During debulking surgery in 2002, bacteria entered his brain and caused an infection in his skull that was discovered only a year later. Within 18 months, he started to decline in terms of mobility, continence and his ability to speak coherently. In three different years (2004, 2006 and 2007) he was given a prognosis of six months or less (meaning, expected to die within six months). He was assessed as clinically dying in 2004, and at the end of life in 2006, 2007 and 2011. Glenn died in 2011.
Had the End of Life Choice Act been operating as law at the time, Glenn would have been eligible for a lethal dose in the years 2004, 2006, 2007, and 2011, when he was given a prognosis of six months or less to live.
Heather and Rachel are a mother-and-daughter team who have shared a bittersweet experience over the last few years. Having to watch a beloved husband and an adored father live with a terminal illness until he died at the age of 42 has not been easy for either of them. Despite this, they hang onto every precious memory from that tumultuous time...

Good news – 2021 is set to be the year of the long weekend.
Five out of 10 public holidays will be Mondayised (or Tuesdayised in one case) next year, which means if you work a standard Monday to Friday week, you can look forward to some extended breaks.
In fact, once you’ve tacked on the weekends, you’ll end up getting a whopping 25 days off out of those 10 stat days, plus your region’s anniversary day.

The display features Ted Egan's fully working model of the Historic Kōpū Bridge swing span, along with photos, newspaper excerpts and a representation of the Hauraki Plains farmland which emphasises the role the bridge played in connecting Thames to the Plains and beyond. Another feature is the menu from the banquet that celebrated the bridge's opening on 11th May 1928. There is one surprising dish that we might not be so keen on today. I would love to hear from anyone who has ever eaten it.
Thames Museum, Corner Pollen and Cochrane Streets is open Friday to Wednesday, 10am to 3pm. Admission adult $5, child $2, family of 2 adults and school age children $10.
