Last update: 21 minutes agoHealth & Cost of Living: Treasury’s Intergenerational Report extract says Australians will live into their mid-to-late 80s, with women nearing 90 by 2065/66 and men about 86—good news, but Jim Chalmers warns it will add pressure to budgets and the health system must keep people well, not just longer. Mental Health & Hospitals: A hospital fire has worsened bed pressures, with a mental health unit reported as “uninhabitable,” raising fresh concerns for access to care. Crime & Safety: NSW police have charged three men over domestic-violence-related murders after three women died in separate incidents across a 12-hour period. Environment & Invasives: A Queensland/NSW/Victoria survey finds many people still misidentify native wildlife—one in six think red foxes are native, and one in three don’t know quolls are native. Sharks in WA: A behavioural biologist says WA’s catch-and-kill order after Greg O’Neill’s death is unlikely to find the responsible shark, calling it “needle in a haystack.” Business & Travel: AAT Kings says 95% of its tours now include MAKE TRAVEL MATTER experiences, while a travel app in Spain has entered involuntary bankruptcy. Tech & Energy: Anthropic’s first Queensland data centre deal is backed by the state, but agricultural leaders warn developers shouldn’t seize prime farming land.
