The Airport Chaplain Who Sees Everyone | Melbourne News

In the bustling heart of Melbourne Airport, Salvation Army chaplain Martyn Scrimshaw has quietly become a lifeline for thousands—offering solace to grieving families, guiding homeless souls to shelter, and shielding victims of abuse as they flee danger. From comforting airline crews after in-flight deaths to thwarting romance scam victims’ heartbreaking hopes, Scrimshaw’s “parish” spans every corner of this global transit hub. He’s even helped a woman escape an abuser to Tasmania and a family vanish into untraceable flights to Scotland—all while staying until the last boarding call. His compassion, which once inspired a film starring Hugo Weaving, is rooted in one simple truth: no one is too broken, too lost, or too far gone to deserve help.

Syngenta Pulls Paraquat from Australia | Melbourne News

Syngenta is pulling paraquat from sale in Australia amid tightening regulations and mounting health concerns — despite the Australian authority saying approved uses don’t raise Parkinson’s risk, neurologists insist global evidence links paraquat to a threefold increase in Parkinson’s. New rules, including banning backpack sprayers and mandating more protective gear, made the product commercially unviable for Syngenta, though generic versions remain available. The move stirs alarm among grain farmers over future supply and investment, underscoring the growing tension between agricultural needs and long-term health and environmental safety.

One Nation Surges in Eastern Victoria | Melbourne News
