    INTERVIEW: The Cocos Islands will soon become uninhabitable; but what happens to the residents?
    Apr 10 2026
    A remote Australian outpost more than 3,000 kilometres from Perth, the Cocos (Keeling) Islands are facing an uncertain future. Climate modelling predicts the low-lying atoll, home to around 600 residents, could become uninhabitable within 50 years. About 460 of those residents are Cocos Malays, whose ancestors were brought to the islands generations ago as indentured labourers by the Clunies-Ross family, paid in company-issued tokens. Despite that history, the community has preserved a distinct culture and way of life that endures today. Following a United Nations-supervised vote in the 1980s, the Cocos Malays chose to integrate with Australia. Since that time, it is the isolation that has helped preserve the islands unique cultural identity. In this extended edition of Weekend One on One, Federal Minister for Local Government and Territories Kristy McBain speaks with SBS’s Christopher Tan, following the release of the Government’s Coastal Hazard Risk Management and Adaptation Plan — the final report assessing the threats facing the Cocos Islands.

    A national report has found discrimination against transgender people is still widespread across institutions, including in healthcare, housing, education and employment. The report by the Australian Human Rights Commission makes 19 recommendations, including reforms across Australian states and territories to protect gender diverse people from vilification, incitement of hatred and threats of physical harm. The author of the report, Sex Discrimination Commissioner Anna Cody, spoke to Razanne Al-Abdeli about the findings, including identifying the barriers gender-diverse people experience in different institutional settings.

    INTERVIEW: Professor Paul Griffin tells SBS 'more important than ever' to get flu vaccine this year
    Apr 4 2026
    'Get vaccinated now' was an instruction we heard repeatedly during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic and since then Australia's vaccination rates have been declining. So much so that last year Australia recorded its worst flu season on record with 1,738 deaths. Director of Infectious Diseases at the Mater, Professor Paul Griffin, says everyone should get a flu vaccination. He's been telling SBS that this year's flu vaccine includes protection against a highly contagious mutation of influenza A which is known as subclade K or Super-K.
