Tuesday Headlines: Australia, UK, France and other nations call for immediate ceasefire on Gaza, PM says he regrets ‘repulsive’ Mark Latham being elected leader, $14 million federal funding to assist SA to deal with algal bloom, big name uni's don't lead to a better pay packet, and an Aussie has joined the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders. Deep Dive: There’s an infectious disease that's taking lives and leaving others severely disabled in Australia, despite there being a readily available vaccine. Unlike other strains, Meningococcal B hasn’t always been part of the country's national immunisation program, but after a growing number of preventable injuries and deaths, various states have made it widely available and free. In this episode of The Briefing, Tara Cassidy speaks with Stacey Chater, a mother who lost her son to Meningococcal B, and the RACGP Vice President on what’s led to the problem, and which state’s are still falling behind.
