(Reuters) - Dexus, Australia's largest office landlord, on Tuesday pitched the country as a safe harbour for investors amid geopolitical uncertainty, as it aims to sell A$2 billion of assets in three years in a faltering commercial property market.

The Sydney-listed company said it had completed a quarter of its divestment plan, as it reported a 13.9% drop in adjusted funds from operations — its preferred performance metric — for the six-month period ended December 31.

Three years of high interest rates and the impact of incentives - strategies office landlords use to lure or retain tenants - contributed to the earnings decline. However, the company said that anticipated rate cuts and stabilising office demand should slow the earnings downturn.

"The market is, from an investment point of view, kind of bottoming," said Dexus CEO Ross Du Vernet in an interview.

"Investors have had a lot of reason to sit on the sidelines the past few years (but) some certainty of the rate cycle turning, as seen in a rate cut, will be important," he added.

Du Vernet said he expects Australia to benefit from inbound and domestic mergers and acquisitions demand, as trade and regulatory upheaval spearheaded by U.S. President Donald Trump fuelled uncertainty in markets around the world.

"Within that global investment universe of uncertainty, Australia is actually pretty well-positioned (due to) diversification in our economy, strong population growth, our geographical remoteness in some respects, rule of law and stability in government," he said.

Shares of Dexus were down 0.8% by mid-session trade, against a slightly weaker overall market.

Despite the decline in adjusted funds from operations (AFFO), Dexus swung back to a profit of A$10.3 million for the half year, bouncing back from a A$597.2 million loss in the previous corresponding period, citing lower fair valuation losses.

Dexus declared an interim distribution of 19 Australian cents per security and reaffirmed its AFFO outlook for the full financial year ending in June, expecting between 44.5 and 45.5 Australian cents per share, down from 48 cents last year.

Emma Bunton and Mel B 'reunited in South Korea'
Emma Bunton and Mel B 'reunited in South Korea'
Emma Bunton and Mel B reunited in November to take part in a reality TV show. The 49-year-old pop star and Mel secretly flew to Seoul, South Korea, in late 2024, when they sang alongside K-pop idols for a TV show. A source told The Sun newspaper: "A Spice Girls reunion is a way off. "So having Emma and Mel back on stage singing a Spice Girls song together might be the closest fans get to a comeback, even though it will be with K-pop stars rather than Geri Horner, Melanie C and Victoria Beckham. "They flew to South Korea at the end of last year and were on set for quite a few days as they battled it out with other pop veterans. "With them alone on board, it is a big show. But there’s also Boy George and loads of other chart-topping stars, which will be enough to encourage people to tune in." The reality show will air on Apple TV and will also feature the likes of Megan Thee Stallion and Psy, the 'Gangnam Style' singer. Meanwhile, Melanie recently revealed that she's ready to "start planning" a Spice Girls reunion. The 51-year-old singer would love to reunite with her bandmates to mark the 30th anniversary of 'Wannabe', the group's 1996 hit single. Melanie told Rebecca Judd On Apple Music 1: "There has to be something befitting of 30 years since ‘Wannabe’. "Once a Spice Girl, always a Spice Girl. We all feel like that, but we now are getting together because we know if we're going to do anything, we have to start planning things to get things right. "We have to start making the plans right now and putting them into action. So fingers crossed."

Though, honestly, I can't blame NFL teams for not waiting until the last minute. Early birds get the worm, you snooze and you lose ... oh, you get it.

Tracy Morgan taken out of New York Knicks game in wheelchair
Tracy Morgan was taken out of a New York Knicks game in a wheelchair after appearing to fall ill during the game. The 56-year-old comic was sitting courtside at Madison Square Garden on Monday (17.03.25) when, according to photos and footage circulating online, he began vomiting onto the floor. He was then taken out of the arena in a wheelchair holding what appeared to be a red-stained white towel to his face, with one poster on X sharing that he had a nose bleed. The spectator posted alongside a photo: "Tracy Morgan getting wheeled out from courtside at MSG .. bleeding from nose .. could barely stand up … hope he’s ok (sic)" The game - which saw the Knicks beat Miami Heat 116-95 - was delayed for around 10 minutes in the third quarter due to the former '30 Rock' actor's medical incident. A spokesperson for the star has yet to comment on what happened or offer an update on his condition. A Madison Square Garden representative told People magazine: "We hope Tracy feels better soon and look forward to seeing him back courtside." This isn't the first time Tracy - who has diabetes and underwent a kidney transplant in 2010 - has experienced public medical issues. In 2012, he collapsed outside a building at the Sundance Film Festival, with his representative saying it was due to a combination of exhaustion and altitude. Tracy - who returned to work a few days later - posted on social media afterwards: “Superman ran into a little kryptonite. The high altitude in Utah shook up this kid from Brooklyn." And in 2014, he broke his leg and was in a coma for two weeks, later relearning how to walk and talk, after the limo he was riding in was hit from behind by a Walmart truck on the New Jersey Turnpike. Tragically, his friend, fellow passenger James McNair, was killed in the accident. Truck driver Kevin Roper - who hadn't slept for 28 hours when he crashed - later accepted a plea deal to complete 300 hours of community service in order to avoid trial. The former 'Saturday Night Live' star previously expressed his forgiveness towards the driver. He told People magazine on the 10th anniversary of the crash last year: “I want to say to everyone who was in the van with me that night I love you, and we miss you, Uncle Jimmy Mac and God bless your family. "And to the driver that night and his family, me and my comrades forgive you."
