Assisted dying laws shine light on palliative care
A NSW healthcare union says it hopes the legalisation of voluntary assisted dying will highlight the need for palliative care funding.
Voluntary assisted dying was legalised in NSW on Thursday, making it the last state in Australia to allow terminally ill adults to choose to end their lives.
The Nurses and Midwives Association commended the move but general-secretary Brett Holmes said it must be backed by funding.
"We continue to call on the government to increase nurse-to-patient ratios so that nurses can deliver the care to those palliative patients as well."
It will take up to 18 months for the laws to come into effect.
Man accused of killing Charlise Mutten hit with more charges
A man accused of killing his fiancee's daughter while on holiday in the Blue Mountains has been charged with further offences, including possessing child abuse material.
Justin Stein, 31, who was charged with Charlise Mutton's murder, is due to appear at Penrith Court today.
On Thursday, officers visited Mr Stein at Silverwater Jail, before charging him with two counts of possessing an unregistered firearm, two counts of possessing an unauthorised firearm, possessing ammunition without a licence and committing an aggravated break and enter in company.
He was also charged with possessing child abuse material, unrelated to the murder investigation.
Charlise was on a holiday with her mother and Mr Stein at his family's Mt Wilson property, when she was reported missing on January 14.
The nine-year-old was found near the Colo River four days later.
Mr Stein was arrested at Surry Hills that afternoon and charged with her murder.
Police have confirmed they have found guns and ammunition in bushland near the property in February.
NSW could learn from Scotland's housing plan
Australia could learn from Scotland's approach to tackling soaring house prices and rental shortages, housing policy expert Hal Pawson says.
The UK country wants to build 110,000 affordable homes by 2032, with the majority for social rent and in neighbourhoods where residents can meet their day-to-day needs within a 20-minute walk.
Professor Pawson, from the University of New South Wales, said Scotland's costed targets were in contrast to NSW's strategy.
"It properly defines the problems it seeks to address and it proposes remedial actions that seem to address those problems," he said.
"The remedial actions are costed and that's an absolutely crucial thing. Now the NSW so-called housing strategy doesn't do any of those things."
Scotland's Cabinet Secretary for Housing, Shona Robison, said their plan would also create 15,000 jobs.
"The spin-off benefits from that is that we can also link in our net-zero ambitions to make those homes more affordable in terms of the running costs of them."
The ABC has contacted NSW Housing Minister Anthony Roberts for comment.
Judge to be farewelled at St Mary's Cathedral
New South Wales District Court Judge Peter Zahra, who died suddenly in early May, will be honoured at a funeral in Sydney today.
The 66-year-old suffered a stroke just days after overseeing the start of the fraud trial of the former manager of Australian musician Guy Sebastian.
Throughout his career he presided over a number of high-profile cases, including the trial of Hey Dad! star Robert Hughes and disgraced former Auburn deputy mayor Salim Mehajer.
His death was followed by an outpouring of tributes from politicians and members of the legal community.
The funeral will be held at St Mary's Cathedral this morning and will delay the start time of several high-profile trials including that of actor Craig McLachlan and former teacher Chris Dawson.
New trains could be rolled out soon
A new fleet of intercity trains could finally be rolled out in New South Wales, after a lengthy stand-off between unions and the state government.
The Rail, Tram and Bus Union has been lobbying the government for changes to the $2 billion fleet of trains to improve safety.
They were meant to be operational in 2019.
Last week, Industrial Relations Minister Damien Tudehope demanded the fleet be rolled out without any more delay.
But on Thursday, Minister for Transport David Elliott agreed to take a proposal to cabinet on modifications to the fleet.
Rail unions had agreed not to take industrial action for the past six weeks while they negotiated with the government over pay and conditions.
