Description: Australian states are pushing ahead with waste-to-energy incineration despite significant opposition. It means one capital city will soon be surrounded by a "ring of fire". Just 40 kilometres north-west of Melbourne, residents in Sunbury have finally had enough of being the city's dumping ground.

When soil contaminated with traces of PFAS was discovered while digging Melbourne's Metro Tunnel it was disposed of here. Now there are plans for a waste-to-energy (WTE) incinerator that will burn 750,000 tonnes of rubbish a year. It will operate 24 hours a day, every day, for the next 30 years. Norman Hermant reports.

Description: "The field owes him a great debt of gratitude."

Leading melanoma pathologist Professor Richard Scolyer has died aged 59 after a remarkable three-year fight against the 'worst of the worst brain cancers'

After being diagnosed with glioblastoma, the 2024 Australian of the Year became the first person in the world to receive a combination of three immunotherapy drugs before surgery. The treatment strategy, pioneered by his colleague Georgina Long was adapted from her work in melanoma.

It resulted in valuable data that showed how immunotherapy could be used for brain cancer – a cancer that has few advances in treatment for almost two decades.

In this 2023 Australian Story, Professor Scolyer explained why he was willing to put himself forward in order to advanced the outcomes for future brain cancer patients.

Title: Taiwan: How one punch changed everything | If You're Listening
Runtime: 26:36
Date posted: 21 days ago
Description: A fistfight erupts in Taiwan's parliament. Punches fly as two rivals find themselves at the centre of the chaos. On one side is Chen Shui-bian, a member of Taiwan’s progressive DPP who became Taiwan's first president from outside the long-ruling KMT. On the other is Han Kuo-yu, a KMT populist who would eventually become Speaker of the House. But this isn't just another political brawl.

Their careers mirror Taiwan's transformation from authoritarian rule to one of Asia's most vibrant democracies. At the heart of the story is an unresolved question: what is Taiwan? While politicians have spent decades debating the answer, most Taiwanese have embraced the status quo, neither part of China nor formally independent, but something in between.
