Former New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern spoke at the Sydney Opera House, advising politicians to 'rebuild trust by building financial security,' per The Guardian.

Meanwhile, some New South Wales police are now equipped with military-style rifles and could be deployed to protests, The Guardian reports.

Disquiet grows in Albanese's backyard as Grayndler artists unite against an 'insane' AI proposal, The Guardian notes.

The city also hosts a secret Chanel fashion show, as reported by Australian Financial Review, while Sydney Metro's Southwest extension opens over a former suburban railway, Railway Gazette reports.
