Australia news LIVE: Oil prices hit $100 for first time in months; Tens of thousands flee wildfire in France

The Sydney Morning Herald reports on multiple developments across various domains. In international affairs, oil prices have risen above $100 per barrel for the first time in months due to tensions involving Houthi rebels attacking Saudi oil tankers in the Red Sea, leading to warnings from U.S. President Donald Trump regarding potential retaliatory actions against Iran and its allies. Domestically, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese attended a private dinner with a wealthy individual whose father faced allegations of financial misconduct related to Chinese funds. Regarding defense, concerns persist about delays in the production of Virginia-class submarines under the AUKUS agreement, despite increased funding for the U.S. defense industry. In business news, Macquarie Group CEO Shemara Wikramanayake is set to retire, having accumulated significant wealth during her tenure. Internationally, over 20,000 people in southern France had to evacuate due to rapid-spreading wildfires exacerbated by extreme heat and dry conditions, with similar incidents reported in Spain, Italy, and near Paris.
