Overview:
• Current government recommendations for 30 minutes of exercise five times a week could be met in less than half that time, according to a study involving researchers at Perth’s Curtin University. The study found that doing nine 60-second sprints followed by two minutes of recovery could be as beneficial as 45 minutes of jogging.
• The Solomon Islands is working to contain an [sic] diarrhoea outbreak that’s spread to six provinces and affected more than 2 and a half thousand people. The Ministry of Health is yet to declare a nationwide alert but health workers are concerned because left untreated, diarrhoea can be deadly, particularly for children.
• WA nurses will not demand hefty pay rises from the Government but will take action to protect conditions, the union says, as the deadline to thrash out a new three-year pay deal looms.
