Qantas launches new flights to tropical Aussie islands near Indonesia

When dreaming of a tropical destination for a weekend escape, most Aussies picture Queensland's sun-drenched coastline or the iconic Great Barrier Reef. But closer to Bali lie several islands that are actually part of Australia; the Cocos (Keeling) Islands and Christmas Island. These island escapes – which boast snorkelling, diving, fishing, national parks and an abundance of wildlife – are now more accessible thanks to a new route launched by Qantas. The airline announced twice-weekly flights from Perth to the Indian Ocean Territories, with an additional Saturday service once a month. The new routes will replace Virgin Australia's former schedule, and are expected to boost visitor numbers to the remote communities. Chair of Christmas Island Tourism, David Watchorn, told Yahoo News that residents were excited about the announcement, as the islands rely heavily on tourism. 'Visitors bring energy and opportunity — creating jobs in accommodation, tours, hospitality, and retail,' he said. 'Unlike mining, which has a clear end date, tourism is renewable and sustainable, growing stronger as more people experience our extraordinary red crab migration, world-class diving, pristine nature, and vibrant culture. 'Tourism isn't just part of the economy — it's the pathway to a stronger, more diverse future for Christmas Island.' The phosphate mining industry has boosted the island's economy for over a century, but it's scheduled to end in 2034, leaving the territory more reliant on visitors than ever. 'This is about more than just flights,' Mr Watchorn said. 'It's about better connections for residents, better access to essential services, and putting the Indian Ocean Territories firmly on the map as a destination.' While the new Qantas schedule won't start until November 3, visitors are able to start booking flights from today, August 18. Flights will depart from Perth's international airport, and fares will include complimentary food and a 30kg baggage allowance. New flight route open between Cairns and Hamilton Island Another Aussie island escape is also welcoming the announcement of a new flight route, with Queensland-based East Air planning on operating a direct flight from Cairns to Hamilton Island. The service will also begin on November 3, and offer three flights a week to begin with, with the possibility of expanding if demand allows. 'This is an ideal opportunity for holidaymakers to maximise their time in Queensland and experience both of these exceptional destinations without additional costly and unnecessary travel and transfers,' East Air CEO Alan Milne said. It will be the first time the route has opened since pre-Covid times. Do you have a story tip? Email: newsroomau@ You can also follow us on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Twitter and YouTube.

Dutch crypto firm Amdax aims to launch Bitcoin treasury company on Euronext

(Reuters) -Amsterdam-based cryptocurrency service provider Amdax plans to launch a bitcoin treasury company called AMBTS (Amsterdam Bitcoin Treasury Strategy) on the Dutch stock exchange, Amdax said on Monday. WHY IT'S IMPORTANT: Amdax's plans highlight the growing appeal of bitcoin, which has hit record highs this month. KEY QUOTE: "With now over 10% of bitcoin supply held by corporations, governments and institutions, we think the time is right to establish a bitcoin treasury company with the aim to obtain a listing on Euronext Amsterdam, as one of the leading exchanges in Europe," said Amdax CEO Lucas Wensing. BY THE NUMBERS: Bitcoin has risen nearly 32% so far in 2025, reaching record highs, on the back of regulatory victories for the sector following President Donald Trump's return to the White House. Trump has called himself the "crypto president" and his family has made a series of forays into the sector over the past year. Amdax and AMBTS plan to raise capital from a number of private investors in an initial financing round, and the long-term ambition of AMBTS is to own at minimum 1% of all bitcoin over time. 擷取數據時發生錯誤 登入存取你的投資組合 擷取數據時發生錯誤 擷取數據時發生錯誤 擷取數據時發生錯誤 擷取數據時發生錯誤

Tengku Zafrul: Malaysia controlling stream of rare earth in bid to keep value, keeping both US and China at bay

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 18 — Malaysia is banning exports of unprocessed rare earths while at the same time attempting to court downstream investment to retain their value added at home, Investment, Trade and Industry Minister Datuk Seri Tengku Zafrul Aziz said. Speaking in an interview with US-based CNBC's 'Squawk Box Asia', Tengku Zafrul said Malaysia has discussed its rare-earth strategy with both Washington and Beijing during broader negotiations. 'Today, we engage both sides. And to be fair, both China and US have never said that you can't supply to the other, right? You can't not do business with the other,' he said. He also said that both countries have reminded Malaysia that it cannot have two different standards on rare earth exports. 'So we have to be consistent, to be neutral. You have to consider, we can't have policies which differentiates our relationship with one party to the other, to one country to another. 'So that's, I think, key. Once you do that, then it's very hard to defend that neutrality position,' he added. Tengku Zafrul pointed to the moratorium on rare earth elements exports, highlighting Australian miners Lynas as among firms operating under rules that permit exports after processing. 'So what we are doing now is we're saying that, look, we invite all companies to come to Malaysia and to be part of the supply chain to invest in the downstream activities of rare earth, and then we can then export the value-add of those right now,' he said. Tengku Zafrul argued the approach maximises economic spillovers and strengthens the case for keeping processing domestic. He also framed the policy as a way to anchor higher-value activity in Malaysia while staying open to all buyers under equal rules. Earlier this month, Tengku Zafrul announced that Malaysia will no longer allow the export of raw rare earth minerals, in a move to promote local downstream development. Tengku Zafrul said Malaysia remains open to foreign investment, but it must involve local processing, job creation, and technology transfer.
