In February 2011 a group of skeptics in Melbourne took part in the global 10:23 campaign.
Participants in the campaign each take a massive overdose of homeopathic pills, to prove that homeopathy contains no active ingredients and is nothing more than a placebo treatment.
The following video was shot and edited by Doug Hubbard.
Also, while the official video was being produced we caught some behind-the footage and conversations with the participants.
Speaker: Dr Russell Blackford
Dr Russell Blackford is an Australian writer, philosopher, and literary critic based in Newcastle.
He is the author of many books including:
Russell will be talking to us about his most recent book, “How We Became Post-Liberal The Rise and Fall of Toleration”.
While Russell’s talk will be over Zoom and Facebook live, there will be an in person dinner and meeting at the Stolberg Hotel in Preston and copies of the book will be available for $37.50.
LOCATION: Function Room at The Stolberg Hotel, 197 Plenty Road Preston. The 86 tram route is close, and Bell train station – situated on the Epping line – is a short walk away. It will also be a virtual event accessible via Zoom, as per the details above.
