@madwixxy @BethCharleston I suspect he was ‘subtly’ referring to Bob Hawke as head of ACTU in 1973 (and PM in 1985 when Gough launched his memoirs, featured in this video)

@Peter_Fitz An inspirational leader and Doctor. There were about 100 other doctors on the railway. Roy Mills, Peter Hendry, Tom Brereton, Tom Hamilton and many others. All extraordinary. They all deserve to have their stories told. Check out Peter Winstanley’s work and his website.

@apretendperson @Peter_Fitz Compare to Google Maps. Quite a maze of reefs…

@GongGasGirl @DrRobbieErskine @neumanmd @DrSandman11 @LudwigLin RA was more important when using older diathermy rather than hotwire, and when using glycine solution for irrigation. ‘TURP syndrome’ was much more common, and spinals allowed monitoring of CNS toxicity.

@missyjack @sallyrugg The Lamb Ad hasnt mentioned the day for quite a few years. Great ads to go back through and remember what were the issues each year. 2017 my favourite.

@adambspencer @Peter_Fitz I think the ‘right’ response is to point out that the woke captain only took five out of ten wickets. Barely 50%….for both innings…

@MarkHope__1 @Peter_Fitz Social cohesion???? In Ireland???

@gillybean712 Brilliant! 😃. Thanks from down under!!!

@periopTTEcho @BJAJournals More like 120% Bonkers!!!

@GongGasGirl Used both. No great safety difference, and for some anxious patients (eg anxiety) definitely better in the AR, for others (logistical issues) better in the OR. Main reason to have the room is for talking, preparation, blocks etc. Much more efficient than no room at all!!

@DrNatalieSmith1 @twh @Anaesthesia @ac2023 @GongGasGirl Well done Natalie! Very well deserved, and recognition long overdue! 👏👏👏

#QandA Maybe the commonwealth Government could set up their own bank to provide some extra competition…

[Ross Kerridge @RossKerridge1]

#QandA Sally McManus’s ability to talk clearly and incisively is awesome!

[Ross Kerridge @RossKerridge1]

#QandA Why is Julian Assange in prison for revealing war crimes while PWC execs are unpunished for stealing financially sensitive information?

[Ross Kerridge @RossKerridge1]

#QandA Chris Masters is deserving praise, but Julian Assange is still in jail for revealing war crimes

@richardmdougla1 @BethCharleston @FredSmi35049640 @colonelhogans Indeed. The bravery of those who spoke out is immense.

@maffygirl @lotusgav @RCoANews The EMR (and every system) should specify, (separate from legal names), what the patient expects to be called. In scottish cultural tradition, males often go by the second legal name. Famously, Australian Prime Ministers Edward Gough Whitlam and John Malcolm Fraser both did this

[Ross Kerridge @RossKerridge1]

@NikoSarcevic @LiangRhea Yes, when I was younger and ‘on the way up’. Good advice. I think it is part of development as a speaker. Initially too rigid and nervous, then go through an overconfident/undisciplined phase, then become more disciplined and polished. When I slip back to phase two, disaster!

[Ross Kerridge @RossKerridge1]

@VillellajJohn @AaronDodd @NevilleBart0s No. It was stopping conscription. In essence, the money spent on two years military service (by those who were picked in the draft) was roughly equivalent to additional spending on university education.
