Australia’s English-born star Josh Inglis destroys old enemy in record win Australia’s English-born star Josh Inglis destroys old enemy in record win Josh Inglis has posted his maiden ODI century as Australia bludgeoned the largest total in Champions Trophy history to pull off a spectacular five-wicket win over arch rivals England in Lahore. Ben Duckett cracked 165 off 143 ****** to lift England to 8-351 on Saturday night, bettering the previous best Champions Trophy mark of 4-347 set by NZ against the US at The Oval in 2004. WATCH THE VIDEO ABOVE: Australia’s English-born star destroys old enemy in record win. But England’s record lasted only a matter of hours, with Australia chasing down the victory target on 5-356 with 15 ****** to spare courtesy of Inglis’ heroics. The Leeds-born wicketkeeper cracked an unbeaten 120 off 86 ******, including eight fours and six sixes, in a monumental performance. Fellow keeper Alex Carey (69 off 63 ******), opener Matt Short (63 off 66), Marnus Labuschagne (47 off 45) and Glenn Maxwell (32no off 15) all produced important cameos to ensure Australia’s campaign got off to a winning note. Australia — without key bowlers Pat Cummins, Mitch Starc and Josh Hazlewood — face South Africa on Tuesday and Afghanistan on Friday, and one more win may be enough to secure a semi-finals berth by finishing in the top two in Group B. “I’m over the moon, great win,” Inglis said. “We knew it was going to be tough going up against England, and 350 — a lot of things have got to go right to chase that down. “I’m just really pumped on a personal level, and for the guys out there it was a great performance. “It’s only a short-sharp tournament, so to go one from one is really important.” Duckett smashed 17 fours and three sixes in his electric knock, making the most of Australia’s decision to bowl first on a batter-friendly wicket. Joe Root chipped in with a handy 68 off 78 ******, combining with Duckett for a 158-run partnership. Duckett set an individual record, with his total the highest ever in Champions Trophy history, bettering the 145 from Kiwi Nathan Astle against the US in 2004. Carey, normally in gloves, proved the surprise star in the field for Australia with three catches — two of them screamers. The 33-year-old stunned the crowd with a diving, one-handed catch at mid-on to dismiss opener Phil Salt for 10 in the second over. If you’d like to view this content, please adjust your Cookie Settings. To find out more about how we use cookies, please see our Cookie Guide. He proved it wasn’t a fluke later in the innings by taking a brilliant diving catch to dismiss Harry Brook for three. “For a moment, it looked like they were probably going to get over 400, so we’re pleased by that effort,” said captain Steve Smith of his side’s bowling effort. “We thought around 350 was going to be chaseable, and, yeah, we were confident we could chase this down.” But that chase did get off to a poor start. Travis Head was caught and bowled by Jofra Archer for just six, and Australia were 2-27 when captain Smith edged a Mark Wood 151km/h thunderbolt to slip. Labuschagne entered the tournament under a mountain of pressure to perform, and his 95-run stand with Short put Australia back on track. But the pair’s dismissal within 14 runs of each other left Australia in strife at 4-136, before wicketkeepers Carey and Inglis took the game away from England. Inglis in particular was destructive, with his vast array of strokes and ramps leaving England players visibly frustrated. Australia were 4-248 when Archer dropped an easy catch in the outfield when Carey was on 49, with the missed chance proving to be a dagger blow for England. It helped Australia post the second highest ODI chase in their history, only behind the 6-359 they recorded against India in 2019. It also marked the highest men’s run chase in ICC tournament history.

Shadow Treasurer says Coalition ‘won’t get in the way’ of Labor’s proposed $8.5 billion bulk billing GP plan Shadow Treasurer says Coalition ‘won’t get in the way’ of Labor’s proposed $8.5 billion bulk billing GP plan Shadow Treasurer Angus Taylor says the Coalition “won’t get in the way” of Labor’s proposed $8.5b bulk billing GP plan to allow more Australians to visit a doctor but says the move is “cleaning up the mess it has made”. He indicated the Opposition would consider matching the proposal while speaking on Sky News on Sunday. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese will launch the policy on Sunday in a major pre-election pitch that aims to lift bulk billing rates to 90 per cent, up from the current 77.7 per cent — the largest funding injection into Medicare for 40 years. The Coalition is likely keen to avoid an election fight over health after Labor’s 2016 “Mediscare” campaign stoked fears about cuts to Medicare or privatisation of the service, which came close to toppling the Turnbull government. “We’re not going to get in the way of Labor cleaning up the mess that it has made,” Mr Taylor said. “What should have happened is, we should have kept the gains or the benefits that we’ve had when we were in government — that higher level of bulk billing, that lower level of out-of-pocket. But Labor has failed.” Mr Taylor said the Labor Government had not explained how the government would pay for the measure while the budget was in deficit. But Treasurer Jim Chalmers told ABC Insider’s the proposal had already been partially funded in the mid-year-budget update. “$5.4billion of the$8.5billion that we’re announcing today, we already provisioned for in the mid-year budget update,” he said. “This shows what’s possible when you help engineer a $200 billion improvement in the budget. You knock out those two surpluses to pay down Liberal debt.” The *********** College of Rural and Remote Medicine welcomed the Government’s commitment to strengthening general practice, particularly in rural, remote, and First Nations communities. They described the policy as “history making” and crucial for improving affordability for patients in a cost-of-living crisis but also to allow GPs to keep their doors open. Mr Albanese is expected to hold a campaign-style rally in Launceston on Sunday where he will formally announce the policy. Labor is expected to spruik the measure as a cornerstone of its re-election bid and talk it up as a legacy defining commitment. Labor has used the announcement to attack Mr Dutton’s record as health minister in the Abbott government, which included attempts to cut Medicare rebates and introduce a mandatory fee for GP visits. “Peter Dutton in 2014 tried to abolish bulk billing altogether,” Health Minister Mark Butler told Sky News on Sunday. “When he couldn’t do that, when the Senate blocked him, doctors opposed him — instead, what he set about doing was effectively to strangle bulk-billing slowly by freezing the Medicare rebate.” Mr Butler added that Federal Labor’s bulk-billing GP plan will include support to improve the junior doctor pipeline. Across the next four years $617m will be offered to train more doctors and nurses to fill an anticipated shortfall of some 5500 GPs over the next decade.

Consumer prices to gauge inflation fight raging in 2025 Consumer prices to gauge inflation fight raging in 2025 Fresh from lowering interest rates for the first time in almost five years, the Reserve Bank will soon get more figures to help determine if a second cut is on the way. Inflation data for the month of January is expected to show a slight uptick when released on Wednesday. Commonwealth Bank economists have forecast monthly inflation to rise from 2.5 per cent to 2.7 per cent in January, within the target band of two to three per cent outlined by the Reserve Bank. Trimmed mean inflation, which removes volatile price movements, is expected to come in at 2.8 per cent for the year to January, a rise from 2.7 per cent in December. Quarterly inflation numbers carry more weight with the central bank but the monthly consumer price data will be among the first set of figures used to determine whether a further rate cut is on the cards. The Reserve Bank on Tuesday announced a reduction of 25 basis points to 4.1 per cent, the first lowering of its cash rate since 2020. Its board will next meet at the start of April, which could fall during a Federal election campaign. The bank’s move was cautious but indicated future reductions, NAB head of *********** economics Gareth Spence said. “The cash rate will ease gradually from here, with four more 25 basis-point cuts to take the cash rate to 3.1 per cent in February 2026,” he said. “However, this will be data-dependent and risks are skewed towards a shallower cutting phase if data does not come in as expected.” Reserve Bank governor Michele Bullock said inflation was slowing more than expected and a cut to rates was appropriate. “The board remains cautious about the prospects for further policy easing,” she told a parliamentary inquiry on Friday, noting other countries had seen a rocky path to lowering inflation. Data on construction activity in the December quarter will also be released on Wednesday, which is tipped to increase by 0.8 per cent. Meanwhile, US stocks tumbled on Friday, extending their sell-off in the wake of dour economic reports and closing the book on a holiday-shortened week fraught with new tariff threats and worries of softening consumer demand. All three major Wall Street indexes moved decisively lower on the heels of the data. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 748.63 points, or 1.69 per cent, to 43,428.02, the S&P 500 lost 104.39 points, or 1.71 per cent, to 6013.13 and the Nasdaq Composite lost 438.36 points, or 2.20 per cent, to 19,524.01. *********** share futures fell 64 points, or 0.77 per cent, to 12.309. The benchmark S&P/ASX200 index on Friday shed 26.6 points, or 0.32 per cent, to 8296.2, while the broader All Ordinaries fell 30.8 points, or 0.36 per cent, to 8,570.9.

Franklin Templeton files for Solana ETF as crypto interest expands beyond bitcoin Franklin Templeton files for Solana ETF as crypto interest expands beyond bitcoin (Reuters) – Franklin Templeton filed for an exchange-traded fund on Friday that will track the spot price of Solana, reflecting the growing interest among asset managers to profit from the popularity of cryptocurrencies beyond bitcoin. As regulatory conditions ease and a crypto-friendly president takes office, investors are increasingly diving into digital assets and ramping up their search for the next breakout token, following Bitcoin’s remarkable rally. Investment managers are rolling out new products to capitalize on this increasing interest. In January, Grayscale Investments launched a fund tied to Dogecoin, a token the company said has “transitioned from a memecoin … to a tool for global financial inclusion and a viable means of payment”. Solana has gained more than 60% over the past year. Franklin’s ETF, which tracks this cryptocurrency, will be listed on the Cboe BZX Exchange. Franklin has chosen Coinbase as the custodian of its Solana holdings. It declined to comment further.

Opposition Leader Peter Dutton says Liberals will match Labor’s proposed $8.5b Medicare bulk-billing plan Opposition Leader Peter Dutton says Liberals will match Labor’s proposed $8.5b Medicare bulk-billing plan Opposition Leader Peter Dutton says he will “invest an historic $9 billion into Medicare”, matching Labor’s proposed re-election pledge while spruiking a previously announced promise to pour $500 million into mental health support. The Coalition pledge to match the $8.5 million bulk-billing plan “dollar for dollar” came as the Prime Minister Anthony Albanese declared on Sunday that the policy was the “beating heart of our election campaign”. Both major parties have agreed to make trips to the GP for free in what would be the biggest funding injection into Medicare for 40 years. Labor claims the changes would mean nine out of 10 GP visits would be bulk billed by 2030, lifting the bulk billing rate to 90 per cent. It is currently 77.7 per cent. “The Dutton Coalition Government will match the $8.5 billion investment into Medicare dollar-for-dollar to fix Labor’s mess and restore bulk billing back up to Coalition levels,” Mr Dutton said in a joint statement with shadow health minister Anne Ruston on Sunday. “This investment builds on the $500 million commitment already announced by the Coalition to restore critical Medicare funding for mental health support, after it was slashed in half by the Albanese Government.” The measure would boost and expand the funding incentives for GPs to bulk-bill patients with a Medicare card. Currently, it’s only available to concession cardholders such as children under the age of 16 and pensioners. Mr Albanese formally announced the major pre-election pitch at a campaign-style rally in Launceston on Sunday, framing Labor as a party for the people which is tackling the cost-of-living crisis. “Medicare is at the heart of our Government and it will be the beating heart of our election campaign,” he told party faithful in the marginal Liberal-held seat of Bass. “The Liberals spent a decade in government trying to destroy Medicare. “They tried to stop us from making medicines cheaper. They called our urgent care clinics wasteful spending. “Peter Dutton said boosting bulk billing from families was a ‘sugar hit’. “The Liberals will never stop trying to make Australians pay more for their health care. “The only way to protect Medicare, strengthen it and secure it for all is to re-elect our Labor Government.” Also speaking at the event, Health Minister Mark Butler accused Mr Dutton of attempting to abolish bulk billing altogether in 2014. “Australia’s doctors held on for as long as they possibly could under Dutton’s Medicare freeze,” he said. “But when we came to Government almost three years ago, bulk billing was in free fall. A free fall directly caused by Dutton’s Medicare freeze.” Shadow treasurer Angus Taylor had hinted that the Opposition would back the pledge on Sky News on Sunday morning, saying the Coalition “won’t get in the way” of the plan but added the move was Labor “cleaning up the mess it has made”.

Gas leak causes explosion, evacuation around downtown Hutchinson, chief says Gas leak causes explosion, evacuation around downtown Hutchinson, chief says Hutchinson officials evacuated several blocks near and around downtown after a gas leak caused an explosion Saturday at a longtime auto parts store, according to fire chief Steven Beer. Firefighters were called at 9:26 a.m. about a gas odor at Steffens Auto Parts, 428 S. Main. It’s an odorized gas, Beer said. “Upon arrival crews witnessed the building exploded,” Beer said in a news release just after 1 p.m. “Everyone in the structure got out. This fire is a gas fed fire through a (10-inch) natural gas line. The main body of fire at (the auto parts store) has been controlled however the street and sidewalk remains on fire due to the gas leak. Crews went to a defensive operation using unmanned freestreams.” Video and photos online show several water lines all going to fight the fire. One person said on Facebook that her family member, owner Darin Clifford, “evacuated just before it blew up.” The city of Hutchinson evacuated several blocks Saturday around downtown after a large fire at a building on Main Street. The city of Hutchinson said at around 11:50 a.m. that, because of “a large fire in the downtown area,” it was evacuating Avenue A to Avenue F and Plum to Adams. That area could be expanded, Beer said. “All residents and businesses within these boundaries are urged to evacuate immediately for their safety,” the city said on Facebook. Tony Hernandez, who shot video of the fire, said he could smell gas and could see a gas line burning in front of the store. The Hutchinson man said it smelled like propane. Eldon “Butch” Steffens opened Steffens Auto Parts in 1968. Darin Clifford, who started working at Steffens in 1980, purchased the business in 1997 when Butch retired, according to the Hutchinson News. This is a breaking news story and will be updated as more information becomes available.

Treasurer Jim Chalmers to visit US counterpart in Washington DC to talk trade amid tariffs threat Treasurer Jim Chalmers to visit US counterpart in Washington DC to talk trade amid tariffs threat Treasurer Jim Chalmers will fly to Washington on Sunday for critical trade discussions amid the Trump administration’s threats to impose 25 percent tariffs on steel and aluminium. The US trip will mark the first time Mr Chalmers has met with his US counterpart, Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent, in person since President Donald Trump returned to office. Dr Chalmers said trade and tariffs were expected to be a key issue, and while he aimed to secure carve-outs to protect *********** interests, this would not be the sole focus of the meeting. “Trade and tariffs will be part of the conversation but not the whole conversation,” he told ABC Insiders on Sunday. “That’s an ongoing discussion that we’re having with our American counterparts. I don’t expect to conclude those discussions on steel and aluminium while I’m in DC. “But whether it’s the flow of capital or critical minerals and trade — there’s lots to talk about. This is a relationship which benefits both sides, the Americans and the Australians.” In a phone call between the US president and Prime Minister Anthony Albanese earlier this month, Mr Trump said he would consider exempting Australia from 25 per cent tariffs on steel and aluminum because it has a trade surplus with the US. It was seen as a hopeful sign for more moderate trade policies ahead of March 12, when the tariffs are due to commence. Despite positive comments made after the phone call, threats of the tariffs remain after allegations from senior US trade officials that Australia is “flooding” the US market with aluminium — a contravention of a previous agreement. Under the former Liberal Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, Opposition had managed to secure tariff exemptions when negotiating with the first Trump administration. It marks a pressure point for Mr Albanese ahead of the looming Federal election. The then-Liberal *********** government had agreed to place a “ceiling” on the volume of aluminium shipments to the US in order to secure an exemption from those previous tariffs in 2017-18.

Hawaii man freed after 30 years in prison visits mother’s grave and ponders ubiquitous cellphones Hawaii man freed after 30 years in prison visits mother’s grave and ponders ubiquitous cellphones HONOLULU (AP) — One of the first places Gordon Cordeiro visited when a judge ordered him released after spending 30 years in prison for a killing he always maintained he had nothing to do with was his mother’s Hawaii gravesite. In a videoconference interview with The Associated Press on Saturday, Cordeiro reflected on his first day of freedom after new DNA evidence led to the overturning of his conviction in the 1994 shooting of Timothy Blaisdell on the island of Maui. Paulette Cordeiro died in September 1994, and her son was arrested the following month. Trusted news and daily delights, right in your inbox See for yourself — The Yodel is the go-to source for daily news, entertainment and feel-good stories. “Thanks for looking over me,” the son recalled saying at her grave, hours after walking out of the Maui Community Correctional Center. “Keeping me safe.” A photo provided by his sister showed Cordeiro kneeling at their mother’s grave, with a lei he was given upon release draped over the headstone. Inscribed on it were the words, “You were the wind beneath our wings.” Cordeiro said he thought constantly about his mother — who died at age 49 from ALS, often called Lou Gehrig’s disease — during his years behind bars. He and his sisters had taken turns caring for her, and he said he was with her and building shelving units for the family when Blaisdell was fatally shot during a drug deal robbery. After a steak dinner and the gravesite visit, he celebrated with family at his father’s house and then found himself unable to sleep much. The following day he went to other relatives’ graves and planned to go to Costco, he said. “It feels normal,” he said. But the Maui he once knew has changed a lot, Cordeiro said, noting that the historic town of Lahaina was destroyed by a wildfire in 2023. Another thing that has taken some getting used to: “Everybody is looking at their phones.” Cordeiro had just a pager before he went to prison, he said. He now has a smartphone, but “I’m not staring at it yet. It keeps beeping and messages coming in, and it’s different.” There were gasps and cries in the courtroom Friday when Judge Kirstin Hamman announced that his sentence was vacated and he was to be released from custody. She ruled that new evidence, including DNA test results, would likely change the outcome of another trial. Maui County Prosecuting Attorney Andrew Martin says he plans to appeal and seek to have bail imposed on Cordeiro’s release. Cordeiro’s first trial ended in a hung jury, with only one juror voting to convict him. But he was later found guilty of *******, robbery and attempted ******* and sentenced to life without the possibility of parole. After Cordeiro’s conviction, new testing on physical evidence from the scene excluded him as the source of DNA on Blaisdell’s body and other crime scene evidence, the Hawaii Innocence Project said, and a DNA profile of an unidentified person was found on the inside pockets of Blaisdell’s jeans. The judge agreed. “Thank God for new DNA,” Cordeiro said Saturday. “Technology is awesome.” The Zoom interview with the AP was the first time he used the platform and an iPad outside of prison. Someone who knows what Cordeiro is going through reached out to him Friday to offer support in adjusting: Ian Schweitzer, who was freed in 2023 after more than 20 years for a 1991 killing and ***** on the Big Island that he says he did not commit. The two met in prison at one point, according to Cordeiro. “We followed each other’s cases as we were going along,” he said. “We were both living in the same prison, so we both kept up with each other as the process was going.” For now, Cordeiro said, his immediate plans include fixing cars, helping with his dad’s house and “maybe giving back to the community a little bit.” Source link #Hawaii #man #freed #years #prison #visits #mothers #grave #ponders #ubiquitous #cellphones Pelican News View the full article at [Hidden Content] For verified travel tips and real support, visit: [Hidden Content]

2025 Ford F-150 review | The West *********** 2025 Ford F-150 review | The West *********** After letting Ram and Chevrolet get the jump, Ford finally introduced a factory-backed right-hand drive F-150 in Australia in 2023. Camera Icon2025 Ford F-150 Credit: CarExpert Note: This is an updated version of a review that was first published in July 2024. There have been no major changes to pricing or specifications since then. A mid-life refresh is expected to arrive shortly in the first quarter of 2025 (January to March inclusive). We have updated key details such as pricing and specifications with the most up-to-date information available. Read the original version of this review here. WATCH: Paul’s video review of the 2024 Ford F-150 Lariat LWB Teething problems aren’t unusual for a first-year model, but the F-150 has had more than its share between two stop-sales and multiple recalls. Ford is compensating owners who have had to endure them, as it works to rectify a number of predominantly lighting-related compliance breaches. We hope for Ford’s sake these are the last hiccups in the F-150’s rollout. Why? For starters, we feel bad for buyers who have had to put up with this. But the F-150 is also a genuinely good pickup truck that more than stacks up against the Ram 1500 and Chevrolet Silverado 1500. Ford Australia launched the F-150 in just two trim levels and in two lengths, to keep things simple and avoid additional issues. The short-wheelbase XLT on test is as basic as a Ford F-150 gets in Australia, complete with cloth seats, halogen ***********, and regular cruise control. Camera Icon2025 Ford F-150 Credit: CarExpert Ok, so it’s not a farm truck – it still comes with features like power-adjustable front seats and blind-spot monitoring, after all. But in a market where buyers are snapping up Silverado LTZs and Ram 1500 Limiteds, not to mention top-spec versions of ‘regular-sized’ utes, the XLT stands out in either a good or bad way, depending on your point of view. If you’ve read the comments of almost any Ford Australia social media post, you will have seen angry remarks from people who say they won’t buy an F-150 without a V8. We suspect many of these buyers are the same who deride any Mustang without a V8, even though that vehicle has been offered with four- or six-cylinder power since the very first year. You can still buy a V8 F-150 in North America, with a 5.0-litre V8 available, not to mention the supercharged 5.2-litre of the Raptor R. Camera Icon2025 Ford F-150 Credit: CarExpert But Americans got over the must-have-a-V8 thing years ago. While six-cylinder engines have been available in typically low-spec F-150s for decades, the first twin-turbo V6 model launched in the US in 2011. Both the 3.5-litre offered here and the smaller 2.7-litre accounted for around 60 per cent of US-market F-150 sales in 2020. Do we miss the burble of a V8? Sure. But our advice is to get over it, as the V6 is a very good thing. Besides, Ram is ditching its V8 and Toyota already has, leaving just GM if you simply must have a bent-eight. Note: The F-150s pictured in this article haven’t received the rectification work How much does the Ford F-150 cost? For now, the F-150 is offered here with just one engine and two trim levels – XLT and Lariat – though both are available in either short- or long-wheelbase guise.

Let’s talk about the F-150’s tub first. After all, this is a load hauler, right? Camera IconLariat SWB shown Credit: CarExpert The tub in the short-wheelbase F-150 measures 1705mm long, 1656mm wide (1285mm between the arches) and 543mm tall. If you step up to the long-wheelbase model, you get an extra 300mm of length. You get tie-down points in all F-150 models, plus a spray-in bedliner. Only Lariat models get a 12V socket back here, however. The Lariat also boasts a power-opening and closing tailgate. If you need help clambering up into the XLT’s tub, Ford has included a helpful step that folds out of the tailgate. A pole also lifts up to give you something to grab onto. It reminds me of the old wives’ tale of NASA spending buckets of money on a pen for astronauts while Russian cosmonauts simply used a pencil. In short, it seems like a more complicated, likely more expensive to produce solution to a problem Ford Australia solved in the Ranger by just cutting out a bit of the bumper to create a step. Camera Icon2025 Ford F-150 Credit: CarExpert More complex or not, it works well. Another neat touch is the incorporation of a ruler in the moulding of the tailgate – and while this is an American truck, there is thankfully a metric ruler. There are also spaces to slot a drink and pencils. The courtesy white lamps next to the centre high-mounted brake light will be disabled as part of Ford Australia’s rectification work, as they fall foul of *********** Design Rules (ADRs). The XLT has always missed out on the Lariat’s clever Zone Lighting feature, as seen on the Ranger. However, Ford says it’s removing Zone Lighting from all Lariat models as it doesn’t meet ADRs. The base F-150 also has a bright white LED light on the outside of the tailgate, but this appears to be spared from Ford’s required rectification works. It’s easy to step up into the cabin thanks to the side steps and easy-to-grip grab handles. Camera Icon2025 Ford F-150 Credit: CarExpert Visibility out of the F-150 is excellent, with the front of the cabin feeling particularly airy thanks to the beltline dip towards the mirror – a design cue that’s been on F-150s for 20 years now. Those doors are comfortable to lean on, too, with all four of the F-150’s doors featuring soft-touch trim up top. The interior is otherwise primarily finished in hard plastic, but it looks functional yet handsome. No, it doesn’t look upmarket, not helped by the 8.0-inch touchscreen that looks positively lost in the huge dashboard, but overall the interior feels a step above that of the Ranger. There are a swag of different interior materials used here – on the dashboard alone there at least five – and the trim pieces near the power window controls on the doors look a bit like 1990s Laminex. Despite this, the interior isn’t too fussy, nor does it look cheap. Those are cloth seats, but the patterned inserts and two-tone grey colour scheme makes them attractive – at least to my eyes. They’re power-adjustable and comfortable, too.

We didn’t observe any creaks or rattles in the cabin, with the only build quality issue being a bit of plastic flash around the combined light/wiper stalk. Speaking of things sprouting out of the steering column, the F-150 has a traditional column shifter unlike the console-mounted levers or dials found in rivals. It doesn’t feel cheap like the one in the pre-update Silverado, and is solid and satisfying to use, though getting it in and out of park is a little awkward. Ahead of the driver is an 8.0-inch instrument cluster screen and analogue gauges, instead of a 12.0-inch fully digital setup like in the Lariat. While that doesn’t sound as fancy, this is an attractive, legible cluster, and one of the best mixes of analogue and digital. We especially love the attractive blue needles. The infotainment touchscreen is only an 8.0-inch unit instead of a 12.0-inch one like in the Lariat, which also makes it a step down from the cheaper Ranger. Camera Icon2025 Ford F-150 Credit: CarExpertCamera Icon2025 Ford F-150 Credit: CarExpert The controls are all easy to reach, and there are chunky dials for things like volume and climate control adjustment and drive mode selection. Most of the headlight controls are to the right-hand side of the steering column. As is typical of a Ford, the cabin is bathed in soft, blue lighting. And as is typical of an American pickup, there’s storage aplenty. While that doesn’t sound as fancy, this is an attractive, legible cluster, and one of the best mixes of analogue and digital.

And as is typical of an American pickup, there’s storage aplenty. The back seat puts the Ranger’s to shame, and there’s a completely flat floor plus USB-A and USB-C outlets and cupholders at the rear of the centre console. There are also cupholders in the rear doors, though they’re a bit squared-off. We didn’t try, but we suspect a Farmer’s Union would fit perfectly. Ford has fitted its SecuriCode keyless entry keypad on the F-150, allowing you to enter a keycode to unlock the vehicle instead of using your key. It’s a clever feature which Ford introduced all the way back in 1980, and which few bothered to copy. But RMA Automotive, could you not have moved the keypad to the driver’s side? Camera Icon2025 Ford F-150 Credit: CarExpert To see how the Ford F-150 stacks up against its rivals, use our comparison tool What’s under the bonnet? While there are twin-turbo V6 hybrid, electric, and V8 powertrains offered in North America, for now Ford Australia is offering only the twin-turbo 3.5-litre EcoBoost V6. Camera Icon2025 Ford F-150 Credit: CarExpert This actually out-punches the Coyote V8 offered overseas, which has the same amount of power but 122Nm less torque. Ford might brand the engine EcoBoost, but it’s not much more efficient in real-world driving than rival V8s. Across the same drive loop – albeit with slightly different traffic conditions – we achieved 13.7L/100km in a Silverado ZR2, and 13.8L/100km in a Ram 1500 Laramie Sport. The F-150’s payload figure isn’t anything grand. As is quite common for these full-sized American pickup trucks in Australia, the F-150 can’t carry as much as some smaller utes, and you’re going to hit that maximum figure quite quickly once you start loading up the cabin with people and the tub with their stuff. It can tow more than a HiLux-class ute, however, with a braked towing capacity of 4500kg. To see how the Ford F-150 stacks up against its rivals, use our comparison tool How does the Ford F-150 drive? The F-150 is one refined pickup truck. It’s almost as though Ford wanted to counter complaints of the absence of a V8 by making the V6 as smooth as possible. Camera Icon2025 Ford F-150 Credit: CarExpert When the vehicle is idling and you’re outside, it has a lovely, burbly exhaust note. Once you get inside, however, you barely hear the engine. The predominant sound of the engine is the faint whistle of the turbochargers. What you can otherwise hear of the engine sounds good, but it’s exceptionally quiet. The cabin is even quiet at highway speeds. There’s a bit of tyre roar, but surprisingly little wind noise despite the huge, chunky exterior mirrors. The engine mightn’t make a lot of noise, but it produces a lot of thrust. The twin-turbo V6 is effortlessly powerful, and frankly you won’t miss a V8. The 10-speed auto shifts smoothly and unobtrusively for the most part, and helpfully tells you what gear you’re in at any given moment. Camera Icon2025 Ford F-150 Credit: CarExpert The auto will shift to the highest possible gear for the sake of efficiency, and we did observe an annoying habit of holding onto seventh gear on steep descents. In response, I wanted to manually shift gears… but Ford makes this exceedingly difficult. It uses the stupid plus/minus buttons some American brands seem so enamoured with, which never feel as intuitive as flicking a paddle or moving a shifter. Making this even worse is that they are placed on the column shifter, where they’re obscured by the rim of the steering wheel, and you have to awkwardly reach over to press them. Using these feels as awkward as picking something out of soup with your fingers. Also awkward is parking the vehicle. In XLT guise, the F-150 has only a washed-out reversing camera and rear parking sensors. There’s no front camera, nor are there front sensors, which isn’t ideal given the front kind of slopes away and then drops off like a cliff, making it hard to judge where the vehicle ends. Camera Icon2025 Ford F-150 Credit: CarExpert A vehicle this large is already going to be a hassle to park, and the absence of these features is keenly felt. The steering also doesn’t lighten up much at low speeds, while you seem to reach full lock quickly, making it feel especially cumbersome to park. Despite this, once you awkwardly manoeuvre out of a tight carpark and get out on the open road, it doesn’t feel too cumbersome. The steering is nicely weighted, and has some heft to it without being too high-effort. It’s a bit of a cliche, but the F-150 does shrink around you. On some narrower country roads the F-150’s width was noticed – more so by a colleague in the car behind me, who commented it looked like it was going to fall off the road edge. Camera Icon2025 Ford F-150 Credit: CarExpert On these rural roads, the F-150 proved exceptionally comfortable. Once in a while, the rear fidgets a smidge, and there’s a touch of frame shake. So, it’s still a ute then, but this is one very cushy ute. It manages to offer a pliant ride without ever feeling uncontrolled, with only a bit of float over, say, rural bridges. The F-150 is a vehicle you can point at a poorly surfaced road and it’ll just gobble it up, loping along utterly fuss-free. Pothole? What pothole? You’re never jolted around in the F-150, and it proved comfortable when we took it off road as well. We took the F-150 on some dirt forestry trails, as well as some rockier, more challenging trails, getting it muddy in the process. Camera Icon2025 Ford F-150 Credit: CarExpert It’s going to feel a bit wide on some trails, but it always felt comfortable and surefooted. We didn’t take it on anything so challenging we needed to pop it into 4L or lock the rear differential, but that equipment is there if you need it. You can also toggle between slippery, deep snow, sand and mud/ruts drive modes, as well as normal, eco and tow/haul modes. These are all activated via a chunky rotary dial. One significant drawback, particularly if you travel a lot through rural areas, is the use of halogen ***********. Also, unlike the Lariat, the four-wheel drive system in the XLT is only a part-time setup, so there’s no 4A mode you can use on pavement. All F-150 models in Australia come with Ford Pro Trailer Back-Up Assist. Camera Icon2025 Ford F-150 Credit: CarExpertCamera Icon2025 Ford F-150 Credit: CarExpert This allows you to effectively steer your trailer instead of your vehicle provided you equip a yaw sensor to your trailer and then program its parameters on the touchscreen, which you then use to see what’s going on behind you. In previous testing of this feature, we found it to be clever but unfortunately a bit harder to use in XLT models due to their smaller, lower-resolution touchscreen. To see how the Ford F-150 stacks up against its rivals, use our comparison tool What do you get? There’s quite a bit less standard kit in the XLT than the Lariat, but for around $33,000 more the top-spec F-150 would want to have more equipment… Camera Icon2025 Ford F-150 Credit: CarExpertCamera Icon2025 Ford F-150 Credit: CarExpertCamera Icon2025 Ford F-150 Credit: CarExpertCamera Icon2025 Ford F-150 Credit: CarExpert F-150 XLT standard equipment: Integrated trailer brake controller4.5t-rated tow hitch and 70mm tow ballPro Trailer Back-up AssistElectronic locking rear differential2 x front recovery hooksSkid plates for front differential, transfer case and fuel tank20-inch alloy wheels in 275/60 R20 BSW ATT all-terrain tyres18-inch alloy spare wheelAutomatic halogen headlightsTailgate step, rulerSpray-in tub linerElectronic park brakeKeypad entryProximity entry with push-button startFordPass ConnectRear privacy glassCloth upholstery12-way power driver’s seat with power lumbar10-way power passenger seat with power lumbarPower-adjustable pedalsDual-zone climate control8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment systemApple CarPlay and Android Auto8.0-inch digital instrument cluster screenSatellite navigationDAB+ digital radio7-speaker sound systemTilt and telescopic steering wheel adjustmentElectro-chromatic rear-view mirrorStorage under rear seats To see how the Ford F-150 stacks up against its rivals, use our comparison tool Is the Ford F-150 safe?

The F-150 is backed by a five-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty. Camera Icon2025 Ford F-150 Credit: CarExpert Servicing is required every 12 months or 15,000 kilometres, whichever comes first, with the first four services capped at $429 each. That’s in stark contrast with rival Ram and Chevrolet pickups, where there’s no capped-price servicing available. To see how the Ford F-150 stacks up against its rivals, use our comparison tool CarExpert’s Take on the Ford F-150 The Ford F-150 is a very good pickup truck that has been let down by a lousy rollout. Camera Icon2025 Ford F-150 Credit: CarExpert Not only did Ford wait until after GM and Stellantis entered the pickup market in Australia, it also used a different company for the local remanufacturing that has made some rookie errors when it comes to compliance. One wonders why Ford didn’t simply use Walkinshaw, as GM, Stellantis and Toyota have done. If this was to save a buck, between recalls, compliance fixes and stop-sales that call has backfired spectacularly. We hope this is the last of the issues with the F-150’s local remanufacturing, as this deserves to be as successful as the likes of the 1500 and Silverado. Camera Icon2025 Ford F-150 Credit: CarExpert Ok, so the smaller engine doesn’t work out to be that much more efficient in real-world use than the Ram 1500’s V8, and it doesn’t sound as good. The XLT also has some strange feature omissions for a vehicle this expensive – the lack of front parking sensors and a front camera, for example, make this a real pain to park. But this is an impressively refined vehicle which, parking aside, is particularly user-friendly. It’s powerful and comfortable, while undercutting its major rivals on price and offering a more generous after-sales package. The Ford F-Series pickup range is the US’ best-selling vehicle for a reason, and it’s a shame that a clumsy rollout may have damaged the truck’s reputation.

Viral TikTok warns green card holders after woman says her niece was deported at LAX Viral TikTok warns green card holders after woman says her niece was deported at LAX The Brief A viral TikTok is warning green card holders after a woman said her niece was deported at LAX. Others are warning against signing form I-407, which an immigration attorney says forfeits your rights. Customs officials are only allowed to ask you about your identity, your permanent resident status, and about what you’re carrying. LOS ANGELES – A viral TikTok video is serving as a warning for green card holders about what not to do at the airport, after a woman claims her niece had her green card taken away at LAX. Now, advocates are offering tips to help green card holders know their rights, and what not to do if you’re traveling abroad. The viral TikTok The backstory In a now-viral TikTok video that has more than 2.5 million views, a woman claims her niece, a nursing student and green card holder, was deported when she returned to LAX from Laos. “Customs stopped her, took away her green card, cut the corner off, put her in a room with three other people, and told one of them that if you’ve been a green card holder for less than two years and leave the U.S. they won’t let you back,” the woman claims. “They take away your green card.” Can green card holders travel abroad? What we know Immigration attorney Jose Osorio, who is not involved in the woman’s case, explains that green card holders can typically travel abroad for up to 180 days without issue. However, he warns that some travelers have been pressured upon reentry into the U.S. to sign documents like the I-407. What is Form I-407? Form I-407 is issued by the Department of Homeland Security. It’s called a “Record of Abandonment of Lawful Permanent Resident Status” Filling out the I-407 voluntarily surrenders your lawful status as a permanent resident of the U.S. “They can be interrogated alone, without legal counsel, and sometimes, due to misinformation or desperation, they unknowingly sign away their rights,” Osorio said. Many on social media are warning against signing the form. “If they ask you to sign an I-407, don’t do it,” one man advises. “You have the right to request to see an immigration judge.” Another person adds, “So many people sign documents without reading them. That’s why I’m putting this out today—make sure you don’t sign anything.” What are your rights as a green card holder? Dig deeper Osorio stresses that many travelers have unknowingly forfeited their rights. He says that customs officials are only authorized to ask three types of questions: Proof of permanent resident status Standard customs-related questions, such as whether a traveler is bringing foreign food into the country or carrying more than $10,000 in currency. “Bottom line—know your rights,” Osorio said. “Don’t sign anything waiving them. If you don’t understand it, don’t sign it.” Only an immigration judge has the authority to revoke a person’s resident status. However, if someone signs away their rights at the airport, there is little that can be done to reverse it. FOX 11 has reached out to Immigration and Customs Enforcement for comment, but they have not responded. The Source Information in this story is taken from the I-407 form on the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services website, and a Feb. 20 interview with immigration attorney Jose Osorio.
