Post my mother's death at the Cabrini hospital, I made exhaustive efforts to hold the hospital to account - see https://t.co/hMI4kYnaXy The regulatory regime is hopelessly inadequate!!! Dr Gordon's story is unsurprising. @MaryFFallon @Milliganreports

Complaints had been made about this gynaecologist for years. Only when hospital management discovered that Four Corners was looking into his practice, did it start investigating further.

A disappointing feature of my interactions with the City of Melbourne is that I have NEVER felt that the council regards access to drinking water a priority. My emails speak to this: https://t.co/bppu8bZIzm @LexiDaish @Nicholas_Reece @alimoore004 @LordMayorMelb @theage

In July 1888, in the choking heat of London’s East End, around 1,400 women and teenage girls walked out of the Bryant & May match factory and into history. They were poor. Many were Irish. Most were teenagers supporting entire families on wages so low that a single fine—for

A week ago, Jon sent the photo below, which is in fact from Queensbridge Square, to illustrate how the drinking fountain could be reconnected. There has been NO further communication from him nor City of Melbourne!!! @LexiDaish @LordMayorMelb @Nicholas_Reece @theage @alimoore004

Peter Mandelson’s had a torrid few days, hounded on his doorstep by the Daily Mirror press pack, so naturally, he took a little breather with Prince Andrew at Pizza Express. {satire}

In common with Annie Moylan, whose sepsis symptoms were misdiagnosed at Holmesglen Private Hospital, which is owned by Healthscope, James' parents didn't draw a distinction between this hospital and The Alfred. @ktshtn @LexiDaish https://t.co/senJTfgtj1

Queensbridge Square drinking fountain hasn't worked for 4 months! The City of Melbourne has ignored South East Water's solution of an above-ground connection. Both have failed to respond to my email https://t.co/gssIWFDEwk @LexiDaish @LordMayorMelb @Simon_Bouda @Nicholas_Reece

Freedom tastes like the open sky. Before flying, it looked again at the one who gave her back her wings. Gratitude also takes the form of flight.

With, according to City of Melbourne & South East Water, a burst water main beneath the Red Stairs and/or nearby buildings, making repairs impossible, the status of the competition is a minor issue. @Nicholas_Reece @DANNYTRAN @alimoore004 @Raf_Epstein

Vivian Bullwinkel bravely stood up for her murdered colleagues when she appeared at the Tokyo War Crimes Tribunal in 1946 to tell the world what had occurred at Radji Beach. Perpetrators largely evaded earthly justice; the commander of the Japanese unit committed suicide.

“Chin up, girls, I’m proud of you, and I love you all.” These were the final words of Matron Irene Drummond on 16 February 1942, moments before 22 Australian nurses were marched into the sea and Japanese soldiers opened fire on them. This atrocity, known as the Bangka Island

Two lovely photos of gifted leader Matron Irene Drummond (with glasses), with her nurses. Even in the last minutes of her life that terrible day on Bangka Island, Irene did not stop caring for her young nurses, calling out "Chin up girls! I'm proud of you and I love you all".
