Victoria's grand final public holiday will almost certainly be dumped if the Coalition wins the 2018 state election.

Opposition Leader Matthew Guy has warned Victorians are getting too many days off, arguing the increased leisure quota will hurt the state's ability to compete and create jobs.

Just posted on ABC.

Refugee advocates are warning the Immigration Department the family of an Iranian woman who was raped on Nauru is now at breaking point.

Asylum seeker Nazanin is receiving treatment for kidney failure in a Brisbane hospital, after her rape and subsequent suicide attempts on Nauru.

Nazanin was on day-release from the Nauru detention centre in May when she was attacked.

It took authorities three weeks and imminent organ failure to transport the 23-year-old to a Brisbane Hospital.

Her mother and her 20-year-old brother, Omid, said the Immigration Department promised to send them to Brisbane to aid Nazanin's recovery but went back on its word.

Omid said his mother tried to commit suicide at the weekend because she could not bear the separation.

"It's really hard for her to bear any more," he said.

"Her daughter has deteriorated mentally and [is] laying on a bed in hospital.

"Even this morning, in front of the officers, she tried to harm herself but the officers were grabbing her hand.

"She's completely deteriorated, she's getting completely hopeless."

Omid said the three-minute phone calls every few days that the family is allowed with Nazanin are not enough, and just cause more pain.

"The last time that I talk with her she started screaming and crying and my mother just hang up the phone."

International Health Medical Services (IHMS) is the firm that delivers health care for Australian asylum seekers.

Two IHMS team leaders have reportedly resigned over the way the family have been treated.

Psychiatrist and international trauma specialist Dr Helen Driscoll said in a statement it was imperative for the family to be together.

"The fact that Nazanin and each family member is utterly crushed and the only option to ease intolerable suffering is suicide from total despair, is entirely predictable," she said.

"I hold IHMS and DIBP [Department of Immigration and Border Protection] responsible for their pending demise."

The Immigration Department has told the ABC it takes the health and welfare of transferees very seriously and said there had been no reports to the department of a suicide attempt.

Excuse me if I dont just take their announcements at face value.

No, even Tony was smart enough to realise he didn't have a mandate on this. Turnbull on the other hand is probably gauging public reaction because he knows full well that he's already more popular than Abbott and Gillard.

Remind me what happened to the last Liberal prime minister who thought he was popular enough to get away with stripping workers' rights?

He was prime minister for 11 years? :v:

A Victorian policeman has been charged with murder after a man was shot dead during a traffic stop in Melbourne two years ago.

Leading Senior Constable Tim Baker faced Melbourne's Magistrates Court after being charged earlier this morning over the death of Vlado Micetic.

Mr Micetic was driving a car in the suburb of Windsor in August 2013 when he was pulled over by Baker, who was patrolling alone.

It was alleged at the time that Mr Micetic produced a knife before Baker shot him dead.

Australia�s opposition to the creation of a body to help people escaping the ravages of climate change appears to have paid off, with the idea dropped from the draft agreement for the crucial UN climate talks in Paris.

A previous draft of the deal to be thrashed out by nations included a �climate change displacement coordination facility� that would provide �organised migration and planned relocation�, as well as compensation, to people fleeing rising sea levels, extreme weather and ruined agriculture.

The mother of an Iranian asylum seeker allegedly gang-raped on Nauru has tried to kill herself, having been told she cannot see her unwell daughter.

The mother, Farrah, has been placed in isolation under 24-hour watch since the suicide attempt on Saturday, her fourth. That also means she is separated from her son, who is held in another part of the detention centre.

Nauru backtracks on vow to process asylum claims within week

The Nauruan government says it will not have 600 refugee applications finalised within a week, despite making that commitment just days ago.

Big surprise. Other key points: 75 percent of the 400 processed have been found to be genuine refugees WHICH WE'VE SPENT BILLIONS ON TORTURING GOOD VALUE FOR MONEY THAT.
