A runway construction project at San Francisco International Airport is expected to finish two days ahead of schedule, offering relief to passengers affected by months of delays. Runway 1 Right has been closed since March 30 while crews repave its surface and carry out improvements to nearby taxiways, lighting and markings. The work had originally been due to continue until October 2, but the airport now expects the runway to be completed by September 30. The closure has forced SFO to handle arrivals and departures mainly through Runways 28 Left and 28 Right, reducing the airport’s operating capacity during busy…

One Nation’s proposed migration cuts could cost Australia billions of dollars a year, damage regional communities and remove hundreds of thousands of workers from industries already facing labour shortages, economists have warned. Pauline Hanson’s plan would seek to produce net-negative migration for three years before establishing a long-term annual intake of 130,000 people. The most significant reductions would target international education. The party has proposed cutting international student visas from 590,000 to 350,000, while reducing temporary graduate visas from 230,000 to 40,000. Together, the measures would mean 430,000 fewer student arrivals, a reduction of 55 per cent. International student cuts…

An Argentinian judge has ordered the suspension of a British-Israeli oil project near the Falkland Islands, in a symbolic legal move as Buenos Aires intensifies its claim to the British-administered territory. The interim ruling, issued by a court in the southern province of Tierra del Fuego, targets Rockhopper Exploration and Navitas Petroleum’s Sea Lion oilfield, about 220km from the islands. The case was brought earlier this month by veterans of the 1982 Falklands War and environmental lawyers. The judge ordered the companies to refrain from starting or continuing work involving drilling, infrastructure or hydrocarbon extraction. The suspension will remain in…

King Charles has issued a rare response to an alleged conversation recounted by his former brother-in-law Charles Spencer in a forthcoming book about Princess Diana. Spencer claims that the then Prince Charles told him, shortly after Diana’s death in 1997, that the public would soon forget her. The account appears in Swan Song: Diana, My Sister, which is due to be published on 22 September. A spokesperson for the King said the palace did not comment on books “as a matter of principle”, but added that His Majesty was mindful of how grief could affect recollection. “His Majesty is mindful…

Michael Carrick has dismissed concerns over his Manchester United future after Brighton overturned an early two-goal deficit to send the club out of the Carabao Cup. United appeared firmly in control at Old Trafford when Shea Lacey and Mason Mount struck inside the opening 10 minutes. Brighton responded with three unanswered goals, however, securing a 3-2 victory and inflicting Carrick’s third defeat in six matches in all competitions this season. The result intensified scrutiny of Carrick, whose side had won 143 of their previous 145 home matches after taking a 2-0 lead. It was also United’s first defeat at Old…

Seattle Public Schools has ratified a new three-year contract with the Seattle Education Association, formally securing an agreement that averted a strike and established pay and staffing arrangements through to 2029. The school board’s approval on 16 September followed a ratification vote by the union, which represents about 6,000 teachers, paraprofessionals and other school staff. The two sides reached a tentative agreement on 1 September, just hours before the new academic year was due to begin. The deal followed 30 bargaining sessions held since August and allowed classes to start as scheduled on 2 September. Preschool and kindergarten pupils began…

The plan to demolish the Woolworths store at Sydney’s Town Hall and replace it with a public piazza has been referred to the Independent Planning Commission, amid the strongest indication yet that the New South Wales Government could block the proposal. The commission will determine whether the $150 million redevelopment qualifies as a State Significant Development. If it does, the state government would be able to overrule the City of Sydney and stop the project. NSW Premier Chris Minns said he was not personally intervening to halt the scheme, but acknowledged concerns from residents, retailers, unions and business groups about…
