Jackie O pursues claim against Kiis FM after Kyle Sandilands settles – as it happened

And with that, we are going to put the blog to bed. Before we go, let’s recap the big headlines: The Media, Entertainment and Arts Alliance issued a statement in support of the Guardian Australia journalist Sarah Martin who was subjected to a personal and unfounded attack by Pauline Hanson yesterday. The federal parliamentary press gallery committee also issued a statement strongly objecting to threats made by the One Nation leader to ban journalists. Data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics showed about 563,500 people arrived in Australia by migration in 2025. That was 32,000 fewer than in 2024 and lower than every year after 2018, when there were 534,400 arrivals, except for 2020 and 2021 which had pandemic border closures. Migration departures fell by 2,700 people, to 262,700, in 2025 from the previous year. That saw net overseas migration slide from 330,400 people in 2024 to 301,000 in 2025. Anthony Albanese lifted the threshold for small businesses to get an exemption from CGT to $10m, five times the previous level as the government responds to criticism about its tax reforms. The prime minster said “we’re also proposing to introduce a new innovative business tax concession for startups”, addressing another concern that entrepreneurs could be treated too punitively under the proposed change from a flat 50% CGT discount to an inflation-linked model. Qantas has set a new date for the launch of its nonstop service between Sydney and London : October 2027. The first Project Sunrise Sydney to London services, on a specially manufactured A350 plane built by Airbus in France, will cut four hours off the travel time, Qantas said in a media release. Jackie “O” Henderson’s legal team told the federal court the former breakfast host is keen to pursue her $82m claim against Kiis FM . While Kyle Sandilands’ legal claim has been formally discontinued by the court, after he settled his dispute with ARN Media for a $12m cash payout, the Henderson claim will go ahead. Thank you for spending part of your day with us. We will be back tomorrow to do it all again.
