The average full-time annual income in Australia is $98,098 as of November 2023, based on Australian Bureau of Statistics' weekly earnings figures.

The long-awaited Wittenoom Closure Bill has passed WA Parliament and will allow the state government to acquire and demolish the final 14 properties in the town.
