Last update: 3 hours ago

Health Emergency: Australia is preparing an emergency health support package after diphtheria cases topped 220 nationwide this year—described as the biggest outbreak in decades—prompting a push to lift vaccination coverage and surge workforce support, especially in remote Indigenous communities. Community & Wellbeing: A major national survey finds almost 60% of parents are experiencing psychological distress, with experts linking the strain to wider impacts on children and warning it needs a society-wide response. Work & Industry: Maintenance workers at Woodside’s North West Shelf and Pluto LNG plants have gone on strike over enterprise agreement negotiations with contractor UGL. Tech & Security: A new warning says finance firms are increasingly targeted by Chinese and North Korean hackers, and AI could supercharge future attacks. Wildlife: Scientists report record-breaking humpback whale journeys between Australia and Brazil, highlighting rare long-distance mixing between breeding grounds.
