Editor's note

A new study today has found about 15% of deaths in nursing homes are premature. Although confronting to contemplate, they’re dying due to injury and violence. Fortunately, writes Joseph Ibrahim, there are ways we can prevent it.
Also today, researchers show how unequal access to jobs, wealth, transport and housing in Sydney is threatening its status as one of the world’s most ‘liveable’ cities.
