John Ruddick is a frequent contributor to the Spectator Australia often writing about politics and history. He grew up in Tamworth and then studied history at the University of Sydney.
In 2018 he wrote Make the Liberal Party Great Again which outlined the ideal democratic structure of a major political party in the 21st century.
In 2021 he joined the Liberal Democrats after abandoning hope in the Liberal Party due to the enforcement of the COVID police state, the trillion dollar Commonwealth debt and the capitulation towards a net-zero carbon economy.
He was the 2022 NSW senate candidate for the Liberal Democrats and in 2023 was the candidate for the NSW Legislative Council.
Dr Paul Oosterhius
Dr. Paul Oosterhuis is an Australian anaesthetist with over thirty years experience, including in critical care and resuscitation. He has been brought before the Medical Board of NSW for posting information on social media regarding COVID-19.
His posts related to early treatment and prophylaxis, PCR tests, and risk-benefit calculations regarding COVID-19 vaccination and lockdowns (scroll down for details).
Dr Oosterhuis attended a Medical Board hearing on 3rd September 2021, at which the Board suspended his registration. At his hearing, Dr Oosterhuis presented extensive evidence on the accuracy and defensibility of his social media posts, including their public interest value.
The Medical Council of NSW dropped the complaints and suspension in May 2022 after Dr Oosterhius took legal action in the NSW Supreme Court.
