The birth of the conjoined twins is the result of a condition known as dicephalic parapagus, which occurs when the embryo doesn’t split properly during pregnancy.

The odds of this abnormality occurring are exceedingly rare, affecting only 1 in every 100,000 births.

Melbourne researchers are developing a tool to help women decide if they should freeze their eggs.

250 women will participate in the online trial, which aims to provide accurate, unbiased information for women to allow them to make informed decisions about their reproduction.

The site will take the form of a quiz, that ultimately determines if freezing your eggs is the right decision for you. The tool is expected to be up and running by early next year.

The official inquiry into the Christchurch Mosque Attacks has begun, but the nature of the investigation means it will be conducted behind closed doors.

The Liberal National Party has seen Doboy Ward Councillor Ryan Murphy, replace Mayor Adrian Schrinner in his former ward of Chandler, giving their party a safe 24 per cent margin ahead of the March 2020 council election.

Dozens of animal rights activists from the ‘Direct Action Everywhere’ group formed a long line around a number of restaurants in Perth on Friday.

Content on social media shows the protestors confronting restaurant attendees with information about the meat industry and animal cruelty as they left restaurants.

It’s 4.6 billion years old and yet the Moon continues to surprise us. A recent study published in Nature Geoscience has uncovered young thrust faults on the satellite reminiscent of seismic activity.

Analysis of data from the ‘60s and ‘70s combined with high-resolution imagery has led scientists to believe the Moon is still tectonically active.

The movement has been attributed to the moon contracting as it cools, as well as tidal forces from the Earth.
