Delighted to be included among the new members of the @arc_gov_au college of experts - three of us here from @latrobe so I will appreciate the local peer support.

This makes me so angry. I’ve known Kev since I was 18, and I’ve never seen him like this. I don’t believe in hell, but these medics and carers were in it, and the bastards who made light of this plague, denied it, called it a flu, and made it worse for everyone, you deserve it.
Essential viewing for everyone who still thinks that Australia overreacted in the first year of the COVID pandemic. What Australia did in that year saved literally many thousands of lives.
I'm so humbled to have been invited to contribute to this event on Lived Experience Advisory Panels with @LisaMBrophy and @chrismaylea, chaired by @P_Gooding and run by the Care Economy Research Institute at @latrobe.
