AI cameras to assist lifeguards at Australian pools
2d ago00:01:51Tap to summarizeAustralian public pools are implementing AI camera systems that detect swimmers in distress and alert lifeguards via smartwatch. The technology is being rolled out across approximately 100 facilities nationwide, with two Brisbane pools among the first to install the system. Royal Life Saving Australia reports that while lifeguards already respond to around 8,000 rescues and 14,000 medical episodes annually at public pools, the AI system provides additional surveillance capability without replacing human lifeguards.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

2d ago00:02:38Tap to summarizeThe Victorian government has delayed a proposed law that would enshrine the right for workers to work from home two days a week, pushing back its implementation from next month until July next year. Premier Ben Carroll says more time is needed to consult with business groups. The Victorian Chamber of Commerce CEO Sally Curtin argues the legislation is unnecessary, noting Victoria already has the highest work-from-home rates in the world following the pandemic lockdowns, and that employers and employees have successfully negotiated flexible arrangements without government intervention.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

2d ago00:03:26Tap to summarizeThe Reserve Bank of Australia has kept interest rates on hold while warning that inflation will remain elevated until the end of next year, meaning mortgage repayments will continue pressuring household budgets for at least 18 months. Property values are falling faster than the RBA anticipated, partly due to tax system changes introduced in the May budget, with house prices expected to decline by up to 8% through the rest of the year and into next year. HSBC Chief Economist Paul Bloxham explains the RBA wants the economy to remain weak to control inflation, and interest rate cuts are unlikely until well into next year.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
