The Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP) has welcomed the announcement of Minister Guy Barnett as Tasmania's new Minister for Health.

RACGP Tasmania Chair Dr Tim Jackson welcomed the new Health Minister. "I want to congratulate our new Health Minister Guy Barnett on his appointment, and I'm looking forward to meeting with him soon," he said.

Paris, France — President Emmanuel Macron is on Monday to address France for the first time since signing into law his controversial pension reform, facing warnings the political and social crisis sparked by the changes is not over. Macron signed the legislation early Saturday, just hours after the banner change to raise the retirement age from 62 to 64 had been validated by the constitutional court, prompting accusations he was smuggling the law through in the dead of night. After three months of protests and strikes, the left and unions have vowed not to give in and have warned of mass protests on the May 1 Labour Day.

MANILA, Philippines—Marlon Tapales, the reigning WBA (Super) and IBF super bantamweight champion, will have his shot at history sooner than later. Instead of a potential rematch with Murodjon Akhmadaliev, Tapales got the go-signal from the WBA to enter a voluntary title defense, paving the way for an impending undisputed showdown against the winner of the Stephen Fulton and Naoya Inoue championship bout. The Philippines has yet to crown an undisputed champion in boxing's four-belt era that started in 2004.
