  • What Labor's visa crackdown actually changes for students, tourists and backpackers

    What Labor's visa crackdown actually changes for students, tourists and backpackers
    2026/10/16
    This episode covers Labor's visa crackdown, the topic of host Miko Santos's conversation with Melbourne-based immigration lawyer Johanna Bertumen Nonato. She breaks down which changes are already law and which are still just announcements, starting with student visas losing the ability to include secondary applicants and visitor visas now carrying a mandatory no-further-stay condition. The conversation covers why construction and housing trades are picking up extra weight in the skilled points system, even though the legislation for that formula hasn't landed yet. Nonato also addresses the Coalition's proposal that onshore workers return home before reapplying, and closes with practical advice on checking a migration agent's credentials before acting on their guidance. The episode matters for anyone mid-application or advising someone who is.Key topics & takeaways* Most student visas and the 485 visa can no longer include secondary applicants, with ASEAN/Pacific exemptions under strict conditions* Visitor visas now carry a mandatory 8503 no-further-stay condition, affecting onshore partner, parent and child visa plans* Working holiday visa ballots cap second-year places at 45,000 and third-year at 5,000* Construction and housing trades get extra points under skilled visas, but the points formula itself hasn't been legislated yet* Points outcomes for occupations like nursing versus trades still depend on individual profile, not occupation alone* Employer sponsored visa salary threshold now sits at $79,423 plus super* Checking a migration agent against the MARA register matters more than forum anecdotesFollow The Part 8A on Spotify and Apple Podcasts so next week’s episode lands in your feed.Truth matters.

  • Card surcharge ban: loopholes, higher prices and the return of cash

    Card surcharge ban: loopholes, higher prices and the return of cash
    2026/10/09
    This episode covers the card surcharge ban and what it actually means for shoppers and small business owners. Host Miko Santos talks with Dr Marian Makkar, a marketing academic at RMIT University, about why the surcharge ban has pushed some retailers to raise base prices instead of removing the cost altogether. Makkar explains that the ban stops surcharges but not other fees, such as platform or service charges, leaving a loophole retailers can still use legally. She argues the shift to a single final price makes it harder for consumers to see what they're actually paying for. The conversation moves into how this could push more people back toward cash, particularly younger consumers used to tap-and-go and buy-now-Key topics & takeaways* Why Makkar thinks the surcharge ban should have shifted costs from banks to retailers, not onto small businesses* How some retailers have folded the surcharge into higher sticker prices instead of removing it* The loophole: the ban covers surcharges but not platform, service or other fees* Why cash in hand could make consumers more careful spenders than tap-and-go* Why younger consumers may find a return to cash harder, given buy-now-pay-later habits* Who Makkar thinks should lead financial literacy education: parents, schools, community and not-for-profit groupsFollow The Part 8A on Spotify and Apple Podcasts so next week’s episode lands in your feed.Truth matters.

  • RBA cash rate rise to 4.60 per cent: what it means for mortgages, rents and inflation

    RBA cash rate rise to 4.60 per cent: what it means for mortgages, rents and inflation
    2026/10/02
    This episode covers the Reserve Bank's latest cash rate rise, up a quarter point to 4.60 per cent, the fourth increase this year and the highest level since late 2011. Host Miko Santos speaks with Dr Angel Zhong, finance academic and Deputy Dean of Research and Innovation at RMIT University, about who is hurt first and why. Zhong estimates a typical mortgage holder faces $90 to $120 in extra monthly repayments once lenders pass on the rise and explains how renters can also face increases when landlords pass on their own higher costs. The conversation moves to why underlying inflation, measured by the trimmed mean at 3.6 per cent, has stayed elevated for three months, touching on labour market tightness, weak productivity, an ongoing oil shock, and a live debate about whether AI data centres are adding to price pressures. Zhong also flags the risk of unreliable social media financial advice when households are under strain.Key topics & takeaways* RBA raises cash rate to 4.60 per cent, the fourth rise this year and highest since late 2011* Typical mortgage holders face $90 to $120 extra in monthly repayments* Renters exposed to landlord cost pass-through, subject to state rent-increase rules* Trimmed mean inflation at 3.6 per cent for three months, still above the 2-3 per cent RBA target* The drivers of sticky inflation include a tight labour market, weak productivity, and an oil shock affecting shipping and groceries.* Debate over whether AI data centre demand for chips and electricity is contributing to inflation.* Financial stress raises risk of households turning to unreliable social media finance advice.Follow The Part 8A on Spotify and Apple Podcasts so next week’s episode lands in your feed.Truth matters.
