Wakey, Wakey – You MUST take action now!

Hate, threats and cowardice

Hate, threats and cowardice

There are many people in this world I disagree with. I disagree with people who think that women should be kept at home, not paid equal wages for equal work or aren’t as intelligent as men.

Medical Vilification and Bigotry in Australia

Medical Vilification and Bigotry in Australia

Society likes to think that it’s come a long way. We no longer call black people ‘niggers’, gay people ‘poofters’ or Asian people ‘slit eyes’. We’ve gotten beyond all that now.

Pseudo-Skeptics Behaving Badly

Pseudo-Skeptics Behaving Badly

You already know my opinion about the group that calls itself the Australian Skeptics. It is a misnomer for people who belong to the Australian Skeptics and their splinter group, Stop the AVN to call themselves sceptical.

Get conflicts of interest out of health policy NOW!

The government knows that there are serious conflicts of interest involving those who make our health policies.
