Geoffrey Watson SC on Paul Brereton as the head of the NACC: “I wouldn’t pick a military person to run any kind of body like this.” As a former Army officer with first-hand experience dealing with IGADF, I laughed when Brereton was given this role. abc.net.au/listen/program…

From the veteran suicide Royal Commission final report. The fact that Defence doesn’t have a brain injury program is negligence at the highest level.

Phil Thompson was one of our biggest barriers in the campaign to make this Royal Commission happen. He basically ran Scott Morrison's stonewalling campaign, using every cynical political stunt in the book. Somebody should shove the report up his backside. townsvillebulletin.com.au/news/herbert-m…

Advocates were hammered for raising concerns about the NDIS Bill driving suicide risk, despite evidence to the Senate inquiry outlining exactly how some of the changes would increase such risks. It was rammed through anyway, without addressing some of the biggest factors. 1/🧵

Going through the fine print of the Royal Commission into Defence and Veteran Suicide final report, the person who decided to discontinue the neurocognitive health program was Major General Liz Cosson (rtd). A conscious decision was made to keep pushing affected veterans down the path of PTSD misdiagnosis and

Another example of the toxic Australian Department of Veterans' Affairs's continued disdain for the veterans and families they're supposed to be helping: media responses from an anonymous departmental spokesperson. I don't know why journos print this rubbish if it's not attributed by name. abc.net.au/news/2024-09-1…

Regarding recommendation 61, this is part of a brief I gave to Colonels Nicole Sadler and Isaac Seidl from Joint Health Command in 2016. Seidl is now your Deputy Surgeon-General. The day you charge him with negligent performance of duty is the day I'll believe what you're
