New research has found that for older adults, taking daily aspirin does not reduce long-term cancer risk
Prior studies, largely among middle-aged adults, have reported that taking aspirin reduces the risk of cancer after 10 years, particularly for colorectal cancer. However, new Monash University research has found that for healthy older adults who took a low-dose of aspirin daily, there was no effect on overall cancer incidence but increased risk of cancer-related mortality. The study published in JAMA Oncology involved 19,114 Australian and American adults predominantly aged 70 years or over, who previously entered the ASPREE clinical trial (conducted from 2010 to 2017) and had no prior history of cardiovascular disease events, dementia, or independence-limiting physical disability…

New data shows Australia’s housing and homelessness crisis is worsening, prompting calls to curb property investor tax breaks and build more social homes.

Victoria’s spending on social housing shrinks as unmet need soars
Damning new figures have revealed Victorians are increasingly being turned away from homelessness services without the accommodation they need, as social housing spending was cut by nine per cent. The Productivity Commission's Report on Government Services, released today, shows Victoria remains last in the nation for proportion of social housing, and well below the national average. It comes as the OECD this month joined the call for Australia to increase its social housing. Council to Homeless Persons CEO Deborah Di Natale said the statistics reveal a state government reducing social housing spending during a generational crisis. "Over a third of…

‘A costly and devastating policy failure’ – Australia now spends a record $1.1 billion a year locking up children
Australia now spends more than $1.1 billion a year imprisoning children and young people, as detention numbers rise and more First Nations children are locked up — a trajectory that exposes a costly and devastating policy failure across the country. The latest Report on Government Services (RoGS), released by the Productivity Commission late Thursday, shows youth detention spending has surged by almost $400 million in just five years, rising from $720 million in 2019-20 and more than doubling over the past decade. Youth detention now costs an average of $1.3 million per child per year — or more than $3,600…

New data confirms Victoria’s social housing shortfall and need for urgent action
New data shows Victoria remains in last place for the percentage of social housing it provides to people in need, prompting the state’s community housing peak body to call for urgent government action to address the shortfall. Despite a modest increase on last year’s numbers, public and community housing residents make up just 2.95 per cent of Victoria’s households, according to the Productivity Commission’s latest Report on Government Services. This is the lowest proportion of social housing of any state or territory, and well below the national average of 4.04 per cent. Community Housing Industry Association Victoria (CHIA Vic) Acting…
