Today a family friend told me that she's going to focus her #cancer fund-raising efforts on #ovariancancer because #ovarian #cancer has been allowed to languish. I burst into tears when she told me. I wish that we could apply the principle of equity to how we respond to #Cancer

This just sucks. This disease killed my mother in 1989. I was 21. And yet, all these years later, the prognosis is still grim, and more women are being taken. Itβs wrong.
Today is #WorldOvarianCancerDay. I was expecting to be in #Melbourne as an @ocrfaustralia Community Ambassador, talking about my #ovariancancer experience. I was also going to be modelling the 2023 @witcheryfashion 'White Shirt', with all funds going to #ovarian #cancer #research
To mark #WorldOvarianCancerDay I was so pleased to share my #ovariancancer story with Kay Harrison for @UNSW. Together we can turn things around for women and girls with this horrible disease, or at risk of developing #ovarian #Cancer

Thank you to A/Prof Siobhan O'Sullivan @so_s from @UNSWADA who has shared her story about being diagnosed with ovarian cancer, and advocating for increased awareness and research funding for this devastating disease:

Instead, I am once again in #hospital, trying my absolute hardest to stay alive a little longer. If you have #ovaries. If you care about somebody with ovaries, please join with me in supporting #ovariancancer #research.
You can: make a donation to an #ovariancancer charity. Familiarise yourself with the early warning signs. Tell at least one woman about #ovarian #cancer and how they can help. Let's rule a line under this horrible disease before we lose another generation of women. #WOCD2023
A new funding round has just opened @ocrfaustralia. Are you a talented researcher ready to make a difference to the lives of women with #ovariancancer? Find out more here: ocrf.com.au/page/111/ocrf-grβ¦

Predictable approach from @NationalFarmers. Jump on every opportunity to stifle progress on animal welfare, then run to government when the consequences of such obstinance come back to bite (1/11)

Farmersβ plea for government support against animal activists has been met with a promise βto ensure continual improvements to animal welfare practicesβ.

I am so pleased to renew my @AASA_Animals. Such a great organisation, and at $60 for the waged, it is a bargain!

PS I just realised that I am not waged anymore! But doesn't matter. I support with pride
When my colleague and co-author @MichaelMcGann17 learnt that we were to receive a sizable royalty payment for our book 'Buying and Selling the Poor': sydneyuniversitypress.com.au⦠he immediatly suggested that we donate the money to @ocrfaustralia. Our third author Mark Considine agreed
It felt wonderful today to send through $1,500 to @ocrfaustralia.
I'm absolutely delighted to receive my copy of @MichaelMcGann17's new book on welfare-to-work in #Ireland. This copy is for my home office. But I'll be asking @UNSWLibrary to purchase a copy as I know many people will want to read it. Big congrats again! #employment #publicpolicy
'Evidence' is such a trendy @abcnews issue. Let's all join together and abandon evidence in policy make. Great contribution by our opposition leader π€¦ββοΈ @InsidersABC #Insiders #publicpolicy #auspol
I had a fantastic day today snorkelling with @EcoTreasures Manly. I saw two wobbegongs, a stingray and SO MANY FISH. If you have a passion for #snorkelling I highly recommend Cabbage Tree Bay. Now my birthday is done and done, and I start radiotherapy tomorrow.

So moved to hear @capperflapper, @MikeGStein & @bigredbenknight give me a shout out on their #podcast The Phone Hacks. They have arranged for me to see Capper as a VIP at the @TheStore. Being terminally ill with #ovariancancer is horrible, but so many have shown so much kindness.
