In a significant policy shift, Angus Taylor (leader of the opposition in Australia) is expected to announce a plan that ties the country's temporary immigration intake to the number of new homes built in the previous year during his budget reply speech. This approach aims to address housing shortages by limiting the number of overseas arrivals based on housing completion figures. In international news, Donald Trump has landed in Beijing for a summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping, marking the first visit to China by a U.S. president in nearly a decade. Meanwhile, a cruise ship in Bordeaux, France, is under quarantine as health authorities investigate a suspected norovirus outbreak affecting over 1,700 passengers and crew members. Additionally, the Stella Prize has made history by awarding its first non-binary winner, Lee Lai, for her graphic novel 'Cannon'. Concerns have also been raised about the exclusion of Palestinian voices from discussions on social cohesion in Australia, as a peak body for Palestinians was denied the opportunity to appear before a royal commission.
