Commentary: A team that saved the day
Commentaries reflect the opinion of the writer(s), not the Rapp News. Comment below or by writing a letter to the editor: editor@rappnews.com. One of the scariest days of my life was June 25. My husband, Ewen, and I were hosting our 13-year-old grandson, Henry, and his buddy, Drew, from Falls Church for a few days. kA 5:ClQ=ECQm%96 52J 367@C6[ E96 3@JD 925 9:<65 2?5 EF365 5@H? 7C@> E96 4@?7=F6?46 @7 E96 #FD9 2?5 r@G:?8E@?
What the Bondi Junction tragedy tells us about compulsory treatment
How could this happen? Why would he do it? Were there failures in our health system, or our policing, or in the laws governing how mental illness is managed that led to this moment? We now know that Joel Cauchi had been diagnosed with a severe mental illness – schizophrenia – at age 17. According to his parents, after telling his doctor that he disliked the side effects of his medication, Cauchi asked for help to come off it – despite his doctor’s warnings.
Should more lawyers take a sabbatical? How a sabbatical can transform your wellbeing and productivity
By - Sep 28, 2023 12:27 pm AEST For burned out lawyers, taking a longer break from work offers opportunity for personal and professional rejuvenation. Commercial lawyer Corinne Whelan has twice done something in her short career that many practitioners never manage in an entire working lifetime: take a sabbatical. The first, a six-month break from work, was borne out of necessity after her mother died.
Universities can’t forget about lower socio-economic students
There has recently been significant chatter in the media and in higher education circles about how to increase the number of Australians who go to university – a closing of the ‘equity gap’. In particular, a hopeful increase in graduates from rural and lower socio-economic groups who may not have thought it an option. But as someone from a working-class family with a public-school education who made that leap, I can’t help but wonder – does everyone understand what that really means?
The Future of Mental Health, Disability and Criminal Law
This book brings together contributions from twenty-three world-leading scholars and commentators that address a range of contemporary and pressing international themes in mental health, disability and criminal law. The authors use the work of internationally renowned academic, Emeritus Professor Bernadette McSherry, as a springboard to reflect on recent developments in these areas of law and to anticipate the future directions they may take.
Building mentally healthy workplaces
After an AU$1.1 billion blowout to Victoria’s ‘broken’ WorkCover scheme, the State Government is considering narrowing coverage of mental health claims which are typically more expensive and take longer to resolve than physical health claims.
News about our production of Marvellous
28th July 2021 It is with huge regret that we have again been forced to postpone our forthcoming production of Marvellous, due to go into rehearsals shortly at the theatre. The impact of covid-related absences and self-isolation has already taken its toll on the production process and we are no longer in a position to continue to develop the show with this level of disruption continuing through the coming weeks.
AP Rewards IDF's Saving of Lives With a Spit in the Face
This is footage of a Gazan contractor of a 14-story building talking in Arabic to an Israeli army Intelligence officer: WATCH: The owner of al-Jalaa tower pleads with an Israeli officer on live TV to let journalists collect their gear before he bombs it.
The Raiders of the Lost Scrolls
The discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls months before the birth of the modern state of Israel, was arguably the greatest historical (as pertains to writing) find in history. Not only did it verify that the land of Israel had been the national homeland of our people for millennium, it confirmed the authenticity of the Tanach. The Hebrew scrolls dated two thousands years old, would be the same unchanged text passed on throughout the generations by the scribes.
Building back clean: green communities demands a rail revival
By Jacqueline Starr, CEO, Rail Delivery Group Over the last 12 months we have had cause to re-evaluate many things, from the way we live and work to the identities of our nation’s heroes, who we learnt are everyday people doing extraordinary things. It was also a year that brought our relationship with the planet into sharp focus. Images of bush fires in Australia and wildfires in California shocked the world.
The Terror Within: A Survivor's Tale - The Tower
How can you survive a terror attack without losing your respect for the humanity of the other side? How can you defeat terror without giving up on your soul? Held captive to depravity I knelt, gagged and bound, and waited to be beheaded. I remember the fusion of the fragrant pines and the stench of bile trapped under the rag around my mouth. I remember hearing the songs of the birds and the terrified whimper of my friend. I remember a bright light; a machete glinting in the sun.
The Apathy of Auschwitz
When I heard that Prince Charles was coming to Israel to join in a ceremony that marks the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz Birkenau, I thought that since he was here anyway, it would be a good opportunity for me and other British Israeli survivors of terrorism from One Family Together, to meet him for a few minutes during his four day visit.
JMK & COMMON: RECLAIMING WORKING AND UNDER-CLASS IDENTITY
5th December 2019 JMK & COMMON: RECLAIMING WORKING AND UNDER-CLASS IDENTITY New Vic Theatre 14th December 2019 14:00-18:00 Cost: Free Are you a working or under-class theatre director or maker? Do you feel like an imposter within the arts? How often have you convinced yourself you aren’t right for a job or opportunity because of your class? Are you exhausted by being labelled a creative from a socio-economically “disadvantaged” background?
An in-depth look at The Rage Less Traveled and PTSD with Sheila Gunn Reid of Rebel Media
An interview with Shelia Gunn Reid, one of several journalists from Rebel Media who fearlessly challenge the mainstream media fake news. Aside from explaining PTSD in depth, I got to talk about other things, such as the sham of the United Nations refugee camps, their libelous fabrication of perpetual victimhood, the Nazi-like propaganda oozing from the Palestinian Authority, the cowardly and appeasing BBC and the immoral funding of murderers by the British government.
I got to talk about PTSD and The Rage Less Traveled on LBC Radio
For years I have been trying to get on British National TV and radio, and just as I was getting out the car to speak at my book launch, my friend Brian of London called to say that on @LBC they were talking about PTSD. I called in and to my astonishment I got through. Although I was a bit unfocused, I managed to say all the important points such as why Kristine was murdered and how the UK government are funding terrorism.
The Rage Less Traveled Audio Book out NOW!
I’m thrilled to announce The Rage Less Traveled has just been released on Audible and iTunes. I decided to read it myself, because it is only me who knows how deeply this attack affected me. No one else can get in my head. It wasn’t easy because it brought everything very close again, but I think the results are even better than I expected. If you’re the kind of person who is too busy to read, now you can at least “read” the book while jogging, driving, cooking, or walking the dogs. Enjoy.
We Are Dying of Overexposure to Death
Let me tell you what has scarred me for life. It wasn’t just the machete, or being beaten to a pulp, or the shock that I might soon be dead as my friend and I were attacked by Palestinian terrorists in 2010. It wasn’t even the humiliation that came from begging for my life from those who thought themselves strong. It was witnessing the death of another human being. Not just watching, but listening, too.
As I Lay Dying: Life After Surviving a Terrorist Attack
When my friend and I sat under a canopy of Jerusalem pines, she asked me the time. Never did I dream that 30 minutes later she would be dead. I had never contemplated that someone would try to brutally murder me. Who does? At only 46 years old, I had never given death a thought. The half hour leading up to Kristine Luken’s execution (and the attempt on my life) was a madness so debilitating that even the moments necessary for preparing myself for death were strangled by the dread of the manner of it.
An Open Letter To The Mayor Of London Sadiq Khan About Al Quds Hate Day
This is not the first time I have written to you concerning events with a Jihadist and/or unbalanced agenda taking place in London. I hope that this time, my letter will warrant a response from you.
The Rage Less Traveled
While the blood of innocents was being mopped up off a theater floor in France, a video titled, “A father and son have the most precious conversation,” goes viral. In the clip the boy tells his father, “We should leave Paris because Les Mechants (the villains) have guns and they will come to shoot us.” The father reassures his son that although the villains have guns, they (the French) have flowers and candles. “Do the flowers and candles protect us?” asks the son.
Guest Post (Kay Wilson): What Is It Like To Be Stabbed 13 Times?
Kay Wilson is a British-born Israeli tour guide, jazz musician and cartoonist. She is the survivor of a brutal terror attack. Since the attack she is a public speaker for StandWithUs and OneFamily Together. She has described her attack in a TedX talk. Imagine what it is like…. to be stabbed. Most of you probably can’t. Firstly, the word “stabbed” does not do the experience justice. In Hebrew it is even worse, because “stabbed” is the same word לדקור that one uses when being “pricked” by a needle.

Egypt keeps Rafah crossing open for a third day
Egypt kept its Rafah border crossing with Gaza open for a third day on Tuesday, state media said, after nearly 2,000 people used the terminal in the first two days. The Rafah crossing, the only access point to the Gaza Strip not controlled by Israel, opened on Sunday for only the second time in two months to allow people stranded in Egypt to enter the Palestinian enclave. State news agency MENA said that 1,950 people had used the crossing since it was opened.
