TRANSCRIPT:
A majority of public school teachers are planning to quit, with seven in 10 saying they won't be staying in the job until retirement.
A Monash University report found mid-career professionals were most likely to be uncertain about staying or planning to quit.
An excessive workload is the top concern on educators' minds, with teachers working an average of 12.4 hours of unpaid overtime per week.
More than 80 per cent are unhappy about their salary, which the research paper highlighted does not increase over time like in other professions.
ny are also concerned with student behaviour, including violence.
The federal government is being brought in to address a critical shortage in GPs across the country.
A report by the Department of Health and Aged Care says there are not enough doctors to meet the healthcare needs of Australians.
The 'Supply and Demand' August report projected a national shortfall of over 600 full time GPs in 2024, increasing to over 1,900 in 2028 and more than 6 thousand by 2048.
Speaking on Sunrise, Education Minister Jason Clare blamed Opposition leader Peter Dutton's government for freezing the amount of money doctors receive for patient visits.
"We need more doctors. That's the truth of it. When we were kids of around about one in two medical students leaving university would become a gp, and now it's about one in seven. In the last couple of years, we've seen that go up again about 20%, and that's a good thing. But the truth is we're still dealing with the aftermath of Peter Dutton freezing the amount of money that gps get when you go to see them."
New research shows transport costs have surged by more than 10 per cent over the past year.
Figures from the Australian Automobile Association showed households in three capital cities were spending more than $500 a week on transport, while the average cost of driving a car and catching public transport soared to $458 per week across the nation.
The findings came as motorists' group N-R-M-A analysis ranked Australian capital cities by fuel price, showing the cost of petrol had risen in all states during 2024.
Car loan repayments, fuel and insurance costs consumed the greatest proportion of household transport budgets, while tolls and public transport also impacted costs in capital cities.
British police remain on alert after a heavy security presence, arrests and anti-racism protesters across Britain prevented a repeat of roiting and racist attacks targeting Muslims and migrants.
The government says it is still cautious after days of riots triggered by false online posts wrongly identifying the suspected killer of three young girls in a July 29 knife attack in Southport as an Islamist migrant.
Police said a further potential 20 gatherings and three counter-gatherings were planned.
Anti-racism protester Jo Cardwell spoke at Wednesday's protests.
"Our diversity is our strength. My Muslim neighbours are my brothers and sisters. If they're under attack, I'm under attack, because they're part of my community. So this is the thing which I think is important for every single one of us, is that our society is richer for multiculturalism. It's richer for the people that have come here."
And in sport,
Australian Matt Richardson is through to the sprint semi-finals at Olympic track cycling,
The 25-year-old beat Japanese opponent Yuta Obara two heats to nil in their quarter-final, but is now up against powerful Dutch rider Jeffrey Hoogland.
Other Australian successes came from boxer Charlie Senior, who claimed just the seventh Olympic boxing medal for Australia, securing a bronze against Uzbek Abdumalik Khalokov in their semi-final on Thursday night.
