What makes me extra mad is that we are only hearing about this because they also assaulted non-Qatari women. Imagine how little of these incidents we actually hear about because it occurs to women who have no recourse for justice. theage.com.au/national/gross…

A travel ban for Australian citizens from India will come into effect with criminal sanctions. I read this was based on “expert medical advice”. If so, I’d like to see the advice and evidence that justifies placing these Australians in harms way. And what about rest of the world?

Lockdown is not our "worst nightmare" 9News Australia . Our worst nightmare is hospitals overrun with cases & buckling under the strain, a deadly virus out of control in the community and having to cope with loved ones dying from covid19.

I’ve been criticised for speaking about climate change. People saying I should “stay in my lane” as a doctor. Well let me say this — climate change is the greatest health threat facing our planet, and our species. Period. And as a doctor, I will continue to say so.
