Dear supporters, apologies it’s been a while since my last update. I’ve been working hard with Tim Watts and his staff to compile a speech that he could before the federal parliament.

Yesterday that speech was delivered. I have attached a link below for your viewing. I’m very touched that Tim went so far to make the address public and I can assure you that this is the first step in the battle to have chronic pain recognised as a disability, to push the government for further funding, research and legislative changes in this critical area.

This petition is still meandering near 300 signatures, and we still need more. Please share far and wide so that everyone can hear the speech and what we are asking of the government.

In solitude,

Ben Harrison Atkinson
