## Resource

Healthcare workers are embarking on a world first project to help people reduce their reliance on prescription drugs like sleeping pills and opioids amid growing evidence of dangerous side-effects. The project called SUPPORT-Meds is lead by Associate Professor Emily Reeve, at the Centre for Medicine Use and Safety at the Monash Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences. As the Christian Brothers cry poor and appeal to the court for a stay on compensation payments to victims of historical child sexual abuse, attention is turning to the properties they transferred to Edmund Rice Education Australia for as a little as one dollar. 80 years ago today the USA detonated an atomic bomb over Bikini Atoll in the Marshall Islands, the beginnings of a devastating nuclear testing program in the pacific. Dave Sweeney, co-founder of the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons Nobel peace prize winner and Samuel Barton, President of the Marshall Islands Student Association at the University of the South Pacific in Fiji are using the anniversary to appeal to the Government to finally ratify the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons.
