@JoLuck Totally agree, @JoLuck. I would really like the extra layer of protection the new bivalent vaccines provide against the current variant.

At the @EHA_LTD Qld #symposium this week. Caught up with some of our @CQUpublichealth #graduates who are presenting papers. So #inspiring to see the good work they’re doing in #environmentalhealth. @CQU @CQUniAlumni @MichelleBellin9 @CQUniNews @CQUniversityVC

I challenge any serious health professional to show evidence of “mental health impacts” of mandating seat belts in cars.
I remember when that was introduced in NSW in 1971 and many people didn’t like it. But it was enforced and it saved lives.

Dear America,

I study violence and I study mental health. The problem is access to guns.

I’m also the elected president of the International Society for Research on Aggression. International experts agree— it’s the guns.

Regards,

Tracy

Disappointed to see few #Australian delegates at #GPDRR. Reading the #official Australian statement, the focus is on #humanitarian & #development aid. While this is laudable, why is #DFAT not also addressing #climate #risks to Australians? @AlboMP @CQUpublichealth @CQUni_HMAS

[#NoNaturalDisasters @NoNatDisasters]

The #NoNaturalDisasters campaign is intrinsically linked to the broader campain for #InclusiveDRR.

Such a narrow, binary view of 'gender mainstreaming' in disasters fails us all.

Our Deputy Director @ZitaSebesvari spoke about #adaptation, tipping points & #CascadingRisks, and emphasized the need to include discussions on global responsibility in the design of the #GlobalGoals for adaptation at #GPDRR2022.

Final day of #GPDRR2022

I emphasized that “short cuts are more expensive in the long run”- a quote appreciated by attendees This applies across #SDGs when seeking #sustainability, #resilience & #prevention

Time for the Closing Ceremony of the 7th Global Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction #GPDRR2020 What a fantastic week! Thanks to all the organisers and presenters for making it a success. @CQU @CQUpublichealth @CQUniNews

[Lisa Bricknell @DrLisaBricknell]

Just completed another great session at #GPDRR2020 Great demonstration of the free, open sources of data that can be used to assess the risks of climate change, disaster hazards & wellbeing. #undrr #rix #geos @CQUpublichealth @CQU @CQUni_HMAS

[Lisa Bricknell @DrLisaBricknell]

Currently in a great interactive and hands on session learning about tool used in comprehensive disaster and risk management. Such a cosmopolitan audience! #gpdrr2020 @CQUpublichealth @CQUni_HMAS

26 years ago, a gunman entered Port Arthur in Australia, killing 35 people. The Australian govt responded by enacting tight gun control legislation. In the 9400+ days since, there have been a total of 0 comparable mass shootings (defined as 10 or more deaths) in Australia #Uvalde

@farid__jalali Rockhampton is a regional city in Queensland, Australia without a gastroenterologist. We have universal health care, a new, progressive government and decent gun laws. Our regional cities are safe and a great place to raise kids.

Back at the #GPDRR2022 this morning to hear about nature-based solutions to #disaster risk reduction, climate hazards and the #SDGs #publichealth @CQUpublichealth @CQUni_HMAS @CQU @EHA_LTD

We cannot reach the end of poverty without looking at equity. We have to choose and understand how much is enough. In the IPCC we can reach up to 70% just by changing the way we eat.
