Aus evacuations axed after US strikes + The big brands gaslighting you

Monday Headlines: Planned evacuations of Australians trapped in the Middle East have been cancelled following the US’s strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites, a manhunt is underway in NSW for a teenage driver who fled the scene of a deadly crash, a taste of spring is on the way after colder-than Antarctic weather, and a Queensland cat has survived a full 55-minute cycle inside a washing machine.

Deep Dive: The end of financial year is almost here and so are the flashy sales, inbox promotions, and “limited time” deals. But are these discounts really saving us money, or just pushing us to spend more?

In this episode of The Briefing, Chris Spyrou speaks with Chandni Gupta from the Consumer Policy Research Centre about the tricks retailers use, how to spot them, and how to shop smarter.
