Mike Baird has resigned as chair of Cricket Australia, according to ongoing live coverage from The Guardian tracking the day's developments in Australian news.
The same coverage reports that paramedics are set to take a leading role in responding to mental health call-outs in Victoria, a shift in how the state manages such emergency responses.
Economic outlook
Separately, the Reserve Bank of Australia is expected to raise the cash rate to 4.6%, which would mark its highest level since 2011. Such a move would affect household budgets, with reporting noting it could add more than $100 to typical monthly mortgage repayments and put downward pressure on house prices.
Together, the developments reflect a mix of sporting governance, public health policy and economic news being followed as part of the day's rolling coverage in Australia.
