Hello from the Amplifying newsroom. I'm Hayden Visera. A new
era has begun for camera's predictive and preventative healthcare, with
one of the world's best whole body photon counting CT
scanners coming to the act. Radioologist doctor Naha Singh says
the NAO TOM Alpha has been something doctors have waited
a long time for.

Speaker 2 (00:20):
We've been waiting for this sort of technology for years
in radiology, and it's extraordinary in the way that it
can turn physics into a real life application that can
improve people's lives and improve the ability to sing inside person.
It's really quite amazing.

on a larger scale.

against the Federal government's upcoming social media ban for under
sixteen's Independent MP Zali Stegel has told Sky there are
plenty of double standards when it comes to the ban.

Speaker 5 (01:47):

but we say a sixteen year old can't access social media.

Speaker 1 (01:58):

local melanoma survivor Bernadette Cross says, we need more dermatologists

(02:18):
in the act.

Speaker 6 (02:19):
All the dermatologists here a book to books are close,
you cannot get in. You need to then go okay,

got that additional cost of finances of trying to get
to Sydney and Melbourne to get to a dermatologist to
get looked at.
