Australian telco Vocus receives government nod for TPG Telecom deal
The deal, first announced in 2024, received approval from Australia's competition regulator in March, positioning Vocus as one of the country's largest owners of underground fibre infrastructure.
The acquisition will allow Vocus to connect nearly 20,000 buildings across Australia.
Monday's clearance from the Foreign Investment Review Board marked the final regulatory approval needed for the transaction to proceed, TPG said in a statement.
Shares of TPG Telecom ended flat, while the broader ASX 200 index closed 0.2% lower.

$649 Bunnings plant stuns Aussie gardening enthusiast: 'Never seen that before'
Bunnings is well known for its tagline promising low prices compared to its competitorat, but one shopper was stunned by the price of a single plant at his local store. Micka, a plant enthusiast from the NSW Central Coast, popped into the hardware giant's Tuggerah store to add a few more plants to his collection when one in particular caught his eye — an espalier camellia. The business owner thought the large plant, grown onto a trellis, would make the perfect backdrop for videos he makes to share online. That is until he saw the $649 price tag. "That's the most expensive plant I've ever seen," he told Yahoo News. For the past five years, Micka, who runs a popular online community about Bunnings plants, has dedicated his "whole life" to his love of gardening. He's even started a business selling rare varieties of house plants and care products among his community of nearly 180,000 followers. "I go to Bunnings pretty regularly," he said. "I was looking for a background [for my videos] and thought [the espalier camellia's] looked sick. But it was $600 and I thought 'I can't afford that'." Before spotting this plant, the most expensive plants he'd seen at the hardware store were Thai constellation monsteras, a highly sought-after variegated form of the Monstera deliciosa house plant. Sharing the price discovery online, many were quick to explain to Micka that it takes a long time to grow and train the plants, hence the price tag. Espalier refers to the artistic way the plants are pruned and trained to grow up a trellis or flat wall. Camellias are popular espaliers due to their masses of flowers and evergreen foliage. "I've never seen anything like that before in Bunnings," he said, admitting that he is still thinking about the plant. Espalier camellias take up to eight years to be trained and grow on the trellis using hundreds of small clips. They are pruned up to four times yearly, as well as fertilised regularly and re-potted at least three times before they are listed for sale. They're also considerably heavy, which adds to transport costs. Smaller camellias can be bought at the store for as cheap as $4.93 for the 70mm size. Micka admitted that his plant obsession costs him around $1,000 a month at Bunnings. "It's not just on plants, but plant stuff," he explained. "Every time you go into Bunnings, you walk out with stuff you don't go there for. It's an outing for me. I get the sausage sizzle and go for a wander." The single dad has over 200 house plants, and admits "it's my whole life". Do you have a story tip? Email: newsroomau@ You can also follow us on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Twitter and YouTube.

‘Not feasible': Bank axes more branches
The bank running Australia's third-largest network of branches will shut 10 branches in the coming months. Bendigo Bank will axe nine regional branches and one in Melbourne from early August to late October. The bank said it was 'proud of its regional heritage' but pointed to fewer people using the branches and higher business costs as reasons to shut the doors. In February, the federal government struck a deal with the big four banks (ANZ, NAB, Commonwealth and Westpac) to not shut any more regional branches until mid-2027, as about one-third of regional outlets have closed since 2017. 'To preserve what makes our bank unique, we must balance our physical network presence with the need to continue investing in the changing preferences of our 2.7 million customers,' Bendigo Bank chief executive Richard Fennell said. Bendigo ran the most branches of any bank in the country per customer, Mr Fennell said, plus the second-largest regional network and third-largest overall network across the country. 'We are proud of our regional heritage and in order to continue delivering for our customers and communities, we must ensure our branches are adequately supported and resourced,' he said. Branches at Malop St in Geelong, the South Melbourne branch and Kings Meadows in Tasmania will shut on August 1. Korumburra in South Gippsland will shut on the last Friday in August. Bannockburn and Yarram in regional Victoria will shut in late September, as will Malanda and Tully North in Queensland, and Queenstown in Tasmania. Ballarat Central will be the final of the 10 to shut, on October 31. The bank said it was 'actively exploring' opportunities to find its workers new jobs within the company. The closure leaves Korumburra without a physical bank in a town of just less than 5000 people; residents will have to drive 15km to the next town to see and speak to a teller. It is a similar story for Bannockburn's 6400 residents, but they will need to drive more than 20km into Geelong. Malanda residents are being presented with a similar scenario, with the closest bank branch in the next town 20km away. Bendigo Bank said customers could still bank at any one of 3500 Australia Post stores. Federal Liberal MP Mary Aldred represents the seat of Monash and the town of Korumburra. 'For many of my constituents, including older Australians, people with a disability and small business owners, face-to-face banking remains essential,' she wrote in a letter to the Bendigo Bank boss. 'Travelling to another town to access a branch is just not feasible for many of your customers.' Ms Aldred urged the bank boss to reconsider the closure and talk to Korumburra residents about the effects. 'The branch is the last remaining bank in Korumburra. The closure will leave the Korumburra community … (with) serious disadvantages for residents and businesses alike,' she said.
