Meet hatred with kindness,.Fabrications with fortitude,.Personal attacks with principle,.And hate mail & threats with a shredder or delete & block button. Listen before you speak. Work to build empathy, and look for common ground with others if they'll let you.

Let's never take for granted the importance of our public health systems in Australia for #vaccination policy. Govt support, expert oversight & international collaboration. The US administration's astonishing ignorance & paranoia is costing lives.

Trump & Netanyahu are birds of a feather. They claim the moral kudos of leading democracies (& democracy is founded upon respect for the law), but happily break those laws when they find them inconvenient. Chaos & destruction follow them like shadows.

Five years on, it's timely to remember that #Covid19 is here to stay. Though too early for 2025 mortality data, last year's numbers put things in perspective. You can make sensible decisions to protect vulnerable groups people. Australia is a place where we care about each other.

I loved watching "ER" when I was a resident. But I can't watch "The Pitt". It's too close to home. I take the care of self & colleagues much more seriously these days.

We're now living in a world where might is right, where evidence counts for little, and the rules-based order that largely prevailed following 1945 is over. There seems to be this collective urge to shoot first, and ask questions later.

Bombing any hospital, anywhere deserves utter condemnation. Even in the darkest moments, it is essential to remember our common humanity. 'I was lying in bed. The ceiling fell in': At the scene of Israeli hospital hit by Iran strike - BBC News

While the world focuses of the Israel-Iran conflict, it appears that the horrific treatment of Gaza only intensifies. Starving people being killed for the crime of seeking some of the trickle of food. A population being punished for being Palestinian.

Nobody is worth employing for figures that go to the levels I'm talking about. There's more to executive appointment than just remuneration, and anyone who thinks remuneration is a good indicator of skill and expertise hasn't sat on a board or remuneration committee.

There remain far too many executive remuneration packages that can be described as obscene & indefensible. Nobody should even try to suggest an eight figure pay packet should even be on the table. You lead by example.

Around a cabinet or board table, in a professional sporting team or in a national population, diversity is the way to build strength & realise potential. While America does itself terrible harm, we Australians must remind ourselves of the value & power of our multiculturalism.

I fear for our American friends, & I detest the poisonous influence Trump is having across the globe, promoting intolerance & conflict. Time and again, history has shown that fascism inevitably leads to self-destruction. How tragic that it has taken root in the land of Jefferson.

When the hatred, corruption, greed & destruction in our world make my battery run low, I try even harder to experience the things that inspire, comfort & nurture me. And there are no shortage of those.

When egomaniacs get together, it usually leads to carnage, and always ends in tears. Be humble in any leadership you undertake. That's how you get the best from yourself & your team.

One of the more exclusive parking spots I've seen.

In an era when so many think being a good journalist is easy, here's a person who has shown how it's done for decades. Respect for complexity, attention to detail, respectful but persistent & fearless. Her critics couldn't come to terms with serious scrutiny. Thanks @latingle.

This is the last surviving child of Dr Alaa al-Najjar, a Gaza Paediatrician. Her other 9 children were killed, & her Physician husband critically injured by Israeli strikes. She was on duty when their bodies were brought in. Let that sink in.

Ange Postecoglou. The closest thing I've seen to Ted Lasso in real life.

Two American men currently hold globally important leadership positions, & their differences could not be more stark. Rarely is there such an opportunity to see polar opposites define the qualities that make for leadership with unity & integrity, or division & corruption.
