If the govt cared about preserving the health our pensioners & public health system, they’d let people put their parents on their private insurance. Any common sense measure is dismissed because private health insurance is there to make corporations richer, not make Australians healthier.

Anthony Albanese stands in front of flags during a press conference. 
Anthony Albanese says an OpenAI agent hacked a Medicare statistics reporting service portal.

In short: 
The prime minister has had a "frank" discussion with OpenAI chief executive Sam Altman after an AI agent breached an Australian government website. 

The company did not notify Services Australia of the incident until three months after the fact, via email.
