Eddie Obeid, Moses Obeid and Ian Macdonald to appeal mine licence conspiracy convictions in 2023

 Former NSW Labor ministers Ian Macdonald, Eddie Obeid, and his son Moses, will appeal against their convictions and jail sentences for a mine licence conspiracy next year. 

Eddie Obeid, 78, Moses Obeid, 53, and Macdonald, 73, were jailed in October 2021 after being found guilty in a landmark judge-alone trial. 

Justice Elizabeth Fullerton found they conspired for former resources minister Macdonald to commit misconduct in public office by granting a coal exploration licence for the Obeid family farm in the Bylong Valley.

It gave the Obeid family a $30 million windfall, which has never been repaid.

ACTU Secretary Sally McManus says Reserve Bank in 'boomer fantasy land' over wage-price spiral fears

 ACTU Secretary Sally McManus says the Reserve Bank is out of touch and living in "boomer fantasy land" if it thinks workers can afford real cuts to their wages.

The union boss said the RBA governor Philip Lowe changed his tune in his speech earlier this week about wages.

On Tuesday, Dr Lowe warned pay rises above 3.5 per cent, which is half the 7 per cent inflation forecast by the end of the year, could force the RBA to go harder on interest rates and prolong high inflation.

South Coast council begs holiday-home owners to rent out properties as housing crisis escalates

 A coastal New South Wales council is begging 7,500 holiday home owners from Canberra and Sydney to make their properties available to renters to ease the region's housing crisis.

Eurobodalla Shire Council Mayor Mathew Hatcher has written to a total of about 8,000 non-resident ratepayers who own homes along the South Coast, urging them to consider renting them out for one to two years while long-term solutions can be established.

"We know that a lot of Canberrans, and I was one of them, use this area as their holiday destination every summer," Councillor Hatcher said.

"And there's no doubt about it, we want you down here, we need your money, we need you to be a tourist for this region.
