By Associate Professor Cassie Hayward Published on June 10, 2022 In 1989, Victoria’s Transport Accident Commission (TAC) launched its first ad. It was shot in a gritty documentary style as we followed the story of a young male drink driver who caused horrific injuries to his girlfriend. It is graphic, it is raw, it is heart-wrenching – we see the injuries of the girlfriend, we hear the doctor tell the girlfriend’s parents that she might lose her leg, we see the rage of the parents as they see the boyfriend, and we hear those now iconic words for the first time: “If you drink then drive, you’re a bloody idiot”.

By Professor Michael Kearney Published on June 3, 2022 Most species on Earth have two sexes – male and female – that combine and mix their genes when they reproduce. We are so accustomed to this state of affairs that the existence of an all-female species that doesn’t have sex, but instead reproduce by cloning, comes as quite a shock. In our research just published in Science, our detailed study of a unique Australian animal finds that the traditional explanation for this state of affairs is likely wrong.
