OK, so judging by the name, these people are a network dedicated to vaccinating. WRONG! It's just one of the underhanded tricks they use to fool parents into NOT vaccinating children or anyone else. These people have dubbed me
"A Mouseketeer of Evil".

Sunrise TV11.April .2006
Once again I was a guest on the top rating ch. 7 'Sunrise' program, this time taking part in a talk about 'Psychic Detectives'.
I was by my father’s bedside as he died, quite peacefully on the 8th of April 2006. Dad loved life and loved his family. I cannot bring myself to pity him as he, due largely to mum, had a wonderful life. The pity I feel is for the family and friends he leaves behind who will always miss him.
I have put a small video of Dad online, it shows you a little of how much he loved us, especially his grandkids.
I have been busy running from TV studio to TV studio both in Melbourne and Sydney. You can see my effort on Ch. 7 Sunrise Show here.
Temptation
Thanks to all of you who saw me on Temptation. I decided to leave at the end of the fourth night, winning a very nice trip to Europe.

The Great Skeptic CD2
This CD is truly a goldmine, a comprehensive reference tool for educators, students, researchers, and journalists, an extensive resource on all subject matter worthy of the skeptical eye, and a fabulously entertaining and enjoyable production to pass the time with.

All in all, both fun and interesting. A valuable addition to any skeptic’s library.

The only problem I can see is a positive thing - it will take a huge amount of time to read all the articles from down under. Do I need to mention this? The CD is formidable!

The Mischief-Making
of Ideomotor Action
Ever wondered why water diviners really think they have special powers?
A highlight of the 2004 Australian Skeptics Convention was the successful failure of a Homeopathic Mass Suicide.
Before the convention, we marched into a Sydney Pharmacy, yes, a pharmacy, and bought almost $100 worth of worthless sleeping pills. Then, as you can see in the photo, Prof. Colin Keay, Dr. David Brookman, Richard Saunders, Barry Williams, Dr. Phil Plait, Peter Bowditch and Dr. Steve Roberts (not pictured) took the lot. We ate enough sleeping pills each that we should now all be dead.
The point, apart from showing once again that this stuff is rubbish, was to also remind the audience that some parents actually try to vaccinate their babies with "Homeopathic Vaccines". This could indeed have deadly consequences.

your own title deed to a homeopathic bridge!
