- The committee removed the universal 1991 recommendation for newborn hepatitis B vaccination, restricting it to babies of mothers with positive or unknown infection status.
- Parents are advised to consult healthcare providers on starting the three-dose vaccine series for children of virus-negative mothers, no sooner than two months old.
- Public health experts warn this policy shift could lead to increased hepatitis B cases after a 90% decline since the vaccine’s introduction.
- Health Secretary Kennedy replaced the advisory panel with members aligned to his views, resulting in significant changes to U.S. vaccine policies.
The vaccine is incredibly safe and has had a historic positive impact on public health since its inception. Rolling back the initiative to protect all children will almost certainly lead to an increase in hepatitis B cases nationwide.— Dr. Richard Rupp, professor of pediatrics at the University of Texas Medical Branch, expressed concern over the committee's decision.

- The DA proposes repealing or overhauling the Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment Act in favor of a needs-based, nonracial approach.
- Critics highlight persistent apartheid-era inequalities, including white ownership of 72% of farms and black unemployment near 40% as of 2023.
- International misinformation campaigns have fueled tensions and undermined efforts to reform racial redress policies in South Africa.
- Constitutional obligations require targeted redress, as removing race from policy risks ignoring systemic disadvantages and perpetuating privilege.
If anyone wants an amendment to the BEE legislation, they must table their proposal and they must be taken for discussion in Parliament.— President Cyril Ramaphosa emphasizes that Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment is rooted and underpinned by our Constitution, and any amendments must be discussed in Parliament.

- The Nationals unanimously voted to scrap their net zero target, focusing instead on emission goals aligned with other OECD countries.
- Leader David Littleproud described current government energy policies as damaging regional Australia and advocated for cheaper, fairer emission reductions.
- This move complicates coalition talks as the Liberals have yet to finalize their energy platform.
- Plans include repealing the Climate Change Act and expanding fossil fuel project support through the Capacity Investment Scheme.
This abandoning of net zero abandons taxpayers, it abandons future generations, it abandons investments.— Sarah Hanson-Young, Greens senator, described the Nationals' policy as a disaster that will put Australian lives at risk.
