Thousands of NSW nurses and midwives are walking off the job for 24 hours today in pursuit of a pay rise. The Nurses and Midwives Association is calling for a 15% pay increase after rejecting the State Government's offer of an interim 3% pay rise back paid to July 1st. The Association's President O'Bray Smith told the ABC they're committed to fighting for the cause for at least another year. If we don't strike today, if we don't get 15%, your health system will be in decline. So we're asking for the community, hear us, help us, so that we can deliver safe care for you. The NSW Health Minister Ryan Park says despite the strikes, emergency departments will continue to operate around the state. If you do need to call Triple O, continue to call Triple O, those emergency departments will remain functioning and in place. The severity of cancer diagnoses in regional parts of Australia is being highlighted this World Cancer Research Day. It comes as figures reveal nearly 450 Australians are diagnosed with cancer every day, with two in five diagnosed before the age of 85. As part of the day, hundreds of Aussies are set to cut, colour and shave their hair in a show of solidarity while raising vital funds for the Australian Cancer Research Foundation. The Foundation's Carly Dutois says diagnosis rates are often higher in regional and remote parts of the country and more needs to be done to tackle this. There are certain types of cancers where we do have larger instances in regional and remote areas and that's for a number of reasons. So I think it is really important to take an Australia wide and in particular regional focused approach to the work that we fund and that's something that we take into account each year when we look at our research funding. Briefly, investigations remain ongoing after a man was fatally stabbed in Sydney's inner west overnight. The man, aged in his 30s, was stabbed on the footpath in Marrickville just before 8pm. Paramedics treated the 32-year-old but he died at the scene as the search continues for his alleged attacker. Overseas, Lebanon's health ministry is reporting at least 492 people have been killed in intense and wide-ranging Israeli airstrikes targeting Hezbollah. It marks the deadliest day of conflict in Lebanon since 2006. Lebanon's health ministry said 35 children and 58 women were among the dead while 1,600 others had been wounded. Hezbollah, meanwhile, launched more than 200 rockets into northern Israel according to the military. Paramedics said two people were injured by shrapnel. In sport, Carlton captain Patrick Cripps has won his second AFL Brownlow medal, pulling a record 45 votes to claim the honour. The 29-year-old is the first player to win two Brownlows playing for Carlton after he also won the game's most prestigious individual honour two years ago. Cripps says it's one of his best seasons yet. One year is my most consistent year. You know, I go to work on my game in the last few years I need to really go to work on kind of show off the shadow of the game sitting calm. Collingwood's Nick Dacoff finished second on 38 votes while Port Adelaide's Zach Butters polled 29th for third place.
