## Resource

The World Health Organisation has declared an Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo a public health emergency of international concern. There have been around 250 suspected cases - and 80 deaths - reported in Congo's eastern Ituri province. We hear from Professor Jane Halton, former Australian Health Department Secretary and current boss of the non-profit Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations. Then, how different are the Coalition and One Nation on immigration policy? Shadow minister Dave Sharma gives his take. And NSW is undertaking an inquiry into the live music sector, so what is the message from festival organisers? Recap the morning's news, politics and global affairs with the Breakfast Wrap.
