The Mediterranean diet and Heart Foundation's heart-healthy eating pattern emphasise fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, fish, and healthy fats whilst limiting salt. Consuming a handful of nuts daily reduces heart disease risk by 25%, whilst eating fish and seafood two to three times weekly provides essential omega-3 fatty acids for cardiovascular protection.

A federal government-backed plan proposes charging all Australian households up to $1.44 annually to fund a national electric vehicle charging network rollout, regardless of whether they own an EV.
