Billionaire Westfield co-founder Sir Frank Lowy recently made a rare appearance in Sydney, where he still maintains a home on Wolseley Road in Point Piper. He was seen attending Moriah College’s Rise Up event, which was part of the school’s capital appeal to raise $100 million for various upgrades. Sir Frank, a patron of Moriah, has donated over $5 million to the school over the years. His daughter-in-law, Judy Lowy, is the founding president of the Moriah Foundation, further solidifying the family’s ties to the institution.
Reports of a toxic workplace culture within the Bureau of Meteorology led to the bureau conducting a test of its new tsunami early warning system. Users of the BoM app around Australia received tsunami warnings, causing confusion and panic in some areas, including inland locations such as the Canberra suburb of Kingston. The bureau clarified that it was just a test and there was no actual tsunami threat to Australia. The last tsunami impact felt in Australia occurred after the 2011 Japan earthquake, with unusual currents noted in Sydney Harbour and swimmers washed into a lagoon at Merimbula.
