The idea that there are only two genders is outdated. Some people don’t identify as exclusively a man or a woman. One of the most common terms used to describe those who break the binary is the umbrella term nonbinary. Gender, like sexuality, is a spectrum. As media coverage becomes more diverse, nonbinary celebrities are breaking down barriers by sharing their stories and just being themselves.

The Human Rights Commission defines nonbinary as including people who identify as neither a man nor a woman, both, somewhere in between, or outside those identities altogether. It also clarifies that many nonbinary people also identify as transgender. While nonbinary people can use the pronouns he/him, she/her, or they/them, not everyone who uses gender-neutral pronouns is nonbinary. As more celebrities in the spotlight highlight the nuances of gender identity and expression, it normalizes these discussions and gives issues affecting the community center stage.

Should Australia make its own nuclear weapons? Some people say that Australia should go nuclear to protect itself because tensions are rising around the world and the Indo-Pacific is becoming less stable. But would that really make us safer, or would it just make the area more dangerous? We look at why countries want nuclear weapons, what it would take for Australia to make one, and the legal, strategic, and practical problems that would make it hard to do so. This is the story of how Australia already has strong deterrence options that don’t cross the nuclear line. It includes the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, AUKUS submarines, long-range strike capabilities, and autonomous defence technology.

Australian parents considering electric bikes or scooters for their children face complex legal requirements and mounting safety concerns as five child fatalities occurred in Queensland alone last year. Many commercially available e-bikes exceed legal power limits of 250 watts and 25 kilometers per hour, with speed limiters easily unlocked through online tutorials. Experts warn most states require riders to be at least 16 years old for e-bikes and personal mobility devices, though enforcement varies across jurisdictions.
