Today we’re sharing one of the best things we’ve reported on in weeks!
Alzheimer’s is a leading killer of women in Australia. Women are more at risk of the disease and, despite living longer than men, spend more years in poor health.
But a new Alzheimer’s blood test that has just been approved for use locally could change things considerably. Generations of women are set to benefit from early detection and treatment options.
And we’re thrilled to see that Dr Emme Devenney will be leading the new Asia-Pacific Centre of Excellence for Alzheimer’s Diagnosis, alongside Professor Matthew Kiernan.
Meanwhile, a “well connected” businessman has been convicted of rape and is in prison awaiting sentencing. But we still can’t share his name, due to a suppression order in place to protect him.
Also today, Bek Nutter has lived with anxiety all her life. She used running as a coping mechanism, but has since found something (surprisingly!) much better: free diving. Here’s her first-person account of how and why she got involved.
AI-powered beauty (think apps and AI models) is everywhere, as Rita Nasr has discovered. AI models don’t have flaws, so there’s nothing to fix, meaning the impossible beauty standards are now far worse.
And here’s why Australia’s productivity problem is more about workplace participation than working harder.

What got us talking this week: Andrew Tate's arrest on new UK charges, and how he was undone in the court of public opinion by a purple blouse. Plus, we unpack Pauline Hanson's claim that women should just "don't put up with it" — as new Anglicare research shows the cost of leaving family violence has jumped 71% in a decade, to over $7,000.
