URGENT UPDATE: In a bold move impacting Australian consumers, Coles has just announced significant price cuts on over 240 products, following Woolworths’ recent decision to lower prices on 100 items. This price reduction comes as Australians face escalating cost-of-living pressures, prompting many to reconsider their holiday spending, according to a new survey released today.
In a tragic incident, a two-year-old boy is currently fighting for his life after being struck by a van while using a pedestrian crossing in Melbourne’s southeast. The child was riding a balance bike with his father when the accident occurred, highlighting ongoing concerns over pedestrian safety.
In another significant development, Australia Post has confirmed the suspension of certain deliveries to the United States as new tariff regulations from US President Donald Trump loom on the horizon. The suspension raises questions about its impact on businesses and consumers who rely on these services during the busy holiday season.
As Australians brace for a challenging economic landscape, many are expected to tighten their belts even further, responding to rising costs with caution. The effects of these price cuts, the tragic accident, and the delivery suspensions will be closely monitored as the day unfolds.
