Nothing beats this retro classic hotel for a schlep-free family ski holiday
Listening to the wild weather soundtrack while dining on delicious calamari fritti and perfectly plated lamb with chimichurri is a "pinch me" moment. We have hypnotic front-row seats to a raging weather symphony that is buffeting the outdoor Australian and US flags (Perisher is owned by Vail Resorts). Meanwhile we're snug as bugs by the open fireplace, with a talented piano player and candlelight adding to the ambience. Mid sugar rush my youngest declares her hot chocolate the world's best and breakfast is equally exceptional, a fuelling feast for a day on the ski slopes of a la carte and buffet options.

Big bank's bizarre way to stop scammers
Commonwealth Bank Australia has revealed a new strategy which will be put in place to stop scammers – using artificial intelligence (AI) to trap them in a 'honey pot' strategy. CBA, in partnership with says they are deploying thousands of conversation bots to stop scammers ringing or phoning actual Australians. This fleet of AI-powered bot profiles are engineered to engage with scammers, gather intelligence on them and disrupt scam operations all in near real-time. chief executive and founder Dali Kaafar said the system was based on a 'honey pot' strategy. CBA has announced a new way to stop scammers by having AI chat directly with them 'We've designed our bots to be difficult to detect by scammers, making them incredibly effective at gathering intelligence and disrupting scam operations,' professor Kaafar said. 'The bots are uniquely crafted with diverse identities – varying in gender, age, tone, and cultural nuance – and finetuned with Australian slang and humour to improve realism.' CBA will use AI to chat with scammers directly. NewsWire / Morgan Sette Credit: News Corp Australia Professor Kaafar said in collaboration with our telco partners, operates a vast and constantly growing network of dedicated telephone numbers connected to the telcos networks and designed specifically to be discovered and targeted by scammers. 'When a scammer dials or messages one of these numbers, they actually engage in conversations with one of our AI-powered bots and not a person,' he said. 'In the fight against scams, timing is everything. 'Our intelligence gives organisations like CBA the edge, not just to detect scams, but to anticipate and block it before it reaches customers.' Commonwealth Bank general manager of group fraud James Roberts said while the bank won't share specific methods this collaboration is helping to strengthen the ability to quickly and effectively to evolving threats. CBA has said phone scams accounted for the highest overall financial losses over 2024. NewsWire / Nicholas Eagar Credit: NewsWire 'Since the pilot program was announced late 2024, it has expanded in both scale and sophistication,' Mr Roberts said. 'This has seen hundreds of thousands of scam calls diverted to bots, with intelligence gathered helping to generate near real-time alerts and blocks to protect CommBank customers. It comes as the bank looks to offset some of the financial damages caused by scammers in Australia. CBA says phone scams accounted for the highest overall financial losses in 2024, and were more likely to result in significant losses for an individual. Mr Roberts said every minute a scammer is engaging with a bot, is less time they can be using to target Australians. 'The near real-time intelligence being gathered is a game-changer in how we help to protect our customers and the broader community,' he said.

Chalmers hits China-linked companies with landmark lawsuit over crucial military minerals
Treasurer Jim Chalmers has launched an unprecedented lawsuit against China-linked interests to force them to sell their stake in an Australian rare earths miner, whose products are crucial to warplanes, missiles and submarines. The lawsuit, filed in the Federal Court on Thursday against foreign investors in Northern Minerals, is also seeking financial penalties for allegedly refusing to obey Chalmers' direction to sell out of the company last year. The Australian-listed company is developing the Browns Range heavy rare earths project in remote northern Western Australia, which could be one of the first non-Chinese sources of the minerals used in military guidance systems, wind turbines and electric vehicles. Chalmers' court action against an entity called Indian Ocean International Shipping and Service Company Ltd and a former associate follows his order last year for five Chinese-linked groups to sell their shares in Northern Minerals to unconnected buyers by September. 'Foreign investors in Australia are required to follow Australian law,' Chalmers said in a statement. 'We are doing what is necessary to protect the national interest and the integrity of our foreign investment framework.' China's control of rare earths and critical products is an escalating cause of concern to the United States and countries like Australia, after Donald Trump's trade war prompted Beijing to restrict shipments of the materials. It has made similar moves before, including against Japan in 2010 during a territorial dispute. China controls nearly all of the world's heavy rare earth production and Australian Strategic Policy Institute senior fellow Ian Satchwell said the global superpower's interests were seeking to exert influence over Northern Minerals. 'Australia, with like-minded partner nations, is seeking to build alternative supply chains for rare earths and other critical minerals, and the Northern Minerals shenanigans are a very obvious example of China-linked bad faith investing to allegedly seek to disrupt those efforts,' Satchwell said. 'In Australia's case those rare earths are used for things such as F35 fighters, missiles attached to them and in the future, nuclear-powered submarines.'
