NZ-based, self-described "spiritual medium" Jeanette Wilson has
started touring the country with her Psychic Surgery show. New
Zealand Skeptics are running a campaign to try to disrupt this by
contacting the venues and making them aware of the sort of thing
they're hosting. We talk to NZ Skeptics Chairperson, Craig
Shearer.
The NSW Health Care Complaints Commission has given a life ban to
naturopath Barbara O'Neill. The order permanently prohibits O'Neill
from "providing any health service, whether on a paid or voluntary
basis, to any person". The term "health service" includes "health
education services", which were a feature of the northern NSW Misty
Mountain Health Retreat founded by O'Neill and her husband Michael
in 2001. Breaking the terms of the prohibition order could incur a
six months prison sentence.
