They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

New Australian anti-money laundering laws will apply and will be compulsory from 1 July 2026

These changes are part of a national reform and apply across Australia. They are designed to help prevent property transactions being used for fraud or other criminal activity.

Conveyancers, Solicitors, Real Estate Agents and Accountant, just to name a few, will all be required to meet the anti-money laundering laws from 1 July 2026.

We understand that buying or selling a property can already feel complex. We’ll guide you through these new changes to make things as smooth as possible!

We came across this today.
This is very true, that even us in the industry have not been told what the ‘technical’ issue is/was.

It is very unfortunate that this issue caused further issues and some of yesterday’s settlements still were not able to proceed today and still there was nothing we as conveyancers could do other than sit wait and hope

Government Failure Exposed by National Payment System Breakdown

Yesterday’s failure of Australia’s central payment infrastructure is not a “technical issue” — it is a government failure that directly harmed everyday Australians.

Property settlements across the country were unable to proceed because the system that moves settlement funds did not function. That means:

Families could not move into homes

Sellers were not paid

Contracts due to complete were thrown into uncertainty

Australians were left in financial and legal limbo

This is not a private bank error. This is not a conveyancing issue. This sits at the level of national financial infrastructure.

And the most alarming part? Silence.

No immediate national address.
No urgent public briefing.
No clear explanation of what failed or how it was allowed to happen.

Australians are expected to meet deadlines, pay penalties, and comply with strict financial and legal obligations. Yet when the system controlled and overseen by government institutions fails, there is no immediate accountability.

That is a double standard.

The government regulates every aspect of property transactions — lending rules, settlement timeframes, compliance obligations — yet it has failed to ensure the most basic requirement: that the money can actually move.

This failure shows:

Lack of resilience in critical financial infrastructure

Lack of contingency planning

Lack of transparency

Lack of respect for the public impact

Property settlement is not a luxury transaction. It is the moment Australians secure housing, access life savings, and complete major financial commitments. When that system collapses, it is not an inconvenience — it is a breach of public trust.

People First is calling for:

1. An immediate public explanation of the failure
2. Disclosure of how long the issue was known
3. A full review of national payment system resilience
4. Mandatory public communication protocols for financial infrastructure outages
5. Accountability from the institutions responsible

Australians can tolerate problems. What they will not tolerate is government systems failing while the public is left in the dark.

This is about more than a missed settlement day.
This is about whether Australians can trust the financial systems their homes and livelihoods depend on.

Confidence in the system cannot exist without accountability.

People First stands with the families, buyers, and sellers who were impacted — and demands answers.
