News from Australia, 3 July

The Queensland opposition is demanding the state government to explain and fix the inadequate healthcare in Indigenous communities following a coroner's findings on the deaths of three Indigenous women with rheumatic heart disease.

The coroner's report highlighted the failure of health systems in remote Indigenous communities and emphasized that rheumatic heart disease is preventable and largely a result of poverty and social disadvantage.

The opposition leader is calling for a full review of the government's Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Cultural Capability Framework, release of the implementation schedule for the coroner's recommendations, and an independent review of the government's strategy to end rheumatic heart disease.

2. Scientists have developed an approach to select coral species for reef restoration programs, focusing on species that can optimize coral reef survival in a warming world.

The selection process considers both ecological characteristics and trait diversity to ensure species diversity and ecosystem function in future coral reefs.

This approach provides a simple framework for restoration practitioners to select target species based on spatial scale and available resources.

3. The Reserve Bank of Australia is expected to raise its interest rate by 25 basis points to 4.35% in order to combat high inflation.

Economists are divided on whether the RBA will hike rates or hold them steady, with a near split between those expecting a hike and those predicting a pause.

Despite a slight slowdown in inflation, the RBA is likely to continue tightening monetary policy due to strong employment growth and the need to address the disinflation task.

4. Indonesian President Joko Widodo's visit to Australia near the end of his term is seen as an important statement for bilateral relations and the potential for concrete economic projects.

Talks between Australia and Indonesia may focus on the supply of minerals for battery and electric vehicle manufacturing, with opportunities for reciprocal trade and cooperation.

While there are concerns about the AUKUS defense pact, there is potential for positive steps in security cooperation between the two nations in the Indo-Pacific region.

5. The Indonesian government is actively working to increase the number of Indonesian language learners in Australia.

Efforts are being made to support the development of Indonesian language learning in NSW, Queensland, and South Australia.

'Indonesia in Action Day' organized by AIYA NSW and the University of Sydney showcased the importance of promoting Indonesian language and culture.
