Eating disorder research and funding falling behind
New research published today is calling for a drastic re-think of how we research and treat eating disorders with current treatments for anorexia nervosa now decades old and only effective in about half of all patients. Breakthroughs have been few and far between in recent years and the need for updated funding and treatment has never been more critical with anorexia nervosa having one of the highest premature death rates of any mental illness. Guest: Associate Professor Andrea Phillipou, Principal Research Fellow in Eating Disorders at Orygen and The Centre for Youth Mental Health at The University of Melbourne Associate Professor Andrea Phillipou, Principal Research Fellow in Eating Disorders at Orygen and The Centre for Youth Mental Health at The University of Melbourne Producer: Grace Stranger If this conversation has raised any issues for you, help is available: Butterfly Foundation National Helpline on 1800 ED HOPE (1800 33 4673) Lifeline on 13 11 14

Brisbane news live: Palaszczuk slams senior Liberal men's remarks
Latest posts Palaszczuk slams controversial senior Liberal male figures' remarks By Former Queensland premier Annastacia Palaszczuk and Nationals senator Bridget McKenzie have slammed the comments made by two senior Victorian Liberal men, former party president Alan Stockdale, and former senator Richard Alston, as 'out of touch'. Stockdale and Alston, who oversee the NSW Liberals since the administration failed to nominate 144 council candidates, told the NSW Liberal Women's Council in a meeting that: 'women are sufficiently assertive now,' and, 'we should be giving some thought to whether we need to protect men's involvement'. 'I can't believe this. I mean, you finally got one step forward for the Liberal Party with Sussan Ley being elected, and it's three steps backwards with these comments. These are not appropriate in this day and age,' Palaszczuk said on Today this morning. 'Honestly, the Liberal Party needs a good, hard look at themselves, and especially the men. 'I mean, there are good women coming through on, through all different political parties, and this guy is out of touch. He's absolutely out of touch. And there's no room for this in today's modern society.' McKenzie backed her comments: 'I hope women are assertive as they represent their communities, they fight for the future of their countries, and I think Annastacia and I will be on a unity ticket on this. 'It was in my Senate room where 80 per cent of the senators are women, and they were all in shadow cabinet, and the guys weren't. It was as a shocking comment. I think it's time for Alan to head back to the Melbourne club ... and chat with the old boys about what went wrong.' 7.19am W-w-w-will it w-w-w-warm up today? Brisbanites wake from the week's chilliest night to a sunny day today. But if you were hoping to warm up, unfortunately we're expecting the mercury to rise to a mere 21 degrees. The next few days should be warmer – slightly – with mostly sunny conditions ahead, but some nights will drop to the single-digits. Here's the seven-day outlook: 7.17am While you were sleeping Here's what's making news further afield this morning: US President Donald Trump has played down the chances of successful peace talks in the Russia-Ukraine war after a phone call with Vladimir Putin, and foreshadowed Russian retaliation to the weekend's Ukrainian attacks. Senator Dorinda Cox described Labor as patronising to women and people of colour, and claimed the party cared more about its donors than members in her application to run for the Greens in 2020. Not everyone moving into aged care has a house they can sell, or superannuation to draw down, so here are ways to manage it on a budget. Mushroom cook Erin Patterson has told a jury the accusation she poisoned her lunch guests was wrong, but it sent her into a spiral of fear that led to a series of stupid decisions. Unlike efforts to recycle soft plastics, container deposit schemes have been a booming success across Australia, with billions of bottles recycled. The mozzie is the deadliest animal on Earth, and scientists now have the tools to potentially zap it from existence, but some warn of the hidden dangers of doing so. And a diehard romcom fan has employed a unique approach to finding love – posting old-school flyers around inner-Melbourne.
