1. On our research:

• 'Professor Robinson is internationally acknowledged for his research into mesothelioma, both in humans and in animal models. He is particularly recognized for asking novel questions and his ability to investigate these in the laboratory and translate them into clinical trials. He is an outstanding example of a Physician - Scientist. His publication record is extremely strong’.

• ‘This application for funding of a research program in Markers for Mesothelioma comes from a group internationally recognised for their continued work in the basic and clinical biology of this disease.  This is exemplified by the leading review articles on mesothelioma and its treatment from Robinson’s laboratory over the last 5 years’

  2. On the Fathering DVD, Books and Seminars

   

  DVD

  • Teachers and principals today need advocates in the community, particularly from among dads. This DVD is brilliant and represents a strategic way for schools to encourage dads to be more involved in their childrens’ education.
    Dr Peter Prout, Lecturer in Education, Edith Cowan University & former teacher/principal 

  • My father died when he was the age that I am now.  Nothing could more powerfully motivate me as a father.  This DVD is full of honest, real- life advice and practical encouragement to help you do your best at being a Dad.  I gladly recommend it.
    Kanishka Raffel, Pastor and Lawyer.

  • The positive and affirming messages of the Fathering Project will enrich the lives of everyone who engages with them.....and they are just as important for teachers and their families as they are for the parents of our students.
    Alison Woodman, President, Western Australian Secondary School Executives Association

  • I would like to encourage Principals to take and use these resources and provide opportunities for every father in their school to watch the DVD and to have access to the booklet. This is a great opportunity to make a difference in the lives of many of the families in their schools.
    Stephen Larkin YouthCARE Area Chaplain 

  • This DVD gives very simple and very important advice that is useful for all fathers. If they follow this advice it should make a big impact on the health and wellbeing of Australian children. It’s very well done. Excellent.
    Professor Peter le Souef, Professor of Paediatrics, Princess Margaret Hospital for Children.

  • It’s a fantastic video. It could have a very big impact.

  Books and seminars

  • 'Bruce, I hope your book helps a bit because I think fatherhood needs a bit of a kick along in this country. It really does.’
    John Howard. Prime Minister of Australia.

  • 'My husband has been reading the book ever since the seminar and he’s been transformed - and it is the same for the three friends that he took along from his work'. 
    DM.

  • 'That was the best talk I have ever been to. And I don’t mean the best talk on parenting. I mean the best talk of any sort. And I have been to dozens and dozens of conferences. His ability to engage with that audience of business people was remarkable“.
    LI, Doctor.

  • ‘Bruce did what he said he was going to do; provide a thought provoking, encouraging and enjoyable session exploring practical advice for busy fathers.  He is easy to listen to, not patronising or intimidatory.  A well judged evening”. 
    Peter Mumford. Health Management Consultant, London

  • ‘The feedback from the guys was great. They all went away with something and were all encouraged, not beaten up. Great stuff. Thanks again.
    Ray Orr. Shoreham, England.
