Curriculum redesign | RANZCP The first redesign of RANZCP's curriculum framework in 15 years.

[In my best Godfather impression]: You come to me on the day my daughter is to be married and you ask me to contribute to the major redesign of a bi-national specialist medical curriculum - for no money.

James McGrath having a moment about his unique ability to read people and read the room without any conversation or data points was a fascinating moment.

This is a bright red government and genocide is a bright red line. All eyes on you, Albanese, the very kind man.

The lesser of two evils now stands alone, greater than the sum of their parts. This is a Labor majority. There is no β€˜But Dutton Button’. No distractions. No deflections. No excuses. Nowhere to hide a lie.

Miss Polly had a dolly who was sick sick sick
So she called for the doctor to come quick quick quick
He looked at the dolly laying in her bed
And he told her it was all in her head

Headspace and Orygen's ties to the zionist regime and the colonisation of Palestine Text

It is no surprise that headspace (an organisation with ties to the genocidal Zionist regime) promptly comply with pressure to remove LGBTIQA+ affirming visuals when visited by a right-wing leader.

We could watch MAFS to β€˜learn about DV’ OR we could engage with the work of survivors, advocates, organisations and frontline services who have a heap of educational material that doesn’t rely on putting women into new abusive situations

The thin-obsessed world is growing more vicious by the minute. But fat people aren’t going anywhere | Rebecca Shaw It’s time to open up your big fat mouths and push back against fatphobia

My column this week is about how fucking BAD the body image/fatphobic vibes are at the moment and how other people need to engage before it destroys us all. I don’t ever insist you read my stuff but I’d love you to read this one www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

These are the voices mainstream Aus media continually choose to amplify over survivors who push for human rights based approaches

NSW psychiatrists are now correcting headlines because apparently it isn’t a β€œpay dispute’ which is a real hot take considering it is by definition a pay dispute and they’ve only started making that correction since their strategy landed like a lead balloon with the people they claim matter most.

Australian universities’ new antisemitism definition has some academics worried. Here’s why Warnings decision could have β€˜chilling’ effect and limit scope of education on Middle East

We spoke to @australia.theguardian.com about the dangers of the new antisemitism definition and its chilling on academic speech about Palestine. By labelling Palestinian political expressions as antisemitic, it will institutionalise anti-Palestinian racism.

If only there were proposals being made for community based peer led models and holistic care. Psychiatry has consistently consolidated the power of biomedical models and stunted the development of alternate frameworks. Of course wait lists are going to be long if you don’t share the load.

Animation - House of Representatives preferential voting
YouTube video by AEC TV Animation - House of Representatives preferential voting

There has been some popular misinformation circulating on social media today about preferential voting in Australian Federal elections. I find this video helpful.

Forgotten Finding my own worth in a frightening shadow world

"My disabled life is not glamorous, nor is it particularly beautiful. This life is unbearably lonely, often painful, and filled with fear of the unknown about the future. But it deserves to be witnessed."

I'm moved by the response to my article in
@croakeynews.bsky.social It is about the need for inclusion of Mad and survivor perspectives in public debate of mental health systems. I'd love for it to enter clinical conversations.

Aussies, sign this petition before tonight. We shouldn't be forced to depend on our partners if we are on the disability support pension, it puts us at great risk of abuse and heightens our vulnerability.
