Albanese Targets Cost of Living with Student Pay Boost | Brisbane News

Prime Minister Albanese is rolling out a bold new student support plan to tackle the cost of living crisis and outmaneuver rising political rivals, pledging $338.60 weekly payments to health students in practical placements starting July 2027 — a move designed to boost Australia’s healthcare workforce while soothing voter frustration. At Labor’s national conference, he’ll also tackle energy policy, defend fuel security, and push for real, actionable reforms — not just promises — as the government braces for tough economic headwinds both here and abroad.

Leigh Ryswyk Calls for Respect | Brisbane News

Leigh Ryswyk, the first current or former AFL player to come out as gay, is urging fans to show respect ahead of the high-stakes Adelaide vs. Collingwood clash — the first time Izak Rankine, who used a homophobic slur last year and received a four-game suspension, will face his old club. Ryswyk, who made history four months ago, shares his personal journey, including never bringing his partner to a presentation night — a detail that highlights the unique pressures LGBTQIA+ athletes face. Though he’s found support and no discrimination since coming out, he’s calling for accountability and kindness, especially after past incidents like fans booing Collingwood’s Isaac Quaynor. Adelaide’s coach Matthew Nicks is also backing the message. Ryswyk believes progress is happening across the sport and is inspired by global fans who’ve reached out, saying he’s honored to be a beacon for young LGBTQIA+ athletes wanting to play football.
