Mr Parker's orthopaedic surgeon, Nicola Ward, told reporters today his efforts to escape the bush with such significant injuries is "an incredible story". He has since been taken to Brisbane's Princess Alexandra Hospital, where he is expected to have multiple surgeries on his limbs. He also said he is thankful that he did not suffer a head or spinal injury in the fall and that he had learned good survival skills through his time in the bushwalking community.

Berejiklian’s ‘survival’ will hinge on cleaning up ‘massive error of process’ | Sky News AustraliaNSW One Nation Leader Mark Latham says if Gladys Berejiklian wants to survive at the helm of the state government, she’ll need to acknowledge the “massive error of process” surrounding the abortion decriminalisation bill and “pledge to never do it again”.\n\n“These things only get through the parliament if the government, and the government alone, sets aside speaking time,” Mr Latham told Sky News on Tuesday.\n\n“The government is complicit in the way in which this has been handled; if fact, they’re the only ones who’ve ultimately been responsible for rushing it, ' he said. \n\nMr Latham’s remarks come after three rebellious state Liberal MPs announced on Monday night they would move a spill motion against their premier over the handling of the abortion legislation, but they promptly called their coup, scheduled to take place Tuesday morning, off.\n\nHe said the premier needs to clean up her act in terms of “decent” parliamentary process.\n\n“The truth of the bill is once you take abortion out of the crimes act and put it into the health act, you’ve got to codify it, under the law of NSW, all these complex, detailed practices.”\n\n“You can’t do that in the space of a fortnight.\n\n“The people behind this were really putting up something that was from another planet — it was never going to fly.”\n\nImage: News Corp Australia capitulate to the conservative minority because they shout the loudest.... An Arsehat dictating to an Arsehat, that Arsehats are dictating for other Arsehats who are trying to dictate about a law that dictates against people’s rights ....... 🤷🏻‍♂️ 🤦🏻‍♂️ Arsehats auspol💩 An eight year sinecure and barely 6% of the vote- I wouldn’t expect GladysB to take much notice of him!!

Liberal Party denies internal 'crisis' as spill motion against Premier called offAn attempt to spill the leadership of NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian is called off did one of the coup organisers learn to count? Good. We didn't need hard right conservatives taking over because they didn't think their leader was far enough right. Cowards.
