The QLD LNP government bails out a coal mine to save 500 jobs (never mind the environment) but thinks nothing of slashing 14000 public sector jobs.

60,000 women a year die from unsafe abortions. In one country. This is the reality of banning pregnancy termination. It never stops abortion. It just makes sure more women die.
An MP in Zimbabwe has called for the repeal of the country's "backwards" 1977 abortion law. He argued that safe abortion should be available to a wider range of Zimbabwean women, as it is currently restricted to a privileged few. Each year, 60,000 women die due to unsafe abortion.

Former 7.30 host takes Labor government to task for record on press freedom and pays tribute to Palestinian journalists. Plus: a roo in the news

The former ABC broadcaster Kerry O’Brien got a standing ovation at the 70th Walkley awards on Thursday night for a rousing speech that reminded media in the ICC Sydney ballroom of the “clear and present danger for a strong, free, effective and independent media everywhere”.
The winner of six Walkley awards, including the Gold, called on the industry to unite to strengthen press freedom.
