Australia news live: Albanese meets with Japan’s PM for first time since melon-gate; police offer $1m for Gus Lamont information

The Australian market is not directly impacted by the meeting between Prime Minister Albanese and Japan's PM, which is focused on diplomatic relations rather than economic issues. However, this meeting could potentially lead to increased trade and investment between the two countries, which could have a positive effect on the Australian economy. The news of a $1 million reward for information about Gus Lamont, a suspect in a murder case, is a domestic issue and is unlikely to affect the markets directly.

Why it matters

The meeting between Albanese and Japan's PM is a routine diplomatic event. It may help to improve relations between the two countries, but its impact on markets is unclear.
