Summary
The director general of the World Health Organisation says controlling the spread of Ebola in central Africa is everybody’s business, but governments are slashing their aid budgets. Medicins Sans Frontier is funded almost entirely by private individuals and philanthropic organizations. The group's Humanitarian Affairs coordinator for the Democratic Republic of Congo, Anastassia Chkolenok, is working to rapidly deploying emergency teams into the epicentre of the outbreak.. For decades, Australia has treated social housing as a safety net — something small, residual, and tightly rationed. But what if solving the housing crisis means thinking much bigger — and putting social and affordable housing at the centre of the system again? When former sports reporter Ralph Jackman swapped the newsroom for a classroom in a youth detention centre, it was like an extreme sport he hadn’t signed up for, but the experience changed his life and his attitude to opportunity....now he’s penned a memoir Detention about everything he learned in this classroom of life.
