Summary

A major class action lawsuit is unfolding against aged care giant Arcare, accusing it of charging residents for services they were legally entitled to — like high teas for those on special diets or cable TV for unconscious patients. Over 50 facilities are involved, sparking outrage over dignity, accountability, and exploitation of vulnerable seniors. Meanwhile, Queensland faces potential environmental costs if mine cleanup rules are relaxed, while Sydney Harbour’s historic, long-closed island is now up for sale. On the sports front, Australia’s women’s cricket team crushed England to claim the T20 World Cup — a dazzling victory for the nation.
