'Caring' Greens unveil asylum policy to increase nation's refugee intake


The Greens would strip away all deterrents from refugee policy and aim to stop deaths at sea by dramatically increasing Australia's refugee intake and boosting the capacity of the United Nations refugee agency to process claims in Indonesia.

The pre-election policy to be released on Wednesday would also shut down detention centres on Nauru and Manus Island, give work rights to those in the community and lift the ban on people in refugee-producing countries coming directly by air to seek asylum.

It would also appoint an Australian ambassador for refugee protection to help broker a regional co-operation response modelled on the approach of Malcolm Fraser with Vietnamese asylum seekers in the 1970s.

Forgotten cancers are killing Australians amid funding shortfalls

AUSTRALIANS are dying needlessly of five "forgotten cancers" because of a critical shortfall in research funding, even as survival rates shoot up for more high-profile conditions such as breast and skin cancer.

Survival rates for brain, pancreatic, gynaecological, liver and lung cancers have not improved in four decades, languishing as low as 5 per cent for pancreatic cancer.

At the same time, our survival rate for all cancers leads the world at 66 per cent, 92 per cent for prostate cancer and 89 per cent for breast cancer.

"The forgotten cancers are the high mortality cancers that are under resourced and haven't managed to attract the same sort of funding as the high incidence cancers like breast and prostate," said Dr Libby Topp from the Cancer Council.
