Bonza staff have been stood down and told they won't be paid for work done in April, on the same day it emerged the airline received default notices two weeks before it cancelled all flights without notice and went into voluntary administration.

Transport Workers' Union (TWU) national assistant secretary Emily McMillan labelled the move to not pay workers "disgraceful."

"The shock of Bonza falling into administration has barely subsided and workers are being forced to enter Centrelink queues," she said.

"It's appalling that Bonza has failed workers so spectacularly and that aviation workers are once again paying the price for a broken industry.

"These are hardworking people with bills to pay and families to feed. They are highly trained. This is a devastating blow and a cause for great worry in a cost-of-living crisis.

"Bonza's administrators must strain every sinew to find the means to pay these workers urgently. There is no greater priority than this."

Late last night, Hall Chadwick, which was appointed as administrators on Tuesday, said the budget airline was handed notices on April 17 by the company that owns its planes, AIP Capital.

Bonza continued selling tickets in the 12 days between receiving the notice and cancelling all of its flights.

It didn't expect to have its aircraft seized despite the notice, Hall Chadwick said.

"On 29 April 2024, at 11.51 pm AEST, the lessors of the aircraft leased to the Company (Bonza) issued notices to the company terminating their leases in place for the aircraft," a statement from the administrators said. 

"Amongst various other requirements, these notices required the company to immediately cease to operate the aircraft and keep the aircraft grounded and safely secured. 

"Whilst these notices were preceded by event of default notices issued on 17 April 2024, the directors of the company have advised the action taken by the lessors was not foreshadowed or expected."

More than 3000 Bonza passengers had to find alternate flights with Australia's other airlines following the sudden cancellations on Tuesday, federal Transport Minster Catherine King said.

Discussions between Bonza and AIP are continuing, with planes to remain grounded until at least next Tuesday.

Hall Chadwick said Bonza doesn't have enough money to continue operations while its planes are stuck on the tarmac, and that most of its roughly 150 staff have been stood down.

"Meetings between the administrators, the interested parties and the lessors are continuing daily," the administrators said. 

"During this time, whilst the aircraft remain grounded, and there is insufficient cash flow and funding, the administrators are unable to recommence full operations. 

"The administrators also have no alternative but to stand down the majority of the employees of the company, pending the outcome of these above ongoing discussions."

Hall Chadwick said it was unable to detail Bonza's current financial position.

It repeated yesterday's message that customers won't be given refunds anytime soon.

"The processing or issuing of refunds from the company cannot occur at this time,' it said. 

"Customers who have had their flights cancelled should contact their financial institution to discuss available options. 

"Customers may also wish to liaise with any insurance providers, in the event they have travel insurance for the bookings."

Almost a quarter of Australian homeowners are concerned about having to sell their properties due to cost of living pressures, as a new report revealed rising interest rates have cost mortgage holders a collective $60 billion in less than two years.

According to a survey by financial comparison service Compare the Market, 21 per cent of homeowners have sold or are worried about having to do so.

The company's economic director, David Koch, said it was the result of millions of people falling off the fixed rate cliff – having their fixed-rate mortgages expire and roll over to higher variable rates.

However, he said it would be unlikely for all of those concerned homeowners to actually end up selling.

"Many people's savings buffers have been depleted, and now they're struggling to meet repayments," Koch said.

"But a forced sale is really the last resort – most homeowners will fight tooth and nail to hold onto their properties.

"We know (stage three) tax cuts are coming in July, which should provide some relief. A predicted cash rate cut is hopefully underway in the second half of this year too."

The survey comes as fellow comparison service Mozo released a report into the total cost of the Reserve Bank's string of interest rate rises since May 2022.

It found the 13 hikes have cost Australian homeowners a collective $60 billion in increased mortgage repayments in less than two years – or roughly $3 billion a month.

"In comparison to other economies, Aussies really feel the pinch of every cash rate hike, and this can be seen in the exorbitant amount of interest now being paid on mortgages down under," Mozo banking and rates expert Peter Marshall.

The Reserve Bank will hold its next meeting on interest rates on Monday and Tuesday.

While another hike is unlikely despite recent higher-than-expected quarterly inflation data, a cut isn't expected until around November.

"It's highly unlikely the RBA will hike the cash rate for a 14th time, but they'll certainly be indicating the risk of a hike in their statement next Tuesday," Marshall said.

"Announcing the risk of another rate hike is part of the effort to produce the same consequences, without having to actually hike the cash rate again, as the RBA won't want to increase the cash rate unless it's really necessary."

A young girl battling ovarian cancer and her best friend are on a mission to raise as much money as they can for the Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation.

Tirion, aged 11, was diagnosed with stage four ovarian cancer three days before Christmas in 2023.

She has undergone three surgeries and four rounds of chemotherapy since then.

Her best friend Chloe has pledged to shave her hair off in support of Tirion, as part of a fundraiser for the Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation.

The girls spoke to Ben Fordham on 2GB this morning, with Tirion saying she was "very surprised" that Chloe wanted to shave her hair.

"The first thing I said to myself was 'I don't think I'll meet many friends like Chloe in my lifetime' and I was very proud of her," she told Fordham.

"It means the world to me, if there's anything I could say to her, it's on bad days…(she) makes them feel way better."

The pair have been inseparable since Chloe moved to Yowie Bay Public School in year one.

"She was sitting on a seat alone so I came to sit with her and it built on that," Tirion said.

Chloe said she wasn't that worried about chopping off her belly-length hair for a good cause.

"Look honestly, I'm not that scared," she said.

"The other day at Westfields…we saw a girl with extremely long hair down to her knees, when I saw that I thought 'I'm not making that big of a sacrifice.'"

Tirion has won her school's kindness award twice and was also named school captain.

"She's definitely not like most people, she's very funny, kind…she's got a lot of funny jokes," Chloe said about her best friend.

The girl's original goal was to raise $10,000.

Donations jumped to $32,000 while they were on Ben Fordham Live.

At the time of writing, $48,678 had been raised.

"I'd like to say thank you to the hospital staff who looked after me in the hospital, and I want to say thank you to the community and everyone around Australia that's donating right now," Tirion said.

Chloe will shave her head next Wednesday on World Ovarian Cancer Day in the 2GB studio.

"In support of Tirion's bravery and courage I am asking for Sponsorship and Donations for the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund and in turn I will shave my hair off on 8 May 2024 which is World Ovarian Cancer Day," the fundraiser reads.

"Childhood Ovarian Cancer is extremely rare and your support to help develop testing and early diagnosis of this terrible cancer would be greatly appreciated.

"Your donation could be that dollar that saves another young child or woman battling this disease."

Car sales continue to surge in Australia, with 97,202 models sold during April, according to data from the Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries.

The man accused of murdering Victorian woman Samantha Murphy has been hit with fresh charges over an unrelated incident last year.

Patrick Orren Stephenson, 22, has been charged by police on summons with drink and drug driving offences following a single-vehicle motorcycle crash in Ballarat on October 1, the day after the AFL grand final.

He has also been charged with careless driving. The charges do not relate to Murphy's disappearance.

Stephenson was charged with one count of murder in March over the disappearance of Murphy, 51.

The mother was last seen leaving her home on Eureka Street in Ballarat East to go for a run in the Canadian State Forest on February 4.

Despite extensive searches, her body has never been found.

9News understands Stephenson is not cooperating with the investigation.

Stephenson, the son of former AFL player Orren Stephenson, remains in custody.
