Now a story (of ineptitude!) on the world stage. What a dork!!

@wallabies.bsky.social up for it tonight. Great showing against a well drilled side. Refereeing questionable, unfortunately. Nations series looking good!! 🏉

I was scammed… involved credit card. Australian Financial Complaints Authority intervened when bank unhelpful. Matter resolved in my favour. There can be justice! AFCA deserves credit.

⚠️ Up to a quarter of peripheral nerve injuries are iatrogenic, from nerve blocks and graft harvest to unrelated surgery, positioning and tourniquets. A sobering reminder of the stakes around the nerve. Read more: www.bjaed.org/article/S2058-5349(26)00020-X/fulltext

My article out today: why Australia has to now start reducing cigarette excise & make safer, smoke-free nicotine products easier to get than deadly cigarettes #auspol @algore09algor.bsky.social @jmenezes.bsky.social @igas2.bsky.social @ianamossyd.bsky.social pearlsandirritations.com/post/2026/05...

So, we moved house. Chose Allied Removals for the task. Big error! Let’s just say it was “Fawlty Removals” from the outset. Last straw was having the majority of a dozen or so terracotta garden pots completely destroyed in transit. Just DO NOT move with Allied!

Wonderful news that Sam Neill is cancer free. And he's now dvocating for CAR T-cell therapy, "which he underwent as part of a clinical trial, to be rolled out for blood cancer patients across Australia." #science www.theguardian.com/film/2026/ap...

Opponents of science based safer, smoke-free nicotine products are unscrupulous. Smokers of the world unite. You have nothing to lose but your gains @algore09algor.bsky.social @ianamossyd.bsky.social @igas2.bsky.social @jmenezes.bsky.social

As the govt weighs options to raise revenue, balance the budget & confront the global energy crisis, one solution is staring them in the face: replace the broken PRRT with a fair tax on gas exports. It's long overdue, and has widespread support… www.abc.net.au/news/2026-04...

General anaesthesia for a caesarean birth can affect both the mother & the baby. The type of medicine used, how much is given, and when it is given can change how safe and comfortable this process is. Which medicines work best and are safest for mothers & babies? #AnSky doi.org/10.1111/anae...

Best-practice healthcare includes best-practice end‑of‑life care. Yesterday, I stood with Go Gentle to call for the government to make simple and reasonable improvements to legislation around voluntary assisted dying (VAD). People deserve choice, control, and dignity at the end of their lives.

6/ Bottom line: The consistency across meta-analyses is striking—nicotine e-cigs can help people quit smoking. The challenge now is how to use this evidence responsibly in policy and practice. 📄 Open access: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.... @oxprimarycare.bsky.social @oxfordtag.bsky.social

I read a couple unconfirmed reports that Ireland and Wales have announced they are boycotting the 2026 World Cup, and German officials have begun discussions to do so as well. Obviously, Iran is boycotting it but my question is why any other country would want to attend World Cup matches in the U.S.

This is your friendly reminder to boycott the World Cup. It’s not worth it.

What’s this?… Qld leading the way on long overdue controls?? 😎
