A gentle word of warning to all who may be a little bit vulnerable to an offer “too good to be true”, like when Raph receives an invite to befriend a person because she’s “so interesting and beautiful” or when she receives “notice of a $1200 transfer” to her bank account (as long as she confirms her deposit details) 😞
Always good to double check before clicking ANY links. 🙂

Dearest Gentle Reader,

It has come to this author’s attention a most unsavoury set of characters is making the rounds. A scammer armed with flattering words, suspicious links and promises far too dazzling to be true.

Guard your purse strings and your personal details with the utmost care. Any message urging haste, secrecy or exclusive opportunity is likely not a suitor of fortune, but a rogue of the highest order. A true gentleman or lady would never demand your details in such a vulgar fashion.

Be vigilant. Verify before you trust. And remember, if an offer sounds as scandalous as a midnight rendezvous in the garden (IYKYK), it is best declined.

Yours in watchful concern,
A friend to society

Contributions from men, social and community support workers and health practitioners is strongly encouraged.

An open invitation for people with lived experience of mental health issues and supports to have their say on SA’s future Mental Health & Wellbeing legislation. Details are below and the survey closes on Friday 13 February.

We need your voice!

Tomorrow’s consultation is a chance to influence something that will shape people’s rights, care, and treatment in SA for years.

The Mental Health and Wellbeing Bill 2025 is moving through the next stages, and this is the point where real community detail matters. Not abstract “feedback”, but the stuff that only people who’ve lived it can name: what helps, what harms, what gets missed, what needs stronger safeguards.

LELAN is pulling together a submission and they’re inviting people with lived experience to contribute, so the law isn’t shaped only by policy people and paperwork. If you’ve ever supported someone through the system, been on an order, tried to get help in crisis, or had your rights feel blurry in the moment, you already know why this matters.

🗓 Online consultation: [HAVE YOUR SAY] Online consultation on South Australia's Draft Mental Health and Wellbeing Bill 2025 https://humanitix.pulse.ly/wnpscou4ut
📍 Wednesday 28 January 2026
⏰ 1:30pm

If you’d rather make your own submission, you can also do that via YourSAy.https://sa.pulse.ly/nyi6rv3p6m

This is one of those rare moments where lived experience can get baked into the actual rules of the system, not just added as a nice quote at the end. If you can spare the time, I’d really encourage you to get involved.
