Against a backdrop of Parliamentary recognition of wage underpayment as “becoming the normâ€, the subsequent insertion of s 557A into the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth) providing for harsher penalties for systematic underpayment, and with regulators well resourced and bent on pursuing underpayment matters in the courts, practitioners ignore the underpayment issue “at their perilâ€, says Ian Latham.

Anaesthesia and COVID-19: Hands-on Doctors Can’t Hide in Cyberspace – Alan Sexton
Comparing the clinical practices and accepted conventions in a pre-COVID-19 world, much has changed at a personal and institutional level in our public hospitals. Curious to review the innovations at his former hospital, the author spoke to colleagues for some insights on how they were coping; adaptive changes made in medical practice; lessons learnt. Their comments were matter-of-fact, evidence based and open to the prospect of further adjustments with new disease outbreaks. Changing well established practices in the new COVID-19 world will be a persistent challenge. Learning from lethal events overseas will need to be done collaboratively and earnestly. COVID-19 has ushered in a sea of uncertainty, requiring an open, consultative, multidisciplinary approach. So far, we have achieved some of the lowest pandemic mortality results in the world. Medical vigilance must remain paramount.
