Colombia's capital, Bogotá, will begin rationing water this week as several of its reservoirs face unprecedented lows amid a drought made worse by the El Niño climate pattern.

Speaking to the media on Monday, Bogotá Mayor Carlos Fernando Galán said reservoirs had reached "historically low" levels and been worsened by El Niño, which causes high temperatures and impedes precipitation.

Starting Thursday morning, restrictions or rationing measures will be put in place for Bogotá residents and dozens of towns and municipalities surrounding the capital, according to a handout on the city's official website.

The measures will affect around nine million people.

The country and region have experienced long periods without rain since June 2023 due to El Niño, the city wrote on its official website.

Colombian President Gustavo Petro issued a natural disaster decree in January, allowing the government to access more resources to combat El Niño's devastating effects, including wildfires and water stress.

The plan will see nine different zones take turns rationing water services. Each zone's water restrictions will begin at 8 a.m. local time and last 24 hours before shifting to the next zone in line.

Hospitals and schools will have contingency plans, Galán said on X, ensuring they won't lack water.

"The critical levels of the reservoirs from which we draw drinking water for Bogotá lead us to take measures aimed at saving water and reducing consumption from 17 cubic meters per second to 15," Galán's post read.

"This must be the beginning of a behavioural change that is sustainable over time and guarantees that water is enough for everyone," he continued.

Colombia joins Mexico, whose own capital, Mexico City, has also been experiencing a severe water crisis due to years of abnormally low rainfall, longer dry periods and high temperatures.

Younger Australians are becoming the country's most active property investors, with many happy to take the financial plunge alone, new research has found.

Figures by the Commonwealth Bank showed millennials, people born between 1981 and 1996, accounted for 46 per cent of its new property investors last year.

They were followed by followed by Gen X, those born from 1965 to 1980, who made up 37 per cent of all new investment property purchases throughout the calendar year.

The average age of property investors in Australia was 43 years, and the average loan size was just above $500,000.

The research suggests younger Aussies are dropping avocado on toast in favour of home ownership despite record property prices and severe cost-of-living pressures.

And many of them are choosing to purchase property on their own, Commonwealth Bank's executive general manager home buying, Michael Baumann, said.

"From our data, we can see that almost one-third of all millennial property investors actually purchased their investment property on their own," he said.

During the past year, Australian Bureau of Statistics data found lending to property investors grew by 18.5 per cent.

Lending to first home buyers increased 13.2 per cent, while owner-occupiers recorded a 3.4 per cent rise.

Nationally, the top postcodes for new property investment purchases last year were 2000 (Sydney CBD, including Haymarket); 3029 (West Melbourne, including Hoppers Crossing); 2765 (North West Sydney, including Marsden Park), 3064 (North Melbourne, including Craigieburn), and 2155 (North West Sydney, including Kellyville).

In the past year, house prices in Australia have risen 8.8 per cent.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has escalated his pledge to invade the southern Gaza city of Rafah, saying a date has been set for the ground offensive into the city filled with around 1.4 million Palestinians, most of whom are displaced from other parts of the Gaza Strip.

The United States, Israel's closest ally, has said a ground operation into Rafah would be a mistake and has demanded to see a credible plan to protect civilians.

Israel's offensive has pushed Gaza into a humanitarian crisis, displacing over 80 per cent of the population and leaving more than one million people on the brink of starvation.

International efforts to broker a ceasefire between Israel and the militant group Hamas are taking place in Cairo this week.

Egyptian officials said on Tuesday that mediators have presented a new ceasefire proposal to Hamas and Israel that would include a six-week pause in fighting and a swap of 40 Hamas-held hostages for at least 700 Palestinians imprisoned by Israel.

Israel says more than 130 hostages remain in Gaza, with about a quarter of those believed dead.

The Palestinian death toll from the war has passed 33,200, with nearly 76,000 wounded, Gaza's Health Ministry said.

The ministry doesn't differentiate between civilians and combatants in its tally, but says women and children make up two-thirds of the dead.

The war began October 7 when Hamas-led militants stormed into southern Israel, killing some 1200 people, mostly civilians, and taking around 250 people hostage.

Brittany Higgins' lawyers have urged a court to reject credit attacks by her alleged rapist Bruce Lehrmann, saying her conduct was consistent with someone suffering trauma.

Higgins' barrister Nicholas Owens SC defended her "unwavering, consistent and clear account" of the alleged rape in submissions made public by the Federal Court ahead of Monday's judgment.

Owens argued because Higgins was only a witness in Lehrmann's defamation case against Network Ten — and not the party suing or being sued — she could not fully respond to attacks on her credibility.

Any claimed inconsistencies in her statements had not been properly examined through evidence, particularly of her mental health or reasons for altered perceptions and memories, he wrote.

Lehrmann's submissions that Higgins was dishonest should be "decisively rejected", Owens wrote.

"Much of the conduct that Mr Lehrmann contends is dishonest is in fact entirely consistent with Ms Higgins having been raped."

How Higgins acted, including by neglecting to visit a doctor after the alleged rape, reflected how a person's memory and conduct could be affected by traumatic events, he argued.

"For the court to treat the credit attacks made against Ms Higgins as a reason to disbelieve her about her rape would be to use a consequence of that rape as a basis to deny its occurrence," he wrote.

Higgins alleges Lehrmann raped her in a Parliament House office in March 2019 while the pair were working for Liberal senator Linda Reynolds.

He denies the allegation and a criminal trial was abandoned in 2022 because of juror misconduct, leaving no findings against him.

Justice Michael Lee had been set to hand down one of the most anticipated judgments in the nation on April 4.

But he postponed the decision until Monday after Ten brought in new evidence regarding Lehrmann's 2023 Spotlight interview with the Seven Network.

The judge reopened the case and last week heard allegations Lehrmann abused the processes of the court by leaking private, confidential texts from Higgins before his interview.

During the reopened trial, ex-Seven producer Taylor Auerbach claimed he saw Lehrmann buying cocaine and ordering sex workers in a Sydney hotel paid for by the network.

In an affidavit, Auerbach said Lehrmann sent him messages between Higgins and a former boyfriend and later messages between her and journalist Peter FitzSimons.

These texts made up part of a confidential police file offered to Lehrmann during the criminal trial and for which he gave an implicit promise not to use for any other purpose, the court heard.

Auerbach's lawyer Rebekah Giles filed submissions with the court which were made public on Tuesday.

In that document, she rejected Seven's claims her client was motivated by vengeance or some other ill-will towards the broadcaster in coming forward to give evidence.

His claims had not been shown to be false, including allegations Seven paid Lehrmann for massages and drugs before the Spotlight interview, the solicitor said.

The former Liberal staffer could have personally responded to the claims in court but chose not to, Giles argued.

"His silence was deafening such that the court should find that his evidence could not have assisted him."

In his case against Ten and journalist Lisa Wilkinson, Lehrmann claims he was defamed by a February 2021 interview on The Project with Higgins.

He is seeking substantial damages, saying his reputation was ruined.

But lawyers for Ten and Wilkinson have argued Lehrmann is a liar whose credibility was shot and who abused the processes of the court because of the leaked material and false claims.

Australians are working longer and retiring more gradually, which experts say is easing the pressure on the aged pension.

The average retirement age is the highest it has been since the early 1970s at 66.2 years old for men and 64.8 years old for women.

Melbourne is the city with the highest average retirement age for men at just below 67 years.

Perth has the highest average retirement age for women at 65-and-a-half years.

"The current age we're seeing this year is the highest since the early 70s, so 50 years," KPMG urban economist Terry Rawnsley said.

"It's not like the old days where you'd hit 65 and they'd say, 'Here's your gold watch and see ya later'.

"It's much more of a nuanced transition.

"We see in the data the number of hours people are working starts to drop off.

"We start to be able to transition from full-time work to part-time work."

The retirement age is expected to continue to rising and in 20 years it is expected to be closer to 70 but with an increasing mix of work and enjoyment.
