In 2014, The International Aids Council commissioned me for 5 days to cover the World AIDS conference in Melbourne. Speakers included Michael Kirby, Richard Branson and Bill Clinton amongst numerous top scientists and global experts in the medical field. The event was overshadowed by the downing of flight MH17, among the passengers were delegates en route to the 20th International AIDS Conference in Melbourne, including Joep Lange, a former president of the International AIDS Society, which organized the conference. Images from the public gathering at Federation Square mourning the loss of victims of MH17 were captured on an iPhone due to logistical issues and transmitted around the world.
