@NigelStobbs 90% of kids in WA youth detention had brain impairments. A product of systemic failures in health, education, child protection, disabilities. Populism = let’s lock up kids whose brains don’t work properly. Crack downs have been tried – they don’t work!

@JPHowcroft maybe simpler if the Wallabies just forfeit the next Bledisloe and save their energy for something more productive

@MikeFrancis59 @cassdiva1 @normanswan I am a practising paediatrician (for the last 30 years). Regardless of whether Norman is practising he is still on top of his game.

I’m afraid we’ve known since the 1st wave that the NSW incremental approach doesn’t work & risks a very prolonged lockdown. A proportionate response is the maximal one and has been all along. Plus what’s their root cause analysis saying about the overseas’ leaks we know about?

@mdavisqlder @CrippsKyllie @drcbond What is the plan/ strategy that should have been?

#HearOurVoices NOFAS-UK Chief Executive Sandy Butcher spoke today at the Royal Society of Medicine's meeting on Understanding NDPAE/FASD - She urged the professionals to listen to the voices of those with FASD and those supporting them. facebook.com/NorthWestFASD/…

@CCCH_AU @HarrietHiscock @MCRI_for_kids @abcnews True - and the next question is why are they anxious or depressed?

We see this all the time in FASD. Children are frequently judged to be willfully difficult on the assumption of average neurocognitive skills. The truth is they have a neurocognitive impairment, often multiple,and are responding to the chronic anxiety of inflated expectations. twitter.com/thinkkids/stat…

@VirginAustralia self check in down at Sydney. Slow slow slow slow

@DrDianneShanley Frequently we find with new FASD diagnoses it shifts the school perception from “won’t” ( willful disobedience) to “can’t” (brain based disability) which then allows a more empathetic approach pitched to the level of the child’s ability and not chronological age.

Lets shift perceptions from ‘this child is a problem’ to ‘this child has a problem’. twitter.com/eriksoninst/st…

Oh come on ball tampering has a long recent history with multiple payers (inc RSA) recently sprung. Just fine him, get on with it and confine the rest of the hyperbole to the Centre for Confected Outrage. #sandpapergate
