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.
Memphis is free! 🐨💚 This eight year old and his magnificent nose have officially headed home to the wild after completing his treatment. So proud of you Memphis, you did it! 🌿🐾 #koalarescue#koalarelease
I LOVE how @NicolleDWallace is covering this, with the same gusto the right wing went after Biden.
The White House SWEARS trump was wide awake yesterday, but we all know what wide awake is, don't we? trump was OUT.
He is a total laughingstock.
25th Amendment NOW
After rejecting STEVEN SPIELBERG multiple times the late great DAVID LYNCH was finally persuaded to play the legendary John Ford by Laura Derns, and a dressing room rider involving Cheetos.
THE FABELMANS (2022)
The Somerset Farmhouse of 1 North Street, Williton were approached by a "food influencer" that wanted to charge them £2,000 for a review.
They put out a video of Sally eating a sausage roll instead 😆.
Lets make Sally and the Somerset Farmhouse famous for free.
Tanya Plibersek shows how clueless the head-wobbling Barnaby Joyce is about Urgent Care Clinics given 50 were promised and 87 have been opened.
(Barnaby had tried to deflect to there being no doctors in hospitals, but that only showed why the LNP have him in witness protection)
Just pulled over by the cops, coming off the Bridge, for a breathalyser.
Nice cop: "When did you have your last drink, sir?"
Me: "14 September, 2014."
Nice cop: [Sigh.] "I wish I could say the same . . . "
Imagine voting for this.
Pauline Hanson thinks there's an equivalence between herself, being convicted for electoral fraud, then acquitted, and someone now charged with war crimes.
Like chalk and cheese. #auspol
Sexism just has no place in our political debate, full stop.
A billboard truck using sexist language has been driving around Melbourne as part of a secret and well-funded political campaign.
People are entitled to disagree with me. That’s democracy.
But I care that this attacks women.
And I care about who’s next.
The political debate in this country has become corrosive over the last few years.
So much so that behaviour which would once have been condemned is now just another part of life.
Media don’t call it out.
They report on this like it’s fair game, like it’s normal.
But nothing about this is normal.
If you don’t take a stand against this creeping culture, it has a tendency of taking over.
You only have to look at America to know that.
I cannot stand back and let Victoria become a place where this sort of language is fair game against any woman at work - or any woman in leadership.
If we don’t draw a line, the line will keep moving.
At the end of the day, I just want my kids to grow up knowing that women deserve the same respect as men.
I want girls to know that they should never need to aim lower just to feel safer.
And I want boys to know that they don’t have to put women ‘in their place’ to make their own way in the world.
Sexism hurts everyone.
If the media won’t call out it, I will.
Australia are a pack of WHINGERS!
Read about a woman in America who’s been paying ONE ambulance bill off since 2020!
Others who refuse to go in an ambulance no matter the emergency as ONE ambulance ride could cost thousands!
A child beaks their arm while playing.
Cost THOUSANDS at the emergency room at a hospital.
This would be Australia under One Nation.
Hanson supports American style healthcare.
