Composure key to Div 1 shield victory
Wyndham have won the Ack Soper Trophy after beating Edendale 24-18 in an exciting division one club rugby final in Wyndham. The Edendale team started the game strongly and got out to a 12-0 lead after tries to their wingers Josh Wilson and Phil Brown. Wyndham kept their composure and earned enough possession to score two converted tries before halftime to lead 14-12. Wyndham's veteran midfielder Joe McRae and Edendale's veteran midfielder Jeremy McLeod traded penalty goals before Wyndham scored their third converted try of the afternoon to lead 24-15. McLeod added his second penalty to bring Edendale back into contention but Wyndham were able to hold on to win 24-18. The final was a good game to watch and was well controlled by experienced referee Taylor Swan. Prop Logan Howe was playing his 100th game for Wyndham, while captain and hooker Snow Kingsbury scored one of the three tries. Lock Logan McDonald and Tyrone Braven also scored tries.

Edendale's prop Adam Muir and lock George Muschamp got stuck into the match that featured some big hits. Halfback Connor Millane was another top performer among an Edendale team that gave everything until the 80th minute. Riverton won the Division Two CJ Soper Trophy for the second straight year after beating Waikiwi 27-20 at Donovan Park in Invercargill on Saturday. Waikiwi had earned home-ground advantage after their unbeaten round-robin season, while the Riverton team had been building up their own confidence and momentum during the last month. Both teams scored three tries in Saturday's final, but it was Riverton first five-eighth Ben Symon who made the difference with his goal kicking. Symon scored one of his team's three tries and converted all three and also added two penalty goals. Prop Chris Patterson and second five-eighth Elliot Warrender scored Riverton's other two tries. The Waikaka Rugby Club finished their 125th year in style by beating Waikaia 31-14 in the Life Members' Trophy final on Saturday, while Albion beat Wyndham 14-5 in the President's Grade Cup final.

On July 8, 2025, after the market closed, RxSight reported preliminary second quarter 2025 financial results, revealing significant declines in LDD sales, LAL utilization, and overall revenue. The Company also lowered its full year 2025 guidance by approximately $42.5 million at the midpoint.

Scott Morrison thinks this beachside port should house Australia's next joint US base
The Australian Marine Complex in Henderson took shape in the early 2000s and houses shipbuilding and fabrication infrastructure among its five precincts. It is here the government plans to grow a new defence precinct to maintain nuclear-powered submarines under the AUKUS deal, and has committed $127 million over three years to do so. That's on top of $8 billion in upgrades to HMAS Stirling through to the mid-2030s. Immediately south of Henderson is the Kwinana Industrial Area, home to major operations run by Alcoa, Tianqi Lithium and BP, among others. The KIA will also be the future home of a massive container terminal when the WA state government's plans to shift the port from its current location at the Fremantle inner harbour come to fruition. How will the locals react to a US Navy presence? Already there has been disquiet in the port city of Fremantle to the north over the presence of nuclear-powered submarines at Henderson and HMAS Stirling under the AUKUS agreement. The federal MP whose electorate encompasses Henderson – Labor's Josh Wilson – has previously broken ranks to oppose the agreement, saying in 2023 he did not believe the deal was in Australia's national interest. The City of Fremantle – the local government above the City of Cockburn, which encompasses Henderson – has also been petitioned by locals to push back on the AUKUS plans under its nuclear-free policy and pledge. Fremantle was the first local government in WA to declare itself a nuclear-free zone more than four decades ago. So, what is the likelihood of a joint base in Henderson? Defence expert Jennifer Parker, an adjunct fellow at the Australian National University, believes the proposal doesn't make sense, and could add unnecessary complexity to existing plans for Henderson. 'Henderson really is focused on becoming a defence precinct that can support Australia's sovereign shipbuilding,' Parker said. 'Now a component of Henderson … will conduct depot-level maintenance for submarines, and it will include US submarines, and that's part of the benefit to the US in this deal. 'But to do that, it doesn't need to be a joint base whatsoever. 'In fact, really, that would put probably unnecessary tension on delivering what we need to deliver in Henderson, which is turning it into a defence precinct that has the ability to build large ships and maintain submarines for Australia.' Parker said US submarines and personnel would be already stationed at the nearby HMAS Stirling on Garden Island under the current AUKUS plans. 'Changing the structure of the base, how it's named, how it's administrated, adds no operational capability whatsoever to either shipbuilding and submarine maintenance or support to the squadron in WA,' she said. 'But what it does do is denude some of Australia's control over its main bases, and at Henderson, it could get in the way of Australia's priority, which is shipbuilding.'
