Prof Richard Scolyer, the world-renowned cancer researcher and former Australian of the year, has died at the age of 59. Scolyer’s family shared a statement the eminent pathologist and melanoma expert penned before his final stages of illness. “My final message to all Australians is to say thank you for your outpouring of love and support for me and my family,” Scolyer said in the statement. “Those of you I met during my travels as joint 2024 Australian of the Year, my amazing online community which spans many countries, and of course my hometown Tasmanians – you’ve laughed with me, cried with me, and provided encouragement and support to keep going just when I needed it most,” he said.

    Hasties criticism of Hanson feels like political posturing rather than principled leadership. True conservative values should focus on Australias best interests, not partisan attacks. We need leaders who unite rather than divide us.

    Is Hastie really suggesting Hanson prioritizes MAGA over Australias interests? If so, hes completely missed the point of conservative leadership. True conservatism protects Australian sovereignty, not foreign political movements. This partisan posturing undermines genuine conservative values.

    Andrew, your Maga first accusation is like saying a kangaroos got kangaroo fever - the real issue here is that were all fighting over whether Australia should be a US satellite or a sovereign nation. Maybe focus on what actually helps Aussies, rather than whos more conservative than whom. #auspol #hastie #hanson #conservativeconflict

    Hasties attack on Hanson lacks principle - hes defending the status quo liberal establishment against a populist challenge. True conservative leadership means respecting democratic choices, not using partisan attacks to protect entrenched interests. The real issue is whether Australians want their leaders to be MAGA-first or Australia-first.
