| | | | Good morning. Today Guardian Australia launches Hot Property, an investigation into how News Corp’s dominance makes selling a house in Australia so expensive. In the US, Donald Trump’s campaign team has confirmed he is safe after gunshots were heard at the Florida golf course where the Republican presidential candidate was at the time. More than 20 years since she disappeared, a judgment is set to be handed down today for the NSW couple accused of murdering Amber Haigh. And: Oscar Piastri held his nerve to win the Azerbaijan F1 Grand Prix after a tense battle to the flag. |

| Australia | | Amber Haigh murder trial | The enduring mystery of the disappearance of Amber Haigh more than 20 years ago faces a key reckoning Monday morning, with judgment in a trial for her murder. | The rise of the Libertarians | The “fringe party” could have up to 15 councillors across NSW and take control of a major regional council following the Liberal party’s bungle over candidates. | ‘Zero repercussions’ | Victims of the unlawful robodebt program say they feel “embarrassed” to have believed justice would be delivered following a royal commission into the scheme. | Analysis | Housing affordability is an issue voters care about – and Labor needs more than just scares about Peter Dutton. Paul Karp asks, could negative gearing reform help it get its groove back? | Staying the course | The Queensland opposition has said it will match the state government’s commitment to keep 50c public transport fares in place beyond the October election. |

| Full Story | | | Retracing Labor’s road to gender parity In 1994 Labor made the controversial decision to introduce quotas for women. Thirty years later, the rule has transformed the party, increasing the number of female MPs to 52.4% of the ALP caucus. Guardian Australia political editor Karen Middleton speaks with Nour Haydar about that landmark decision – and why former prime minister Julia Gillard wants to see the rule adopted across parliament. | |

| In-depth | | | Australians are paying the highest advertising fees in the world to sell their homes online – and critics say that’s because of the dominance of the News Corp-controlled realestate.com.au and its “symbiotic relationship” with real estate agents. Those who attempt to disrupt the industry – or sell their homes privately, like Dimitri Chrisis (pictured) – face steep hurdles. This week in Hot Property, Guardian Australia looks into the $10tn residential real estate sector and who is benefitting the most from the big business of selling and renting Australian houses. |

| Not the news | | Akira Isogawa has spent more than a quarter of a century as one of Australia’s most celebrated fashion designers. His pieces have been worn regularly by the likes of Cate Blanchett, and his eponymous label has been sold in high-end department stores around the globe. In the latest of our Three Things series on the importance of objects, he talks about the scissors he can’t live without, his collection of cherished textiles from his birthplace – and the photographs he misses most. |

| What’s happening today | Queensland | A ceremonial hearing will formally mark the commencement of the Truth-telling and Healing Inquiry in Brisbane. | WA | New rural health commissioner Prof Jenny May is set to address the National Rural Health Conference in Perth. | NSW | An inquest is scheduled to begin into the death in custody of Aboriginal woman Tammy Shipley. |
