Mr Chandler-Mather, 32, was questioned by interviewer Sarah Ferguson on Monday night's episode of ABC's 7.30 Report about whether the Greens, by agreeing to pass two Labor housing bills, had failed the party's base of younger voters. 'Everyday we don't solve the housing crisis I feel like I have let them down a little bit,' an emotional Mr Chandler-Mather said. 'My generation for the first time are probably going to be worse off than our parents. I feel that acutely.' Mr Chandler-Mather's voice wavered as revealed he had 'friends who have been kicked out of their homes because they can't afford the rent or have given up on ever being able to buy a home'. 'And it hurts me a lot, actually, to see that. I find it really hard,' he said. The Greens delayed the Albanese government’s Help to Buy and Build-to-Rent bills for months, pushing for changes to property investor tax concessions and rent rise caps. However, they ultimately supported the bills despite these demands not being met. Greens MP Max Chandler-Mather grew emotional talking about his generation's housing prospects. Ferguson pressed Mr Chandler-Mather, who is the Greens spokesperson on housing, whether the minor party had dropped the demands because they feared electoral backlash for not supporting the Bills. Mr Chandler-Mather, who has been a consistent thorn in Mr Albanese's side, denied this. 'There comes a point when you realise you have pushed as hard as you can,' he said. 'What we have decided is to pass these two Bills and take this fight to the next election.' Although the Greens secured no concessions, Mr Chandler-Mahler said they pressured Labor into questioning negative gearing, the tax break housing investors get for rental properties that many argue dries up homes for first-time buyers. 'We also got close on negative gearing they costed that policy and that would have been the most positive genuine shift of housing policy in generations in Australia,' he said. Mr Chandler-Mather has proven a thorn in the side of the Prime Minister Anthony Albanese Read More Anthony Albanese was riding high - then a single taunt about his $115,000 investment property portfolio got under his skin... Housing Minister Clare O'Neil said the two Bills 'have now got a really clear passage through the parliament'. 'I'm glad (the Greens) have finally seen the light,' she said on Monday. 'But it doesn't excuse the fact that they have played politics on housing for two-and-a-half years, and the net effect of the Greens in this term of parliament is to delay action on housing.' The proposed Help to Buy scheme would see the government to contribute 30 per cent of the purchase price of a home or 40 per cent for a new build for those earning under $90,000 for a single applicant or $120,000 for a couple. The government share reduces the cost for the homebuyer, although it must be paid back upon sale. Under the Build to Rent bill tax concessions would encourage the constructing properties for rent. Last year the Greens were able to secure an extra $3 billion of investment for social housing in negotiations for the Housing Australia Future Fund.

NEW YORK (AP) — The outgoing head of the nation’s top public health agency urged the next administration to maintain its focus and funding to keep Americans safe from emerging health threats. “We need to continue to do our global work at CDC to make sure we are stopping outbreaks at their source,” Dr. Mandy Cohen, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said in an interview Monday with The Associated Press. “We need to keep that funding up. We need to keep the expertise up. We need to keep the diplomacy up.” Cohen, 46, will be leaving office in January after about 18 months in the job. President-elect Donald Trump on Friday night said he picked Dave Weldon , a former Congressman from Florida, to be the agency’s next chief. Cohen said she hasn’t met Weldon and doesn’t know him. She previously voiced concern about Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the anti-vaccine advocate and CDC critic nominated to oversee all federal public health agencies . People are also reading... The CDC, with a $9.2 billion core budget, is charged with protecting Americans from disease outbreaks and other public health threats. The staff is heavy with scientists — 60% have master’s degrees or doctorates. The last eight years have been perhaps the most difficult in the agency's history. The CDC once enjoyed a sterling international reputation for its expertise on infectious diseases and other causes of illness and death. But trust in the agency fell because of missteps during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, political attacks and resistance to infection-prevention measures like wearing masks and getting vaccinated. The CDC has four political appointees, out of about 13,000 employees. The rest serve no matter who is in the White House, with civil service protections against efforts to fire them for political reasons. Trump said during the campaign that he wants to convert many federal agency positions into political appointments, meaning those employees could be hired and fired by whoever wins the election. There’s also a proposal to split the agency in two: one to track disease data, and another focused on public health but with a limited ability to make policy recommendations. And then there’s a current budget proposal in Congress that would cut the agency’s funding by 22%. It would also eliminate the CDC’s National Center for Injury Prevention and Control, which works on topics like drownings, drug overdoses, suicides and and shooting deaths. Cohen said there’s reason to be proud of the agency’s work in recent years. The CDC has built partnerships to improve the availability of testing for different infections and to watch for signs of disease outbreaks by monitoring wastewater . There are emerging threats, as always, but no new, full-fledged public health emergencies, she said. The day after the Nov. 5 election, Cohen emailed CDC employees to urge them to keep going. “While the world may feel different with changes ahead — our mission has not changed,” she wrote. She said she’s not aware of any wave of worried CDC scientists heading for the doors because of the election results. “There is a difference between campaigning and governing,” she said. “I want to go into this in a way that we’re passing the baton.” Cohen said she doesn’t know what she’ll do next, other than spend time with her family in Raleigh, North Carolina, where her family maintained its residence while she ran the agency. Next year, for the first time, the CDC director will be subject to Senate confirmation, which could make for a gap before Trump's pick takes the helm. CDC Deputy Director Dr. Debra Houry has been assigned to help manage the transition. Aside from administration transition, the CDC has to face several looming threats. Officials this month confirmed the first U.S. case of a new form of mpox that was first seen in eastern Congo. There’s also the ongoing stream of bird flu cases , most of them mild illnesses seen in farmworkers who were in direct contact with infected cows or chickens. CDC officials say they believe the risk to the public remains low and that there’s no evidence it’s been spreading between people. “I don’t think we’re yet at a turning place. But does that mean it couldn’t change tomorrow? It could,” she said.

Hypertension is often referred to as the "silent killer" because it typically presents with no noticeable symptoms, yet has the potential to cause serious damage to vital organs such as the heart, kidneys, and brain. While the exact cause of most cases of high blood pressure remains unknown, several risk factors have been identified, including age, genetics, lifestyle choices, and underlying health conditions.
