Taxi Industry Under Fire For Greedy Drivers 20/19/2023

Parents will be able to see social media through the eyes of their teenage children using a new tool exposing how young people can be surrounded by misogynistic content that promotes harmful attitudes toward women. 

Staff shortages, lenient consequences for poor behaviour and the false perception educators get 12 weeks off a year are some of the systematic issues driving disrespect in the classroom. 

Queenslanders won’t pay “a single cent” for electricity from July, with Premier Steven Miles doubling the state’s power rebate to $1000 in a major $2.5bn pre-election cash splash.

Coward-punch killer Kieran Loveridge, whose unprovoked attack on a young man on a Kings Cross street 12 years ago shocked Sydney, is now out of jail and on a crusade to educate young men about the dangers of alcohol and violence, saying if anyone knows the horror consequences, it’s him. 

The union for prison officers has accused the Victorian government of recklessly endangering their lives amid what it brands an “epidemic of ­assaults”. 

Queensland Premier Steven Miles has buckled to pressure and will remove the detention as a last resort clause amid poor electoral prospects and mounting criticism the government is soft on crime. 
AstraZeneca has acknowledged that its Covid-19 vaccine can cause a rare and potentially deadly blood-clotting condition, according to court documents.

One Punch Redemption 01/05/2024

Child experts are calling for a national blanket ban on mobile phones in schools as they warn kids are struggling with basic skills in the classroom like reading for long periods of time, critical thinking and recognising emotions on faces. 



The father of accused Melbourne footballer Joel Smith says he fears his son is being “scapegoated” to cover up rampant illicit drug use in the AFL. 



CFMEU workers on Brisbane’s $6.2bn Cross River Rail project are expected to walk off the job on Tuesday following unmet demands for huge pay rises that would mean an entry-level construction worker earning $240,000. 



Rory Sloane thought he might be able to pull just one more “out of the hat” and yet again come back from a serious injury.
