Netanyahu, in his appalling lack of empathy and judgement, should focus on his failure to prevent Oct 7. Linking this tragedy to Aust. govt. policy is ridiculous.

"While the victims of the massacre at Bondi Beach were still bleeding, Benjamin Netanyahu - architect of the genocide in Palestine - blamed Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese."
Butt out, Netanyahu

We need to continuously call out the absolute cowardice and abject stupidity of these pathetic terrorists. Turning guns and bombs against unarmed civilians is the antithesis of brave. These people will be damned in this world and the next

Australia will not be divided by hate or violence.
We will confront it head on. And we will stand together in solidarity with Jewish Australians and with one another.

We are saddened to hear of the passing of Prof Michael Cousins, first faculty dean in 1998 then @ANZCA president. A giant in #pain medicine and a genuine trailblazer whose work continues on in improving the lives of pain sufferers world-wide. youtu.be/9HeaccTHVxw?si=PDVRβ¦

This woman entered the tent of the martyrs' bodies and was shocked to find 8 of her sons in the tent, all of whom were slaughtered in an Israeli airstrike.

Drs stopped bulk billing because govβt funding for consultations was never indexed to inflation. A short-sighted failure that penalises those on lower incomes. Will cost the future health system more as people donβt go to GPs and illnesses get far more severe
29 Sep 2023
Nothing to do with Government if the doctors won't bulk bill you pay . My doctor of 20 years has never bulk billed so it's cost me every visit and I am a pensioner.

Bullying and sexual harassment is weakness and cowardice, not strength. Standing up to it is strength. Toughen up, Dr Hilton
