One of my earliest memories has a precise date: 11 November 1975. I remember my father's anger. As I grew, I came to understand why. For migrant families in Melbourne's West, the Whitlam Govt meant university education, respect for multiculturalism, & even sewerage. Thanks Gough.
Honoured to present the 64th Lambie Dew Oration @Sydney_Uni ‘Courageous Medicine: From Evidence Users to Evidence Creators’. Thought provoking questions from medical students. I feel confident about the future of our medical workforce - people with compassion, reflection and…
Fifty years ago today, Robert MacNeil and Jim Lehrer brought viewers like you a novel way to watch news: a half-hour evening program, free of commercials, that aimed to tell one in-depth story per night. Over the next five decades, that show has morphed into what we now know as…
islandmag.com/read/life-span… Something a little different. A short story by my Fiona, published today. I hope you enjoy it. Love, and the vulnerability it confers.
The 2025 #NobelPeacePrize goes to a brave and committed champion of peace – to a woman who keeps the flame of democracy burning amid a growing darkness. Peace laureate Maria Corina Machado has shown that the tools of democracy are also the tools of peace. She embodies the hope…
The reality of a hanging in pre-abolition UK. This paints a graphic picture consistent with my own experience of the death penalty in Singapore. Capital Punishment in the UK - Hanging (Part Three) youtu.be/K2wXMmwHWzc?si… via @YouTube #AbolishTheDeathPenaltyEverywhere

Sigmund Freud (d otd 1939): Every night human beings lay aside the wrappings in which they have enveloped their skin…And when they go to sleep they carry out an analogous undressing of their minds. The dream is the liberation of the spirit from the pressure of external nature.
Trump & Kennedy's arrogant health idiocy will contribute to untold numbers of febrile seizures, vaccine refusal & preventable deaths across not only the USA, but anywhere within the reach of American influence. What they peddle is a despicable affront to healthcare worldwide.
So, she’s happy to be used for their agenda? Good to know.
There are 10 men on death row in Singapore in danger of imminent execution and one of them is to be executed this Thursday. There have already been 10 executions this year in Singapore and the Singapore Government @govsingapore refuses to support the international trend away,…
Fantastic to see The Klaxon prominently cited in the Sydney Morning Herald’s lead story this morning. Great reporting by @begley_patrick and @natassiazc Our May 21 expose on Price and Advance is here: theklaxon.com.au/the-price-is-r… SMH P1 today: smh.com.au/politics/feder…
so true!
Interesting to see Beale's mention of media coverage contributing to notoriety in turn contributing to risks from other prisoners in turn contributing to harsh prison conditions in turn contributing to mitigation of sentence in turn contributing to a fixed non-parole period.
🚨Antisemitism Envoy Jillian Segal says pro-Palestine rallies should be banned from cities — but is dead silent about neo-Nazis. Investigations reveal “Advance” — funded by Segal's family trust — spread anti-immigrant material before Sunday's rallies... theklaxon.com.au/yx5p
Brilliant. The statue Victoria needs?
This is such a brilliant thread Wonderful investigative work too about a suburb that has been reinvigorated by immigration being portrayed as bad It's a pity Harrison Christian of @newscomauHQ then took Aaron's story idea and rewrote it as his own without attribution to Aaron.
Dave is marching Sunday because Indian shops have transformed his suburb and replaced "Australian culture". He wandered the local shopping strip, pointing out the invasion. I dug a bit. Let me show you the loss of "Australian culture" he’s mourning. /1 x.com/DaveRightNow_/…
Multicultural Australia. We're far from perfect as a nation, but we are a place of welcome, respect & diversity, much more so than any bigotry & hatred. My heritage includes a Gallipoli veteran & a Maltese grandmother who could not read or write. I cherish what we have received.
A parting gift from students in the very first pilot Tertiary Preparation Certificate (TPC) for Aboriginal students in TAFE NSW. I taught in & coordinated this course in 1989 on Wiradjuri Country, Narrandera. They all burnt - inscribed their names on the back. Never forget them.
Chuckling at this. Please get Barnaby in there for good measure. He can shout at the clouds again.
looks like sussan ley is going to spend a day flying 18 y/o bushfire survivor katya zheluk and a climate scientist around regional NSW in the coming months. theguardian.com/australia-news…
Great read #auspol thanks @blakandblack
