Kids, 8, with long Covid, as Vic hurtles towards a sick leave gen heraldsun.com.au/news/victoria/…
Allan government’s ‘official silence’ on Vic’s deadly Covid wave ‘must end’ heraldsun.com.au/news/victoria/…
A long read on Victoria’s worsening Covid situation from me, in light of recent deaths, hospitalisations & nursing home outbreaks. Vic Department of Health’s response (included) is interesting. Is ‘living with Covid’ now killing too many Victorians? heraldsun.com.au/news/victoria/…
Big and important job for racing integrity commissioner Sean Carroll in getting this review into a dark side of the industry right. Spotlight on sex assaults, harassment, hazing in Vic’s racing industry - across all codes - has been a long time coming. heraldsun.com.au/news/victoria/…
Vale Greg Mitchell. A kind, clever and funny man. A skilled & caring surgeon. A man of many talents. A lover of car doors that closed with ‘a proper thud’. A champion of #BCNA and pioneer. A man who saved the lives of many cancer patients, including mine. geelongadvertiser.com.au/news/geelong/g…
Fiji demanding more than talk from ScoMo on climate change.
Today I watched a maskless anti-vaxxer with ‘freedom fighter’ on her shirt and Aussie flag taped to her hat walk into a full Ocean Grove Direct Chemist Outlet and not check in - and be served without a single staff member/pharmacist questioning her on lack of either mask or QR.

Given that we must have a Federal election before May, that COVID is already a major problem in our two biggest cities, and that we will open up when vaccination levels are high enough (if not before), what is being done to ensure we can vote online?
With optimal public health measures (and no lockdowns), this can be significantly reduced to 2,737 infections and 13 deaths. We’ve learned from watching countries that have removed all restrictions that there is no ‘freedom day’.
Statement on the Doherty Institute modelling: The Doherty Institute understands how extremely challenging lockdown restrictions are for everyone.
An undersea earthquake of magnitude 6.8 has occurred at 7:33 AM AEST on Monday 23 August 2021 near South Sandwich Islands Region. THERE IS NO TSUNAMI THREAT TO THE AUSTRALIAN MAINLAND, ISLANDS OR TERRITORIES.
Seems like everyone is being scammed right now. Reckon I’ve had 6 scam texts today. But none asked for $1500.
... speaking of bravery.
The Melbourne Football Club has released the following statement in response to racist social media posts directed at one of its players following Monday night’s game at Optus Stadium. 📝: mfcde.es/2VFa1tn

Some of my colleagues, friends and family may well be hoping that next year, I will ramp down my COVID research, activism and awareness activities. They are sick of hearing me bang on about it. No fear. I'm only just beginning, as the complacency, ignorance and apathy increases
Remember, nearly all cases of long COVID are in people who only had mild acute disease. If your COVID strategy is not trying to reduce mild disease then it's inadequate.

Have seen tweets of this page, saying anyone can get a booster if it’s been 6 months since last dose, and it was updated on 7 Dec. This website has said this for months, and is wrong. The latest ATAGI advice is from Sept23, and does not say this. health.gov.au/our-work/covid…
@KarenCutter4 I’ve been saying the same thing, Karen. Note that this Department website links to the old ATAGI (September 2023) advice as well, not the new (November 2023) ATAGI advice. The Department is not properly updating its information and is causing confusion

Social media is the most powerful public health education tool we have in our pockets. Clinicians should not be restricted from using it. They should be trained and empowered to use it. I wished I could run Social Media training for clinicians. 1/2
FYI. Every media interview, appearance and quote from me both on social and traditional media were by invitation. I did not seek any spotlight. I did not call in. I did not write to any outlets. I was contacted and invited. I received no financial benefits.
@CatladyCoffee It really is a hard decision. I've been crying on and off all day. But you know when it's right. Much love to you at this time.
After 6 years, that’s last drinks for me at the Geelong Addy. There are far too many special people to thank, but none more so than those who trusted me to share their stories and anybody who took the time to flick open the paper (or website) and have a read. Local news matters.
We lived down a dead end road that nobody drove down when I was a kid, but my parents always went the extra mile with Christmas decorations. The @WboolStandard took this pic on the day of my primary school graduation to acknowledge my old man’s Xmas genius.
I’m incredibly honoured to receive the Judith Nielson Institute for Journalism and Ideas award for scoop of the year, for my story in @theheraldsun about Bailey Smith’s drug scandal. This story was a group effort, and I’m very grateful for those who helped me.
Anyway - here’s my story from last weekend about how the lifestyle of Geelong and its surrounds has suddenly become appealing. I don’t write much so have a look to make me feel good. abc.net.au/news/2022-09-2…

I teach in a grade 2/3/4 class. The thought that someone could enter my school, shoot and kill 14 of my students and me is just unfathomable - yet, here we are - time and time again and nothing changes. Grateful that as an Australian I feel safe in my classroom. Do something.
