PO Box 292, Deakin West ACT 2600 www.stjohn.org.au MEDICAL ADVISORY PANEL Bulletin May 2018 NOTE: This Bulletin has been revised (29 May 2018) to correct the protocol for epistaxis. Please see below for the revised protocol. Members with any queries about the following changes to the guidelines should consult their Training or EHS Manager for assistance. Use of ice when treating epistaxis (nose bleed) In response to correspondence received regarding the recent FAQ about nosebleed, MAP agreed that: • emphasis should be placed on the patient moving their head slightly forward and pinching the soft part of the nostrils, as the current protocol states. • as there is no conclusive evidence on the value of a cold pack on forehead or neck, first aiders should be advised that this may or may not work and that it is unlikely to cause harm.

AED clarification MAP received correspondence regarding the use of an AED after an incident where an AED had been placed on a conscious patient and given incorrect advice. MAP confirmed that an AED should only be placed on a patient if they are unresponsive and not breathing normally. MAP stressed it was important to leave an AED on a patient if the patient has recovered after a sudden cardiac arrest. This is stated in the current protocol on applying an automated external defibrillator (see Emergency first aid, October 2017, pp 15–17). Checking the airway It was noted that the St John protocol for checking the airway (‘A’ in DRSABCD) advises the first aider to place the person in the recovery position if needing to clear a blockage. However, the ARC Guideline 4 on airway makes no reference to the ‘recovery position’; rather it advises to roll the person onto their side to clear the airway. MAP agreed to change the St John protocol to reflect the language used by the ARC. This change will be reflected in all online and print resources.

Bailiff Michel Bohé OSJ, CMSJ Noteworthy memories of the past have, on the 8th of March 2014, made my visit to Malta a pleasurable and yet sentimental visit purposely made to celebrate, with the members of the Malta Priory, the 50th anniversary of the inauguration of ‘The Malta Priory’. Throughout these past fifty years, the Malta Priory has under- gone great changes - some good but others painful to the extent that schisms started to take place right after the death of King Peter. The main and most important change was when The Malta Priory was elevated, in February 22, 1970, to a Grand Priory to be known as the Russian Grand Priory of Malta. and to become the mother and the base of the Order as it stands today. From the many schisms that had occurred, a fortunate and positive move took place in April 2006 when, by the signing of a Concordat, a number of Priories joined the Russian Grand Priory of Malta to return back within their home base and International Headquarters in Malta.

    RUSSIAN TRADITION of the KNIGHTS of MALTA OSJ The

    RUSSIAN TRADITION OF THE KNIGHTS OF MALTA OSJ The Russian tradition of the Knights Hospitaller is a collection of charitable organisations claiming continuity with the Russian Orthodox grand priory of the Order of Saint John. Their distinction emerged when the Mediterranean stronghold of Malta was captured by Napoleon in 1798 when he made his expedition to Egypt. As a ruse, Napoleon asked for safe harbor to resupply his ships, and then turned against his hosts once safely inside Valletta. Grand Master Ferdinand von Hompesch failed to anticipate or prepare for this threat, provided no effective leadership, and readily capitulated to Napoleon. This was a terrible affront to most of the Knights desiring to defend their stronghold and sovereignty. The Order continued to exist in a diminished form and negotiated with European governments for a return to power. The Emperor of Russia gave the largest number of Knights shelter in St Petersburg and this gave rise to the Russian tradition of the Knights Hospitaller and recognition within the Russian Imperial Orders. In gratitude the Knights declared Ferdinand von Hompesch deposed and Emperor Paul I was elected as the new Grand Master. Origin Blessed Gerard created the Order of St John of Jerusalem as a distinctive Order from the previous Benedictine establishment of Hospitallers (Госпитальеры). It provided medical care and protection for pilgrims visiting Jerusalem. After the success of the First Crusade, it became an independent monastic order, and then as circumstances demanded grafted on a military identity, to become an Order of knighthood. The Grand Priory of the Order moved to Rhodes in 1312, where it ruled as a sovereign power, then to Malta in 1530 as a sovereign/vassal power.

We welcomed members and guests of the Order from Austria, Canada, Denmark, England, Finland, France, Germany, Monaco, Nicaragua, Norway, Scotland and the United States of America. SOVEREIGN COUNCIL AND OTHER MEETINGS The Sovereign Council held its biennial meeting on September 22 and 23.

The details of this licence are available on the Creative Commons website: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/au/. Foreword On 19 September 2018, the Treasurer, the Hon Josh Frydenberg, MP, referred to the committee an inquiry into the removal of refundable franking credits. The Treasurer asked the committee to inquire into and report on the implications of removing refundable franking credits and, in particular, the stress and complexity it will cause for Australians, including older Australians who will be impacted in their retirement. The public response to the inquiry has been extraordinary. The committee held a series of 19 public hearings across the country to allow Australians to have their say in light of a policy proposed to be introduced on 1 July 2019. These hearings were very well attended – often exceeding 300 people. A total of 1777 submissions were published and many more documents were received that could not be published by the time the committee reported. While the participation in the inquiry was high, worryingly the evidence suggests that many people at risk of being impacted from a policy change are unaware of the proposal that could result in them losing a third of their income.
