    Gout Gout breaks 20-second barrier at 18
    Apr 12 2026
    Australian teenage sprinter Gout Gout has run 19.67 seconds in the 200 metres at the Australian Athletics Championships, breaking the 20-second barrier and recording the second-fastest time ever for an under-20 athlete. The 18-year-old's performance is faster than Usain Bolt's time at the same age and would have earned medals at multiple recent Olympic Games. His run also saw fellow competitor Aidan Murphy break the previous Australian national record of 20.02 seconds, which had stood since 1968.

    Oil crisis pushes up Australian housing costs
    Apr 12 2026
    Rising oil prices from the US-Iran conflict are driving up Australian housing construction costs, with building materials like PVC increasing by 30 per cent and paint prices set to rise by 10 per cent. Diesel-dependent construction companies on fixed-price contracts face particular pressure, while the overall increase in building costs threatens to slow new home construction at a time when housing supply already cannot meet demand.
