Specialist doctors have refused potentially life saving cancer treatment to a former police officer because they can’t guarantee it will work. David Roberts, 49, is willing to sign a waiver clearing medics at Sydney’s Royal Prince Alfred of any wrongdoing should he have an adverse reaction to the experimental medication. The father-of-three has been given just two weeks left to live after other treatments for his stage four non-Hodgkin lymphoma failed. Mr Roberts (pictured with his younger daughter just a year ago) said his condition deteriorated quickly in the time after this picture was taken. He said he will likely die whether or not he has the treatment, but wants doctors to give him one last chance at life. The former NSW detective (pictured during an interview in 2019) appealed for help to get permission to use the treatment, which normally costs $500,000. The CAR T-cell treatment, which costs $500,000, is currently being tested in clinical trials across the nation, but anyone ‘qualified to administer it isn’t prepared to do so’ in Mr Roberts’ case, The Australian reported. It requires removing T-blood cells from the body – which doctors have already done for Mr Roberts – before mutating them and reintegrating them back into the patient’s system. The mutated cells hopefully then fight the cancerous cells on their own. But doctors fear the treatment could actually cause him harm or make his condition worse, which would breach their ethical obligations. The well-respected former NSW detective and his family called upon politicians to help him secure the treatment when he first learned of his terminal diagnosis. Federal Health Minister Greg Hunt personally lobbied on Mr Roberts‘ behalf, as did NSW Police Minister David Elliott, who wrote to PM Scott Morrison asking for his support. ‘Like every officer who dedicates and often risks his or her life to keep the community safe, the State owes him a debt we can never repay,’ Mr Elliott said. NSW Health Minister Brad Hazzard agreed the government would help cover the cost of the therapy. Mr Roberts’ colleagues described him as a great, case-hardened detective who put people’s lives first in histwo-decade career. He worked his way up from a local cop at the Burwood Local Area Command to the Middle Eastern Organised Crime Squad and was decorated for his arrests and work ethic. His daughter Reanna wrote a letter to politicians after his terminal diagnosis, reminding them that her father ‘has been an outstanding civil servant and showcased strength and courage like no other person. ‘This is our last opportunity to save our dad’s life,’ she wrote. The news that he will not be granted access to the treatment has shocked Mr Roberts, his family and everyone in his corner who had been lobbying tirelessly. ‘Inaction will mean certain death,’ Mr Roberts said. ‘They’ve already got my T cells harvested and ready to go. Instead of giving me a chance, why would they let me… die when there is another option?’ Mr Roberts cannot travel overseas to find a doctor willing to administer the treatment because he is quickly deteriorating. But the Sydney Local Health District is standing by its decision. A spokeswoman said: ‘We must ensure experimental treatments are safe and appropriate for the patients involved. The decision not to proceed with treatment has been made by a panel of national experts in this field.’ Doctors refuse life saving cancer treatment for former cop because it is too risky | Daily Mail Online First interview: Policeman who shot Constable Bill Crews talks about the pain of the dark day that claimed his mate’s life Yoni Bashan News Limited Network August 11, 2013 12:00AM THE incident lasted just 2.8 seconds – from the time police shouted “search warrant” to the last of five bullets being fired. For three years Detective Senior Constable Dave Roberts, 42, has been struggling to understand how a routine warrant ended with his mate killed from a bullet he fired.”For a long time I couldn’t think clearly about the matter,” Roberts said. In 2010, his team from the Middle Eastern Organised Crime Squad were in the carpark of a Bankstown unit block to search drug supplier Philip Nguyen, 55. It was considered so low-risk that detectives walked into the garage without guns drawn. Constable Crews, 26, had just joined the squad as a highly recommended recruit. He was carrying a folder under his arm. Extensive intelligence checks would tell police Nguyen was not armed. Then they spotted him. Roberts remembers an incredibly cramped space, Nguyen walking quickly out of his garage, the muzzle of his gun flashing as it fired, and Crews promptly returning fire three times. “I’ve dropped what I was holding, drew my gun and fired once,” he said. “All that took less than three seconds.” His words slow as he recalls regrouping with his colleagues behind a brick wall when the shooting stopped.

  • Chapter Four How the West Was Won: Retail Development in Sydney’S Western Suburbs
    Chapter Four How the West was Won: Retail Development in Sydney’s Western Suburbs This chapter examines shopping centre development in the outer west of Sydney during the 1970s – the decade when ‘Western Sydney’ became a ‘distinct region [of the city] with a definite identity’, and when Australia, along with much of the Western world, entered a new era of economic and social change.1 The long boom came to an uncomfortable end as the economy suffocated under steep increases in oil prices; consumer spending dropped; several major property companies collapsed; inflation went through the roof and unemployment rose; retailers warned of union-driven wage increases; and real discretionary income declined.2 Despite these difficulties, shopping centre development and expansion planned during the 1960s boom continued fairly steadily, although a slow down in the latter half of the decade can be seen as a direct result of the economic problems of the first. Some of the major shopping centres in the Western suburbs which were developed in the 1970s were: Penrith Plaza (1971), Westfield Liverpool Shoppingtown (1972), Westpoint Blacktown (1973), Westfield Shoppingtown Parramatta (1975), and Macarthur Square, Campbelltown (1979). From the Sixties onwards, the west was the city’s major area of industrial and demographic growth, and a key area in the expansion programs of major retailers.3 This chapter will focus on four shopping centres which followed and helped stimulate this growth in Liverpool, Blacktown, Parramatta and Campbelltown. Liverpool and Blacktown illustrate the importance of big retail development to local government and communities in the outer west. Parramatta is important as the major city in the western suburbs, because it has traditionally been the strongest retail area outside of central 1 Lesley Johnson, ‘Western Sydney and the Desire For Home’, Australian Journal of Social Issues, vol.
