An Australian university student who unknowingly ingested rat poison in Taiwan has spoken from his Brisbane hospital bed, where his family says he is making "good progress" in his recovery.
Alex Shorey, 24, was flown to Brisbane on Wednesday, where specialists confirmed he had "very high levels of toxins" in his body.
In a video shot by his family inside the Princess Alexandra Hospital, the exchange student thanked everybody who had helped him return to Australia for treatment.
