A major upgrade to the My Health app will allow Australians to store and manage their electronic prescriptions on their phones.

The Australian Digital Health Agency has announced e-prescriptions sent via SMS can now be added to the app.

There will be a barcode attached which can be used for dispensing the medication.

"What's really exciting aside from having your My Health Record access through the app, you've also now got access to your electronic prescriptions," Australian Digital Health Agency's Dr Amandeep Hansra said.

"We just encourage patients to ask their GPs or other health providers to have their scripts electronically."

The move is being hailed a "breakthrough" by pharmacists and patients.

"Access to concise, accurate, real-time information is such a breakthrough for healthcare in Australia," pharmacist Nick Logan said.

"It's so much easier to keep track of it's all in the one place," Caitlin Radford, who is on different medications for her rheumatoid arthritis, said.

My Health Record was first launched in 2016.

Two years later, it was created for all Australians unless they choose to opt out.

In 2023, the My Health app was born and has since been downloaded more than 461,000 times.

Earlier this year, the Productivity Commission said the nation's health portal was plagued by incomplete records and poor usability.

Now, users can enjoy having their e-prescriptions on the app.

On top of the upgrade, legislation is currently before parliament to make it compulsory for providers to upload blood results and scans to My Health Record.

"Time and time again people have to get another test done because the results have been lost. This is inconvenient and incredibly inefficient for the health system," Health Minister Mark Butler said.

"We do have this information scattered in lots of different silos so any attempts to bring that together will be better for patients, better for clinicians," RACGP's Michael Wright said.

A Sydney comedy club owner has been sent a letter demanding $10,000 to cover legal costs Australian breakdancer Rachael Gunn incurred to stop a musical about her from going ahead.

Raygun the Musical, which was created by comedian and musician Stephanie Broadbridge, was set to be performed at iD Comedy Club in the inner-city suburb of Darlinghurst on December 7.

But Gunn's legal team shut down the performance to protect the breakdancer's "intellectual property" and ensure "her brand remains strong and respected".

Anthony Skinner, owner of the venue iD Comedy Club, said business conditions were tough and the legal bill would "completely devastate" him.

"I'm hoping this will stop," Skinner said.

"I run a stand up comedy business in a city and country that's not designed for comedy in any way.

"It's $50 in tolls to get in and out, it's already tough enough to get people in."

The venue owner said the cancellation of the musical had made comedians feel "more reluctant to take risks".

Skinner said he offered the $500 made in revenue from the musical, but the law firm "completely rejected" the offer.

Gunn explained the decision to shut down the show in a video posted to social media last Friday.

"People had assumed that we had developed it, that we had approved it and it damaged many relationships both personal and professional," she said.

"This is why my management team and legal team had to work so quickly to shut the musical down.

"It was really unfortunate the show had to be cancelled so close to the launch.

"I know the artist would have put a lot of work into it and that really sucks.

"Had we known about it sooner, there could have been a different outcome."

Gunn's management team Born Bred Talent has been contacted for comment.

A double homicide investigation is under way as police work to identify a body found in Botany, believed to be Jai-Bao "Rex" Chen.

Chen's wife, Zhuojun "Sally" Li was found dead in early December, sparking the massive homicide and missing person investigation.

Since her body was found, the investigation has unravelled quickly – here's everything we know about the case so far.

November 27 – Couple go missing

Sally Li is first reported missing by her mother when she was unable to be contacted.

She was last seen alive in Greenacre on November 27, 2024, according to the NSW Police missing persons registry.

Homicide detectives said that her husband Rex also went missing around the same time.

Late November to early December – Alleged homicides take place

Police allege that the couple were killed in their Greenacre apartment, in Sydney's south-west, at some point on or before November 30.

Homicide detectives are yet to provide a specific timeline in relation to when the pair were allegedly murdered.

November 30 – Police allege bodies are dumped in Botany

Homicide boss Danny Doherty alleges that the Bodies of Li, and presumably Chen, were driven from their Greenacre apartment to Foreshore Drive in Botany on November 30.

He alleges the bodies were transported in a silver Toyota Avensis, which was spotted on CCTV stopped on the side of the road between 4am and 5am on November 30.

"More than one person had targeted both Sally and more likely Rex, (they've) murdered them and dumped their bodies on Foreshore Drive at Botany," Doherty said.

December 9 – First body found 

At 7.30am on December 9, a jogger stumbled across the body of a woman wrapped in plastic at Sir Joseph Banks Park, off Foreshore Drive in Botany.

A massive police response begins and detectives admit that the body's decomposition made it hard to determine how long the woman had been there. 

"Unfortunately, the length of time the body has been there is still unknown. It was in a severe state of decomposition," Homicide Squad Commander Detective Superintendent Danny Doherty said at the time.

"At this stage, we are treating it as a suspicious death."

Forensic testing on the site began as investigators tried to identify the woman.

December 14 – Body identified as sparking concerns for husband

On December 14, Sally Li was identified as the body found at Botany, and police announced that they held "grave concerns" for the safety of her husband.

It was revealed that Rex Chen had been missing for the same amount of time, and police had "no evidence" that he was alive.

"Truth be told … we're not sure whether Rex is alive or dead," Doherty said at the time.

"It's a question mark on whether he's a person of interest or a victim, we still don't know.

"There's no confirmation that he's alive … or that he's been seen alive since late November."

The homicide squad boss also revealed that a silver Toyota Avensis had been seized as police believed it was used to transport the body of Li.

He also announced the theory that a third person was involved in the murder of Li and the disappearance of Chen.

December 17 – Second body found, more details revealed

At 2pm on December 17, police found a second body in Botany, just 10 metres away from where Li was found. 

The body was found in a creek and had been buried under "thick" foilage. 

Doherty said that there had not yet been a formal identification, but detectives were working off the assumption that it was Chen.

"There is a strong likelihood and the assumption that this is the body of [Chen] … This is an ongoing forensic search, we still need to identify the body which may be difficult due to the nature of the decomposition," Doherty said.

He also revealed key parts of the investigation, including that Chen's phone had been used by the alleged suspects following his assumed death.

"We believed it was used by a third party… that would be the people responsible for the murder of both [Li and Chen]," Doherty said.

Chen's phone was found in Queensland and detectives had uncovered a lead that two alleged suspects had fled overseas to Asia.

He revealed detectives were working with authorities in Taiwan and China to track them down.

Doherty also told the media that Chen was most likely the target of the murder, and one line of inquiry for a motive was that he owed someone money.

"Got to love hunting season."

Those were the words Special Air Service Regiment trooper Oliver Jordan Schulz wrote to a fellow soldier the day after he "notched up another one" by allegedly committing the war crime of murder.

The 43-year-old has been accused of unlawfully shooting a local man, Dad Mohammad, three times as he lay on his back in a wheat field at Dehjawze in Afghanistan's Uruzgan province on May 28, 2012.

Schulz, who is yet to enter a plea, was arrested in March 2023, becoming the first former or serving Australian Defence Force member to be charged with a war crime-related murder.

Evidence in the landmark case, previously obtained by AAP, can be revealed after a wide-ranging court order was lifted and replaced by narrower reporting restrictions on Tuesday.

Footage from a helmet-mounted camera shows Schulz and his patrol coming into Dehjawze by helicopter before disembarking, running past a compound and across aqueducts, before coming across Mohammad.

Schulz walks into the field and points his rifle at the Afghan, who lies down on his back before being shot three times.

Military documents show his patrol had been sent to Dehjawze for "Objective Young Akira" to capture Mullah Payend, who was known by various other aliases.

The wanted man was thought to be providing religious training for insurgents in the area and was allegedly connected with suicide bombings in Tarin Kowt.

A report summarising Mohammad's death claimed he was seen "tactically manoeuvring" on the ground as Schulz's helicopter approached.

Smoke and flares were dropped but the Afghan could not be engaged from the air and soldiers were sent out on foot, the document said.

Allegedly displaying "hostile intent", Mohammad refused to stop when ordered before being killed.

Soldiers claim they found a radio on the dead Afghan's body and a mobile phone he had dropped that connected with Young Akira.

The report expressed skepticism about complaints made by local elders that Mohammad had been unlawfully killed, saying they had a history of making similar claims spurred on by insurgents.

Despite no locals witnessing the shooting, the elders said Mr Mohammad had been shot in the head and stabbed in the neck and heart.

"The intent of the allegation is to discredit (operations) in the area and to capitalise through compensation for incidents that occur," another report said.

But Australian Federal Police allege what Schulz said after the killing revealed his frame of mind at the time.

"I had a f—ing gooooooooooood day yesterday brother," he wrote to another soldier the day after the shooting.

In late November, two SAS soldiers, who cannot be legally identified, were ordered to face questions at an upcoming committal hearing at Sydney's Downing Centre Local Court after refusing to speak with the AFP.

In June 2012, Schulz spoke with a superior about the incident.

That soldier will face questioning at the April committal hearing about how the interview was conducted and what was said.

Prosecutors alleged Schulz made admissions and possibly lied during the discussion.

The soldier will also be grilled over documents created after the incident, including claims Mohammad had been carrying the radio and mobile phone.

The crown case is these items were planted on the body afterwards.

A second soldier on the ground with Schulz when Mohammad was shot will also step into the witness box at the hearing.

He will be asked about where he was at the time of the shooting, what information he was given in briefings before and after the mission, and conversations he had with Schulz regarding the killing.

A third individual will also be made to give evidence about what he saw on the day, what he observed about Mohammad and the mobile phone allegedly found on the dead Afghan.

A second round of hearings to compel further SAS troops to give evidence is expected to take place in February.
