Retalier David Jones has entered voluntary administration after last-ditch talks to save the iconic department store chain collapsed.
The 188-year-old retailer's owner, Anchorage Capital Partners, has run out of cash, with insolvency firm McGrathNicol appointed as voluntary administrator.
The move follows a breakdown in negotiations with major landlords, including Westfield owner Scentre Group, over unpaid rent, leaving thousands of jobs at risk.
Marketing expert, Dee Madigan, says the retailer's decline began after the it was bought by an overseas company in 2014 that failed to understand the brand.
"And all the nice things that made the experience of David Jones were cut. And so it was just like, you know, Myer and David Jones felt exactly the same. And ironically, that's what would have protected them against online shopping by, you know, having stores where the experience of going in made you feel special. But they got rid of that."
Support for multiculturalism in Australia has fallen sharply, with a major new report finding six in ten Australians believe immigration levels are too high.
The 20th Mapping Social Cohesion study found 76 per cent of those surveyed believe multiculturalism has been good for Australia, down 13 percentage points in three years.
The survey of 10,000 adults also found just 31 per cent trust the federal government all or most of the time, while almost half believe major changes are needed to the political system.
Lead author Dr James O'Donnell says despite growing pessimism, Australians still feel connected to their local communities.
"We're still saying that we get along well with our neighbors, we're connected within our local communities, we feel a sense of belonging in our local communities. but we are more pessimistic too, both in our own lives and, and the future of Australia."
US President Donald Trump says he's not even a little bit concerned about Democrats impeaching him, following their sweep in the midterm elections.
Democrats have regained control of both chambers of US Congress, reviving discussion about a potential third impeachment of Mr Trump as president.
Democratic control of Congress will also allow the party to pursue investigations into the Iran war, immigration enforcement, and allegations of corruption, while blocking Mr Trump's policy agenda.
Mr Trump says he expects to get along with the Democrats, as long as they co-operate.
"I think would destroy the Democrat Party if they did that. Because impeachment for no reason, what? For having a successful country. Our country is more successful now than at any time in its history."
Tributes are flowing for rugby league legend Paul Langmack, who has died aged 61.
Langmack played 314 first grade games in the 1980s and 90s, spanning stints with the Canterbury Bankstown Bulldogs, Western Suburbs and Sydney Roosters.
He was key to wins in three grand finals with the Bulldogs in 1984, 1985 and 1988, and played in a losing grand final in 1986.
Langmack also played 10 matches for Australia on the 1986 Kangaroo Tour, as well as four State of Origin games for New South Wales.
Australian Rugby League Commission Executive Chairman Peter V’landys says he was "a larger-than-life character, incredibly funny, hugely popular and passionate."
