Yesterday the Govt tried to quietly announce that they had approved a 4.41% average increase in private health insurance premiums. The largest increase in 9 years. Cost of living pressures are already biting hard, and I regularly hear from people who have paid PHI for decades, but still face huge gap fees when they need treatment. Meanwhile, some of the biggest insurers, including Medibank and Bupa, have posted climbing profits. How will Australians benefit from this record rise? abc.net.au/news/2026-02-1…

This is terrible news. Go well, Michael, in whatever comes next.

I have always wondered why people at Flagstaff nicely alight and stand aside to allow others to get off but at North Melbourne they stand their ground in the train, making it hard to get off or on. Musings of a commuter. #metro #cityloop hoping for good manners on the new lines

Well done Kylie
