Great investigation by @RadioNational into the surveillance and intimidation of Iranian-Australians who protest and speak out against the regime's brutality here in Australia. It's time @ausgov starts taking the threat from Iran more seriously.

I know I say this most weeks but it’s especially true this time: this week’s show is amazing and you just have to listen. Incredibly brave Iranian Australians speaking out for the first time about threats and intimidation against them and their families in Iran.

For months @ClaudiaLongsays & I have been asking why so many women feel excruciating pain during IUD insertions, but say they weren't warned about it.
They're one of the most failsafe contraceptives, but Australia's uptake is low. Does pain have something to do w/ it? Our story:
