My ABC News investigation reveals 2 major fertility clinics have sent sperm donors inaccurate family lists of the children born from their donation; in one case, 3 times over. One major clinic recently lost all a donor’s newly donated blood for screening www.abc.net.au/news/2025-06...

Sperm donor Mark met his biological kids. Then the IVF clinic found a mistake
Some of Australia's largest IVF clinics have passed inaccurate information about children born from sperm donations to their male donors.

‘Our autistic son was manipulated by speech therapists who put words in his mouth’
Alex’s parents were told he was ‘communicating’ via a controversial method – soon, their excitement turned to suspicion

“Gaga for the woo woo” should be the title for the LNP election review www.smh.com.au/politics/fed... via @garynunn.bsky.social

Nothing suss about Sussan’s extra ‘s’. Many leaders go gaga for woo-woo
Sussan Ley was influenced by numerology. But is it less ludicrous than theology?

@garynunn.bsky.social thank you for this. I spent years mentoring the ‘working class gifted’ and telling them how much more they were worth to employers vs well supported kids with the same grades. This observation isn’t made often enough: www.theneweuropean.co.uk/i-was-a-soci...

I was a social mobility experiment. Here's how it changed my life
Summer schools sent underprivileged kids like Wes Streeting and I to university. Reuniting with some of them 25 years on, this is what I found

Today’s @abcnews long read is on #ADHD and is written by me. It specifically looks at a way of managing the condition without medication: the ADHD coach. They do 9 months of training, zero marketing to recruit clients & charge $190+ per hour. More here: www.abc.net.au/news/2025-01...

ADHD diagnoses are skyrocketing but coaching can help
With more Australians than ever being diagnosed with ADHD, how do the treatments on offer stack up?

Australia's Macquarie Dictionary crowns #enshittification as the word of 2024 As @pluralistic.net.web.brid.gy said earlier this year: "We’re all living through the enshittocene, a great enshittening, in which the services that matter to us, that we rely on, are turning into giant piles of shit”
