There is currently a loophole in place which allows prospective security guards to attain licences in states with less rigorous training requirements, potentially compromising community safety.   


The practice is perfectly legal, but there are concerns some guards working in NSW don't have an acceptable level of training or English language ability.  


Luke Grant chats with the founder and director of SECTA Training in Granville about the problems plaguing the security industry and what needs to change to ensure the community is kept safe.

People who work in the travel industry are saying that South Korea is Asia’s next hottest destination. 

It’s becoming so popular, some are even suggesting it may surpass  Japan as the most visited destination for Aussies in the region. 

The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), says the number of Australians holidaying to South Korea is now 35 per cent above the pre-pandemic figures from 2019.

But what is it that is causing this huge surge in popularity? 

Luke Grant chats with Adam O'Neill, the Managing Director of Asia Advisory and a former Aussie expat in South Korea to find out why people are flocking to the Korean Peninsula in record numbers.

Why South Korea is Asia’s new hottest destination for Aussie travellers

Two Aussie melanoma experts are saying patients shouldn’t be undergoing a commonon diagnostic test called a “sentinel lymph node biopsies” (SLNB) on patient’s patients’ lymph glands, particularly on those under 40 years and over 60 years of age.

They say the results are not an accurate predictor of mortality and that many patients are being mismanaged, with potential side effects such as nerve damage.

Their findings, which now have the backing of many in the international medical community, say that patients should instead use a BAUSS score, which they say is more accurate and less invasive.

Luke Grant chats with one of the experts, Professor Anthony Dixon of the Global Melanoma Initiative, about why the BAUSS is a better indicator and if this is how Luke should have had his melanoma treated.
