With the passing of Richard Scolyer, we have lost one of our brightest lights and one of our biggest hearts.
As the joint 2024 Australian of the Year, Professor Scolyer took his place in the national spotlight with determination and purpose as he very publicly dealt with his glioblastoma, an aggressive form of brain cancer.
Every day, this remarkable man – the cancer specialist who became his own subject – took us into his confidence, and he lifted us all in the process.
Richard’s journey was difficult and confronting. “My uncertain path”, as he termed it with characteristic understatement.
Yet it was one he travelled with courage, determination, and a grace that never ceased to be remarkable. The way he shared it with us was an act of profound generosity. He showed us what it means to hope, and to keep searching for solutions. He showed us how to stand firm against fear and stay true to yourself.
Now Richard’s journey is done, yet his legacy will always be with us. The recently established Richard Scolyer Chair at the Chris O’Brien Lifehouse proudly bears his name. And one day when a cure is found, Richard’s name will be spoken.
The hearts of all Australians go out to his wife, Dr Katie Nicholl, and their children, Emily, Matthew and Lucy.
And may Richard Scolyer rest in peace.
@dginnivan@insiders@KristenLock1@adropex@VoicesForAU We need to acknowledge that what is called democracy is in reality elected oligarchy. If you don't accurately identify what the problem is you can't fix it.
@TheKouk If it's too good to be true then almost invariably it is ... welfare accumulation without real Wealth Creation is a con and a scam and bad for the economy and society
Why it is unarguable that Gaza is a genocide. Simply now beyond doubt, from two of the most rigorous political thinkers I know. It’s a hideous supremacist plan to push all Palestinians out https://t.co/1IEuTFqDNC
@cheryl_kernot Dutton is a 'would be' PM ... What did Beasley tell you to not to reveal about Dutton? If it would help defeat him then shouldn't you make it public? Or is the risk still real?

Darkness is falling across the globe. In my four decades in the international human rights movement, I have seen much cruelty in all corners of this world. But I have never witnessed the kind of unmitigated evil demonstrated today by political Zionism. Adherents of this ruthless, hateful, deeply racist, & fundamentally violent ideology are now in power in the lawless U.S. government (and that of other Western governments), putting us all at risk. They are not only torturing, raping, & slaughtering innocents in Palestine, bombing & occupying several countries, corrupting governments across the West, arresting and deporting human rights defenders and students in the U.S., harassing those who dare to speak up, and dismantling our democratic institutions, but they are tearing down international law and the very principles of human morality itself. No malign force since the Nazism of the 1930s has represented such a grave threat to the world. Either we will defeat it, or it will destroy us. Thankfully, Jews, Christians, Muslims, atheists and others around the globe are standing up in record numbers to fight this evil, and that is the light that we must work to spread.
@panzerzdislaw @DavidPocock@FinancialReview What is called communism is the opposite of what communism really is. It is actually closer to a real democracy than what the so-called western democracies were. So they shut it down after World war One and turned it into an authoritarian dictatorship.

President Trump has no place imposing his ideologies on Australian researchers. This is an insidious intervention in Australia’s national sovereignty that runs contrary to fundamental principles of free speech, academic integrity and robust, evidence-based research.
