Professor Ian Brighthope played a significant role in "The Great Debate: Port Hedland vs The Premier," an event held in Perth on November 29, 2024. This debate was centered around the controversy regarding DNA contamination in the mRNA Covid-19 vaccines, following a motion by the Port Hedland Town Council to suspend these vaccines due to health concerns. The debate was a response to the Western Australian Premier's dismissal of the Port Hedland motion, highlighting a clash between local governance and state policy regarding public health measures.

Unlike many who head to university straight out of high school, Catherine took a different path, living life and gaining experiences until a dream took hold at the age of 33 — the dream of becoming a teacher. She found herself standing at the front of a classroom filled with 30 eager faces. But as she navigated the ins and outs of the education system, she couldn't help but feel a sense of disillusionment. It led her to question the very core of our educational institutions. So, she began to ask herself, what is the true purpose of education? Are we genuinely preparing students for the challenges of life beyond the classroom, or have we become entangled in a system that has lost its way?" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PsLRgEYf9E…
