(Sydney) – Australia’s health and aged care ministers should immediately revise an aged care regulation to prohibit chemical restraint, Human Rights Watch and Aged & Disability Advocacy Australia said today in a letter to the two ministers. Chemical restraint involves giving older people with dementia drugs to control their behavior. “The Australian government has recently received three major reports on the horrific effects of chemical restraint in aged care,” said Bethany Brown, researcher on older people’s rights at Human Rights Watch. “The ministers for health and aged care should take immediate and decisive action by banning chemical restraint and requiring real support for older people with dementia.”  Read more:  https://www.hrw.org/news/2019/11/24/australia-prevent-restraint-aged-care

Women are being ignored in medical trials and reports, according to a report which calls for more Australian medical research to include gender-specific data. Failing to account for the different effects a drug may have on men and women compromises quality of care for women, according to the report published in the Medical Journal of Australia on Monday. “Historically and consistently across a broad range of health domains, data have been collected from men and generalised to women,” the authors of Sex and Gender in Health Research: Updating Policy to Reflect Evidence wrote.

Never-before-seen footage has revealed the aftermath of Australia’s shock third Test loss at the Ashes and how captain Tim Paine picked up the pieces in a devastated dressing room. Australia needed just one more wicket at Headingley to take a 2-0 lead in the series and to retain the Ashes urn with two matches to spare. But England’s Ben Stokes had other ideas, playing what is considered one of the greatest Test innings of all time to pull off a stunning comeback, and to tie the series.

Ten years ago, the Lowy Institute published a report on the state of Australia’s diplomatic capacity that painted a “sobering picture” of overstretched foreign missions and declining resources. In the words of then-Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, who was quoted in the report: Given the vast continent we occupy, the small population we have and our unique geo-strategic circumstances, our diplomacy must be the best in the world. However, since then we haven’t put enough resources into our diplomacy as we should. New research by Asialink at the University of Melbourne published in Australian Foreign Affairs shows continuing under-investment in Australia’s diplomatic capacity, with funding for the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) now at a new low of just 1.3% of the federal budget. read more:  http://theconversation.com/australia-is-spending-less-on-diplomacy-than-ever-before-and-its-influence-is-suffering-as-a-result-125722

Australia's women's football team, the Matildas, have struck a historic deal which will see them earn equal pay and entitlements on many key measures. Football Federation Australia (FFA) said it means the top male and female players will be on the same pay scale. But the men are likely to keep earning more due to the greater prize money typically on offer at their matches. The Matildas are currently ranked 8th in the world while Australia's men's team, the Socceroos, come in 44th. Read more:  https://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-50311335

Former Australia wicket-keeper Adam Gilchrist is hopeful of India agreeing to play a Day/Night Test in his country next year after Virat Kohli and his men were convinced to compete in their maiden pink ball match by new BCCI chief Sourav Ganguly.

Prime Minister Scott Morrison has dismissed concerns diplomatic tensions between Canberra and Beijing have strained the relationship between the two countries, arguing it is built on honesty about their differences. Mr Morrison met with Chinese Premier Li Keqiang in Bangkok last night, ahead of today's East Asia Summit, describing the meeting as "candid". Accusations about interference in Australia's political system and criticism of Beijing's human rights record have prompted scathing lectures from Chinese officials, effectively telling Canberra to keep quiet. But the Prime Minister disputed assertions those incidents undermined broader economic bonds. "There is an honest acknowledgement … that we are two very different countries," Mr Morrison told reporters in Bangkok.
