The Police will continue with their plan to pull back from mental health callouts, but they're going about it more slowly. From Monday, 4 of the 12 police districts will move into the second phase, which involves 60-minute ED handovers. They will now be staggered across districts, instead of all at once. The Mental Health Foundation has been critical of the pull back. Police Association President Chris Cahill told Mike Hosking police need to draw a strong line in the sand to ensure people are

More than 70 countries have approached the White House for talks following Trump’s tariffs. There's been no let up on China though – the US has promised to hit them with a 50% increase tomorrow.

2025/04/07

A touch of the ol' intellectual snobbery reared its head with news that the Defence Force dropped education criteria last year. As a person who had no time for school and could not wait to get out into the world, I was, and still am, very grateful for the idea that you choose the person and not the piece of paper when it comes to work. When I started, School Certificate and UE were what you needed to get into the media, or at least to have a crack. These days you need a degree. I can assure you the

The Treaty Principals Bill is on its way to the gallows as the select committee came back Friday and suggested it wasn’t getting its support. It was voted past first reading but it wont get past round two. What I learned out of it was several things. 1) This country is not up for much of a debate around complex or big ideas. We are myopic in our approach. We hate and we love and middle ground is irrelevant. There was a venom and aggressiveness to a lot of submissions. 2) From those who submitted
