Australia’s fastest-growing region gets a new suburb – and open space equal to five MCGs

As the state government moves to keep pace with the fastest-growing region in Australia, locals fear infrastructure isn’t keeping up, and they have demands ahead of the November election.

Sacking Ange Postecoglou is a decision Tottenham Hotspur will almost certainly live to regret.

I have a patient in an aged care facility. One of his main gripes in life is that 'the doctor never sees me'. I must have seen him easily >60 times in 18 months. He just doesn't remember because of cognitive deficits.

There's a warning tonight, Victoria could lose vital healthcare workers to other states as budget cuts bite. The AMA says a billion-dollar blood bath will put lives at risk and damage the state for years to come. youtu.be/yEKKM7tPmMU @ainsleykoch #7NEWS

I, like many GPs, bill patients and pay a fee to the clinic to use my room. I get no sick leave, holiday leave, long service or superannuation. In what universe could I be considered an employee?! @timpallas @MaryAnneThomas @georgiecrozier @96mitchclarke
