February 22 Private health insurance premiums surge in biggest hike
Private health insurance premiums in Australia will increase by an average of 4.41% from April 1, marking the largest rise in nearly a decade. The four major providers are implementing even steeper increases, with NIB leading at 5.47%, while some smaller providers are only raising rates by 1.9%. Consumers can save money by comparing providers, reviewing their coverage extras, paying annual premiums before April 1, and understanding that switching between providers with equivalent cover doesn't reset waiting periods.

February 22 South Australia offers $100,000 stamp duty saving for downsizers
South Australia's Labor government has pledged to abolish stamp duty for downsizers aged 60 and over who sell their existing home and purchase a newly built property or apartment worth up to $2 million. The scheme aims to release at least 2,000 larger homes into the market over four years for growing families whilst incentivising new housing construction. Premier Peter Malinauskas defends the $70 million policy cost, arguing it creates new housing supply rather than driving up prices on existing stock like the opposition's alternative plan.
