The Lowy Institute is an independent Australian think-tank founded in 2003 to conduct research into international political, strategic and economic issues from an Australian perspective. For the past 21yrs, Lowy has conducted a poll into how Australians feel about the world. Their 2026 findings were released in late June.
Australians’ trust in the United States (US) to act responsibly in the world has fallen to 31%, the lowest level ever recorded in the Lowy Institute Poll. By contrast, trust in China rose 8 points from last year to 28%, narrowing the gap with the US to just 3 points. That gap was 53 points in 2022.
Australians remain trusting of liberal democracies. For the 6th year running, Japan was the most trusted power, with 89% of Australians saying they trust Japan to act responsibly in the world. Germany emerged as the next most trusted power (83%), followed by the UK at 81%. Trust in Indonesia (57%) and India (50%) remained moderate. New Zealand topped the “feelings thermometer” for the 16th year at 86%, followed by Canada at 79%. To continue reading, please click here: issuu.com/eumundivoice/docs/eumundi_voice_issue_146/25 ...

Comiskey Group said it rejected Tabcorp’s proposed contract due to increased venue fees, reduced commissions and upfront equipment costs of between $15,000 and $21,000 per venue for TAB infrastructure that would remain owned by Tabcorp. The company also objected to clauses that would transfer certain regulatory liabilities to venue operators.
Director Rob Comiskey said the proposed terms were not commercially viable. “The new contract would have cost our business hundreds of thousands of dollars each year,” he said.
Tabcorp defended the new model, saying it was part of a $50M investment to upgrade its retail network and attract more customers to pubs and clubs. The company said the revised arrangements involve higher costs for venues but are designed to deliver additional benefits and drive patronage. ... See MoreSee Less

Eumundi Voice loves sharing stories of kindness and community spirit, so we were delighted to see this recent post on the Eumundi Community Facebook page.
“I was out walking my dog this morning when I came across a tree blocking the footpath on Memorial Dr. My dog and I had to manoeuvre around it and step out onto the road. Next minute, a young man pulled up on the other side of the road, hopped out of his car, and came over to move the tree off the road and pathway. He even snapped off branches to make the footpath clear. It was so lovely to see such a genuinely kind and helpful person in our community. I thanked him and told him what a good citizen he was. He modestly replied, “Just a neighbour.” ... See MoreSee Less
