An emotional plea from Doctors Without Borders for a ceasefire in Gaza.Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has vowed to keep up his advocacy for Australians held in custody after he received a letter from the children of a man imprisoned in Beijing urging him to bring their father home.
Israeli tanks have been in Gaza for at least four days following weeks of relentless air bombardments in retaliation to an attack by Hamas militants on October 7 and the taking of more than 200 hostages. "We are living a nightmare with our eyes open. We lack basic human needs. More than a million Gazans have been displaced, including my family and I. We moved from the north to what they called the safe area south of Gaza Valley. But nowhere is safe. Massacres are being committed here. We have entire families wiped off.
"There is a lot of good work going on supporting a very busy government. But it is also important to admit there are areas that need to improve, and areas where we need to implement further reforms to strengthen the APS. The government recognises the Public Service has come under heavy scrutiny over the past 15 months. These reports and various recommendations show that there is more work to do to strengthen the trust, integrity and independence and capability across the APS.
Treasurer Jim Chalmers has encouraged residents to stay up to date with the latest advice from authorities.
