On a rainy evening, when most people would be staying dry inside, ACT Fire & Rescue Recruit College 53 was completing series of night drills involving vertical access, medical assists, ladder slide extrications, road crash rescue and a scenario involving a multi storey structure fire with 15 persons reported missing.
ACT Fire & Rescue recruits complete 25 weeks of intensive training, ☀️ day and 🌙 night, ⛈️ rain, ❄️ hail or ☀️ shine, to prepare them for the real emergencies they will respond to across Canberra.

Today in Chicago, I was honoured to be inducted as a Fellow of the American Society of Clinical Oncology - FASCO. This recognition deepens my resolve. My focus remains on the 'third space’ i.e. those patients who still die from #melanoma and #cancer. They are the reason for every trial, every discovery, and every late night.
Pictured with the all new Fellows, and with 3 melanoma colleagues. Proud, grateful, and more motivated than ever!

We keep hearing about the data centre and AI boom - we have to get a fair return from the companies using our resources.

I've decided to share some longer conversations to unpack some of the big issues we're facing and look at the opportunities and solutions.
The first three episodes are out now. The latest is with Marian Wilkinson and Royce Kurmelovs looking at the gas industry’s influence on the major parties, what that means for Australians, and why it’s becoming harder to ignore.
Hope you enjoy them and please send us your feedback.
