Australia's housing market showed further signs of cooling as home prices fell in the latest report, ahead of an expected interest rate increase, Bloomberg reports.

The data indicates a potential shift in the property market's momentum, with analysts suggesting that the Reserve Bank may soon implement tighter monetary policy to curb overheating, per Reuters.

In parallel, public servants in Brisbane are demanding stronger safeguards for artificial intelligence use in government operations, as politicians consider staff cuts, Politico notes.
