2+ min ago (617+ words) Evolution and sustainability are the remit of new Broome RSL president Lt-Col Craig Bruhn as he looks to increase membership and support services for members at the town's sub-branch. Recently deployed on operations in the Middle East, Lt-Col Bruhn was working in a secure facility when he stepped outside to check his phone and discovered he had been elected as Broome RSL president. Since his return, the Broome RSL committee has moved quickly to develop a business plan and a new constitution. Lt-Col Bruhn sees engaging the younger generation as a priority. "The challenge for the RSL now is to evolve, and making sure that we don't become irrelevant," he said. "It's a significant challenge. The demographic of the RSL does tend to be older, and so that younger generation isn't necessarily there. "The risk is that down the track…...

A growing number of GPs can help continue prescriptions for ADHD patients over the age of six in NSW after the state government passed reforms expanding the toolbox for doctors who undergo specialist training. As a result, those with ADHD may no longer be forced to endure long waits for costly psychiatrist appointments when their prescription runs out. Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is a condition that affects a person's ability to control their thoughts, actions and emotions, which can impact their relationships and performance at school or work. With estimates of up to 175,000 children and 632,000 adults living with the condition in NSW, out-of-pocket savings could total $1.13 billion per year, according to the Royal Australian College of GPs. Given genes can…...

48+ min ago (596+ words) Venus Metals has urged shareholders to sit on their hands and ignore the noise after private company QGold launched an unsolicited, low-ball takeover bid for the Western Australian exploration company this week. The 17-cent cash offer, unveiled in a bidder's statement yesterday, landed with all the fizz of a flat beer - at a zero premium to the last closing price and, according to the company, nowhere near the value of what is really under Venus' bonnet. The bid, spearheaded by billionaire coalman Chris Wallin through his private QGold vehicle, is unconditional and will run until at least 16 January next year. Using Venus' own numbers, QGold's 17-cent bid pegs the entire company at roughly $33.3 million. However, once the balance sheet is fully unpacked, that figure begins to look a little opportunistic.

1+ hour, 5+ min ago (581+ words) Aguia Resources has appointed Tim Hosking as the company's new Chief Executive Officer, effective immediately, following the resignation of William Howe as Managing Director and CEO. The leadership change comes at a pivotal moment for the multi-commodity explorer, with its flagship phosphate operations in Brazil on track for first production in Q1 2026 and efforts intensifying to revive the company's gold assets in Colombia. Hosking, who joined Aguia as Brazil Country Manager in early 2024, has been the driving force behind key milestones at the company's Rio Grande do Sul phosphate projects.

Recent field trials have confirmed Pampafos' agronomic performance, delivering yields over 8 tonnes per…...
