There have been recent hospitalisations in Victoria associated with dangerous synthetic stimulant N-ethylpentylone (NEP). NEP may be mixed into, or mis-sold as, cocaine or MDMA. Mixing NEP with other stimulants increases the risks. Info: https://t.co/LQ2JPcCB7M

We all have a role play to help stop the spread of #COVID19.

#FlattentheCurve = help stop the spread. Practice protective measures like washing your hands often, and not touching your eyes, nose or mouth.

Thanks for having my back, Euan.
But can I say that I welcome all the views, even (maybe especially) the angry ones. I need to be open to challenge, to other perspectives and ideas. And I'll take them seriously, even if I'm rather too busy to reply...

[Victorian Department of Health @VicGovDH]

Practice good personal hygiene.
It helps prevent the spread of any viral and bacterial illness, not just #coronavirus.

Thank you @_Taraschultz 4 sharing such a personal account of your life & relationship with drugs, in the context of the current Govt policies.
I hear these type of stories on a regular confidential basis: your bravery in triggering a public discourse is to be commended. Thank you

Powerful story. Beautifully told. #voluntaryassisteddying

[7NEWS Melbourne @7NewsMelbourne]

A mother of two from Bendigo has become the first person here in Australia to use assisted dying laws to end her life. The 61-year-old cancer patient took advantage of new legislation in Victoria. "She was very clear in what her wishes were." https://t.co/NYXhKthf3I #7NEWS

“If we don't have an agreed set of facts, that we as a community can rely on, the whole pursuit of journalism is pointless.”
@murpharoo explains why she chose to take on the Prime Minister over his comments regarding the medevac bill #TheDrum

Videos promoting unproven cancer cures spread like wildfire on social media, so the people at @McGillOSS created one of their own with a twist ending https://t.co/5zfr9779VP via @crackedscience

Little does everyone know that Jorn Utzon installed a secret shredder inside the Sydney Opera House that activates whenever a horse race is advertised on its sails.

Just astonishing that First Nations people have clearly asked the Government for a Voice to Parliament – and the new Prime Minister Scott Morrison has given them Tony Abbott! The Government has once again demonstrated their unwillingness to listen to First Nations people.

If @theage can do more reporting like this, it will go some way towards reassuring those of us concerned about the quality of @FairfaxMedia papers and the future of investigative journalism https://t.co/g5jLgzUOiz Nice work @FarrahTomazin @TammyMills1
