A 7-month investigation into allegations of why tissue & reproductive organs were removed from young women. #Endometriosis affects 1 in 7 women. They're relieved it's in spotlight. But when does acknowledging suffering become something altogether different? Scarred, #4Corners Monday, 8.30pm, ABC TV.

the answers to these questions are deeply awful
BREAKING from me #4Corners: Why did top gynaecologist Simon Gordon perform 7 surgeries for "severe" #endometriosis on Courtney Paton, when pathology results repeatedly showed no signs of endometriosis? Why did he remove Courtney's ovaries & uterus by time she was 25? www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...
'Sickening': Courtney's doctor did seven surgeries that experts say she never needed
Pathology from Courtney's seven surgeries with Dr Simon Gordon repeatedly showed no signs of endometriosis. The surgeries left her medically infertile.

Analysis from me about historic passing of laws in Australia’s smallest jurisdiction, the ACT, to allow childhood abuse survivors to sue institutions for vicarious liability. What about other states? Lawyer Judy Courtin says they need “the balls & the ovaries”. #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10...
ACT steps up on holding institutions liable for abusers. Why not NSW?
Survivors watched on as the ACT took a historic step on Tuesday in passing a bill to overturn a High Court decision that allowed a church to avoid litigation over the actions of one of its priests.

These Brethren members stepped out of line. Then the threats and intimidation started
The Plymouth Brethren Christian Church is fiercely protective of a multi-billion-dollar business which supports the church. These men found out the extraordinary lengths it will take to keep it safe.
