Griffith Nathan campus is uglier than I remember. Just passed a group loudly talking about how privatising education would be a good thing. Any of you study here?

for the sake of the thread - sounds like security contravened the anti-discrimination act, besides beating someone on bullshit grounds.
i hope they lawyer up and press charges, get some loving scum out of the security business.

Guys, I need your help. Cairns Hospital are trying to wipe their hands of me. They are too understaffed & want Brisbane to take over my plasma exchange. That means moving back to Brisbane indefinitely. My Specialist spent all morning convincing them this is a bad idea as my whole support network is in Cairns. For now, Cairns have agreed to continue on.

I need a tablet called eculizumab for a condition called Haemolytic Uraemic Syndrome. The drug company has agreed to supply the tablet for me provided the hospital/government pay for the first 2 to see if it works. The tablet is $35000 a pop. If you have a spare 5 minutes please write to our local MP, I have been going to Warren Entsch, & help me get my life back.

* Close friend has to write to his Cairns state MP, and the state minister for Health but first:
* Close friend needs to go to legal aid http://www.legalaid.qld.gov.au and get legal advice, they should also put him towards a support group that has experience with this. In any case, your friend will need to lawyer up.

I really want to emphasise your friend needs legal advice and support.

You can get pleasant wishes, and vague promises of action. But you really need it in black and white that Cairns hospital has a duty of care and they'd be failing their duty of care by sending you away to Brisbane and your support network. It will also give your friend a little piece of mind that he knows exactly where he stands and exactly what he's entitled to.

Distressingly, I think Morrison performed well. Counsel Assisting needed to be much more of an attack dog, and the President slipped up embarrassingly a few times.

As editor of the Lowy Interpreter Sam Roggenveen points out, Australia's image as a robust democracy is seen as one of our greatest soft-power strengths.
"So while Bishop was telling the Chinese ambassador how disgraceful Palmer's comments were, I hope she also found time to say that this sort of thing is commonplace in a democracy, and that as a nation we not only survive it but are even strengthened by the debate it provokes," he said.
