IRONIC TWIST There s been an ironic twist in the landmark case of a whistleblowing career nurse in Brisbane who triggered a legal storm last year after she dared speak up about training flaws impacting student nurses. Margaret Gilbert has assumed the role of acting president of her union, the Nurses Professional Association of Queensland, which spearheaded the defence in her ongoing case. Fittingly, she expects to drop the acting bit and take on the presidency full-time in March, coinciding with the expected release of a ruling in her matter. Gilbert, who has had an exemplary career spanning more than 40 years, was hit with a show cause notice in early 2020 claiming she may have breached media guidelines after she highlighted falling standards in bachelor nursing degrees and a decline in practical skills.

The Year Video Didn t Kill the (Radio Star) Live Event
UK – The absence this year of the always enjoyable live event which is the annual British International Freight Association (BIFA) Awards was surely missed by many, but the organisation was determined to press ahead in a year when the winners managed to triumph over a hitherto unknown level of adversity.
This logistics business has proved itself to be just about immune to everything, including a pandemic the like of which has not been seen before. The resilience showed through when, despite a year beset by multiple operational difficulties and uncertainties, there were many outstanding entries in the BIFA Freight Service Awards 2020, the very best of which were announced in a series of online video presentations this week.
TT Club calls for increase in safety awareness
International freight transport and logistics insurer TT Club wants cargo owners to be more aware of safety issues arising from poorly packed containers and misdeclared goods. Urging them to make good practice in the supply chain part of their ESG (environmental, social and governance) policies.
London, 6th January 2021
TT Club’s analyses consistently indicate that two thirds of incidents related to cargo damage are caused or exacerbated by poor practices at the time of packing goods into a freight container. Such supply chain malpractice results in multi-million dollar losses, including tragic containership fires with loss of seafarers lives and significant delays. Extrapolating known figures, all such incidents are estimated to result in economic losses exceeding USD6 billion per year.
