A 28-year-old man was shot by police in Cairns, Queensland, after being released from hospital just hours earlier. The man was initially taken to the hospital under an emergency examination authority following an incident where he was allegedly found jumping naked on cars near a shopping center. He was discharged within hours and later confronted police with two knives, resulting in him and a 50-year-old bystander being shot. The Queensland Police Union has called for an investigation into the man's treatment and discharge from hospital. Cairns Hospital's chief executive, Leena Singh, defended the hospital's actions during a parliamentary hearing, stating that the man received appropriate medical care and that clinicians acted in accordance with regulations. The incident has sparked calls for transparency and improved protocols to prevent similar occurrences.
