5.  Julie Bishop slams former MP Wyatt Roy who travelled to Iraq.

Foreign Minister Julie Bishop has issued a scathing rebuke of former Liberal MP Wyatt Roy after he travelled to an eastern region of Iraq.

She branded the trip “irresponsible”, “very high risk” and said he could have been captured by hostile forces while there.

On Thursday, Mr Roy told SBS he travelled last week to a region west of Mosul in northern Iraq, a stronghold of Islamic State.

He said he witnessed a firefight.

“The danger of a 50-cal bullet, or if they had bigger RPGs [rocket-propelled grenades], or a mortar round hitting us was pretty serious,” Mr Roy told SBS.

He said he went to see for himself what was going on.

Official government advice for Australians is “do not travel” to Iraq,” Ms Bishop said in a statement on Thursday night.

“It is irresponsible of Wyatt Roy to travel to the front line of the conflict between ISIL and Kurdish forces in Northern Iraq, a region regarded as very high risk.”

7.   Experimental peanut treatment allowing kids to eat peanuts freely.

A world first experimental treatment for peanut allergies has had remarkable results with children able to freely eat peanuts five years after they started the treatment.

Murdoch Children’s Research Institute designed the therapy that combines a gradual introduction of peanuts with probiotics to reprogram the immune system.

Lead researcher Professor Mimi Tang said the first test of 62 children aged between one and 10 with peanut allergies, found that 82 per cent of those who received the peanut-probiotic therapy could tolerate the equivalent of up to 16 peanuts after 18 months of treatment, compared with 4 per cent of those receiving a placebo reports The Herald Sun.

“About 80 per cent of these kids continued to incorporate peanuts freely in their diet, at any amount they wished, five years after they’d stopped treatment,” Prof Tang said.

“Half those children are still eating substantial amounts, at least 8-10 peanuts a week. It’s incredible. For the families still eating peanuts, I’m told it’s been life-changing. They can go on holidays and to restaurants for the first time.”
