2026/08/09

Australia’s birthrate plummets to a record low as families struggle to get the support they need — with tax cuts, childcare access, and immigration policy all under fire. Experts blame a shrinking Family Tax Benefit, now reaching just 42% of families for Part A and 35% for Part B. Politicians push income splitting to ease the burden of stay-at-home parents, but fear it could sideline career-driven women. Labor eyes universal childcare, while the Coalition plans a sweeping family package — all

A controversial hospital security plan is sparking heated debate ahead of the election: a coalition proposal to deploy 70 protective services officers across seven Melbourne hospitals over two years to tackle rising violence, guard prisoners, and escort staff.

For a decade, psychologist Zsofi de Haan was misdiagnosed—first with depression, then PTSD, then ADHD—until a severe manic episode at 25 finally led to the correct diagnosis of bipolar II. The years lost were devastating: missed milestones, ineffective treatments, and a shattered sense of self. Now, researchers at the University of Sydney are pioneering new methods combining genetics, family history, and clinical signs to catch bipolar disorder earlier—before full-blown episodes strike.
