Ever skipped a doctor's visit because of the price?
You're probably not alone.
Australians in their 20s are some of the most likely to avoid a visit to the GP due to the rising cost of living. Now a peak doctors' group is calling for free visits to address the issue.

Bike rideouts, where big groups of young guys take to the streets, have been popping up in the last few years everywhere from Perth and Sydney to the Gold Coast and Melbourne.
Organisers say they're all about getting young people off the streets and giving them something to do, but police are worried they’re dangerous, and some people are even threatening the riders with violence.
In Perth last year, a 16-year-old allegedly assaulted a police officer at a rideout.
So are these rideouts a solution or a problem?
We were at one in Melbourne over the weekend to find out.

Trump has a new goal: turning Gaza into the "Riviera of the Middle East".
At a press conference alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump said that the US will "take over the Gaza Strip", while suggesting Palestinians in Gaza could be permanently relocated to neighbouring countries like Egypt or Jordan.
The comments were backed up by Netanyahu, as protesters gathered outside the White House chanted that "Palestine is not for sale" and “Gaza is not for sale”.
So, could the US actually take control of Gaza?

Trump is doubling down on his US election promises by imposing new tariffs in the next few days on China, Canada and Mexico.
He's calling it a reaction to those countries allowing immigrants and fentanyl to flow into the US.
