesale prices. Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis lead Australian electricity analyst Johanna Bowyer said that when power stations went offline for repairs and maintenance, more expensive forms of power, such as gas, were used to fill the gaps. She said this pushed up wholesale electricity prices. Bayswater has provided about 20 per cent of NSW's electricity over the past four decades. But at Bayswater's age, Ms Bowyer said its days were numbered. "We've seen coal generators over the age of 40 years decline to have an average availability of 65 per cent, so only 65 per cent of their capacity available to market," she said. With coal-fired power stations set to close, renewable projects have been emerging to take their place, including plans for a solar panel manufacturing site at nearby Liddell Power Station. Meanwhile, AGL is also pushing forward with its Hunter Energy Hub, which includes solar and wind projects as well as battery storage. Chris D'Hotman said he "often considers" if he will need to change careers by moving into the renewable industry. "Renewables are expanding at such a rapid rate," he said. "It's something that we in the coal-fired sector ought to know more about."

Farmers hit by drought and floods call on Australians to shop local and lend a hand
Australians are being urged to shop local and lend a hand to support farmers hit hard this past year by severe drought and floods. Many have been left wondering how they can help farmers after seeing the devastating impact of drought in South Australia and Victoria and flooding in Queensland and New South Wales. Shopping local is one way, but there are also opportunities for everyday Australians to roll up their sleeves to work on farms, or even offer farmers a holiday. Australian Made chief executive Ben Lazzaro said buying local generated direct income and jobs, particularly in regional areas. "We should be looking for Aussie products and produce 365 days a year," Mr Lazzaro said. While parts of SA and Victoria have recently received some rain, it is not enough to break the prolonged drought and farms could take years to recover. Buy Local Buy SA marketing manager Penny Reidy encouraged shoppers to buy SA-grown citrus, which had been impacted by an extraordinarily hot, dry summer. While fruit size was down, quality and yields were still high. "If you buy from a local fruit and vegetable store, and buy in-season, then you're supporting the local economy through the whole supply chain as well." Along with taking a hit from drought and floods, South Australian Dairyfarmers Association's Rob Brokenshire said the dairy industry was also competing with cheaper imports. "This is a time when we need to push back on imports and we need to become parochial as South Australian and Australian, and buying locally absolutely makes a difference," Mr Brokenshire said. The Australian wine industry has been battling on many fronts — from drought to reduced consumer demand and low grape prices. Paxton Wines head winemaker Ashleigh Seymour said small and medium-sized producers were doing it especially tough. "Next time you're in the bottle shop trying to choose some wine for dinner, or take to a friend's house, try and buy Australian … especially as we go through these tough times," she said. "Whether it's grape or lamb or grain production, it's not just that specific industry that is affected. For those with some spare time or money, there are also charities collecting donations and volunteers to help farmers directly. BlazeAid relaunched its Give a Farmer a Break program, which "matchmakes" farmers and volunteers with help such as fence building, livestock agistment, and holidays. BlazeAid founder Kevin Butler said city dwellers were reaching out wanting to help. "The idea is [volunteers] can come to your farm, you teach them how to feed the sheep or the dogs, water the garden, or whatever, and give you a break. Or give you a chance to do something else. Or even go on a holiday." Regional charity Rural Aid provides services such as free mental health programs, counselling, and water tank and hay deliveries to farmers directly. Chief executive John Warlters said it had experienced a huge increase in demand and relied on public generosity to keep up — either as a monetary donation or volunteering. "It's donations from mums and dads, community groups and sporting clubs, but it's also from businesses big and small," Mr Warlters said. "The more the situation is shared with the broader public, and the more people understand how tough it is at the moment, they definitely want to be part of the solution."
