Deeply saddened by the apparent attack on dear @helenhainesindi, a shining light of decency, integrity, and goodness and a highly-respected senior health professional.
Wishing for as speedy and full a recovery as superb health care can enable.

Use of starvation as a weapon of war creates unprecedented moral challenge for the world, says UN Special Rapporteur on right to food. “So far the world has met this challenge with an alarming lack of accountability and impunity.”

Glad to see Congress moving. For more about the US-Saudi nuclear deal, read Alan Kuperman (@Kuperman2020)'s piece published earlier this week in @BulletinAtomic: thebulletin.org/2026/10/cong…
The U.S.-Saudi nuclear deal is about megatons, not megawatts. Trump should not be sharing nuclear bomb technology with a nation that U.S. intelligence says may want nuclear weapons. This is the starting gun for a Middle East nuclear arms race. We must reject this dangerous deal.
ALT Graphic of headline that reads, "Democratic Senators Move to Block U.S.-Saudi Nuclear Deal. The move will force a vote on the agreement after the midterm elections, though it faces steep odds in the Republican-controlled Congress even amid bipartisan concern about the deal." Full text of article linked in reply.

Killing or injuring healthcare workers, bombing hospitals, and targeting ambulances aren't just "war consequences." They are a collapse of humanity.
Under international humanitarian law, patients and humanitarian workers are protected along with the hospitals they work in and the ambulances they rely on.
ALT Healthcare workers, patients, hospitals, and ambulances must be protected and respected.

Great news that High Court has ruled Scope 3 emissions (exported carbon pollution) must be considered in new environmental approvals for coal mines. I’ve moved two Bills in the Parliament to that effect, both times rejected by the enviro-vandals in the ALP and LNP #auspol

In Gaza, Palestine, Israel continues to systematically destroy the conditions people need to survive through violence, the deliberate blockade of essential supplies, and the destruction of healthcare and vital infrastructure.

An Australian hospital cancelled a planned talk by 2 surgeons about their experiences working in conflict zones after raising concerns about a perceived “pro-Palestinian bias”
“Pro-Palestinian bias” is Doctors sharing their firsthand experiences treating children under horrific, high-pressure conditions is!
Israel is truly the antithesis of humanity.

This is fact, and also the inciting incident in my book BIOLOGICAL WAR: A SCENARIO, which is unnerving.
