FAMILY FIRST OPPOSES GENDER FLUID EDUCATION
FAMILY First has pledged to oppose what it calls “sexual and gender-fluid indoctrination” in childcare if elected in upcoming state elections. This follows reports of an Adelaide childcare centre introducing LGBTIQA+ topics to toddlers during IDAHOBIT. Family First argues such discussions should be left to parents and claims early education is being influenced by harmful ideology. The party is campaigning to protect parental rights, preserve childhood innocence, and challenge what it views as political overreach in the education system.

PAIN RELIEF EASED BY EMOTIONAL PROCESSING
A UNSW and NeuRA study has found that improving emotional processing can significantly reduce chronic pain. The trial, led by Professor Sylvia Gustin and Dr Nell Norman-Nott, introduced a new eHealth therapy called Pain and Emotion Therapy. Delivered online to 89 participants, it helped reduce pain intensity by 10 points on a 100-point scale. The eight-session program teaches emotional regulation, with results showing lasting benefits. Researchers say this approach may revolutionise chronic pain treatment by targeting emotional health.

With climate change and other modern risks increasing disaster frequency, Sheedy calls for mandatory all-hazards training in nursing education to strengthen resilience and improve community outcomes during emergencies.
