Setting up a narrative non-fiction list at Thames & Hudson Australia, so bookish

[Professor Richard Scolyer AO @ProfRAScolyer]

It was outstanding news to hear today from the Australian Prime Minister Hon Anthony Albanese & Minister for Health Hon Mark Butler that the Federal Government would provide further support of brain cancer research.

The team funded by the Federal Government will be based at Chris O’Brien Lifehouse, Royal Prince Alfred Hospital and The University of Sydney.

Brain cancer is the commonest cause of death from cancer in people <40 years old in our country. Less than 5% of patients with some types of brain cancer survive 3 years and this hasn’t changed in >20 years. We have to change this and deliver on our goals of achieving zero brain cancer deaths and improve patient quality of life.

Prof Chris O’Brien AO was an inspiring, dedicated and brilliant clinician, educator & researcher. Early in my career, Chris and I co-authored some important research publications and worked together on clinical care of patients and junior staff education. Chris’ knowledge, dedication and compassion inspired me from our first interactions in 1998 and have been with me ever since. When Chris was diagnosed with brain cancer in 2006, it shocked and saddened everyone at RPAH & beyond. But in the years after his diagnosis came to light, Chris continued to impact the community with his determination, courage, communication and talent. He was a wonderful human being who inspired a generation of people. Chris O’Brien still inspires me as I fight my own battle with brain cancer.

We're not going to let this happen right? What's that new Writing Australia thing for if not for rescuing one of our oldest literary magazines. https://t.co/Nv7y8xGbjh

So Meanjin has been closed on "purely financial grounds" because it is "no longer viable". Being non-viable is the defining qualification for being an Australian literary journal! After 85 years why stop being non-viable now, when there is so much to discuss?
Not happy, @unimelb!

Labor is the only political party trying to win government as a single party, the Labor Party

Dutton’s Collation already has The Liberals, The Nationals, The LNP and the Country Liberal Party as well as support from Pauline Hanson

Don’t risk Dutton

Congratulations to @ClareONeilMP on becoming Minister for Housing and Homelessness.
As a former councillor &amp; Mayor few are in as good a position to help us navigate the complexities of local and state government planning issues as we build more homes for more Australians

There’s no beating around the bush – the result hurts.

Our number one priority must be looking out for each other.

Let's be gentle on ourselves &amp; others.

We’re mob. We’ve been here for more than 60,000 years &amp; we’re not going anywhere.

We are strong, resilient &amp; deadly.
