Around 1 million Australians are waking up without the financial support from the JobKeeper wage subsidy this morning, after the scheme came to an end on Sunday.

The government told a senate estimates hearing last week that up to 150,000 people could be out of work once the scheme had wound up.  

In a press release on Sunday, Federal Treasurer Josh Frydenburg said that although JobKeeper had come to an end, the Government’s economic support had not, which included tax cuts, business incentives, and a JobMaker Hiring Credit.

Labour Party MP Ginny Andersen said the bill recognises that grief is not a sickness, but a loss, and should not tap into sick leave. She said that one in four women in New Zealand experience a miscarriage.

The leave provisions also apply to parents planning to have a child through surrogacy or adoption.

Aussie Rules players and experts have called for the reduction of stigma around breast injuries in women’s sport.

Dr. Deirdre McGhee, one of only a few people studying breast injuries in sports, said research shows that while 48% percent of athletes in women’s sports experience breast injury, only 10% percent report that injury to a coach, physio, or doctor. This puts them at risk for long-term damage.

"We have five people listed currently under the Myanmar autonomous sanctions regime – and I am continuing to take advice on that and reviewing that with colleagues," Ms Payne said at the hearing.

Rockhampton Zoo’s aviary may be forced to close after the euthanasian of 40 birds. 

After birds began suddenly falling dead in their enclosure December of last year, tests showed salmonella had infected the enclosure. 

All forty birds in the facility were euthanised after consulting veterinarians and avian specialists in order to prevent the bacteria from spreading throughout the Zoo. 

Zoo staff remain confident the spread has since been contained, but remain uncertain whether the aviary will re-open.

South East Queenslanders have been urged to be cautious if they plan to head to the beach this weekend, due to concerns recent flooding has impacted water quality.
