Good morning, and welcome to Perth in 5 minutes. I'm bringing you up to speed on what's happening across the city today. Perth employers are taking a closer look at artificial intelligence hiring tools right now, weighing up the benefits of efficiency against concerns about fairness in the job-hunting experience. It's a conversation that's raising important questions about the future of recruitment in our city. In positive news for housing, Foundation Housing and their development partner H-U have secured planning approval for a major social housing project in East Fremantle. The $21 million expansion will make a real difference for the community. And finally, global auctioneer Ritchie Bros is strengthening its Perth operations after completing an $11 million acquisition. They've secured a Midland site that will expand their equipment auction business right here in Western Australia. That's what's happening in Perth today. Enjoy your Wednesday.
