Boris due to give evidence in December. Pretty hard hitting inquiry https://t.co/LNQtigIfba Explainer here from 🇬🇧 Pity Australian version will be a sham. With no RC or Parliament protection not appealing to speak up. Horror was global. Not gone away - nor has the obfuscation!

In 1981, Dr. Michael Shannon worked tirelessly through the night to successfully rescue a premature baby boy.

30 years later, in 2011, Dr. Shannon was trapped in his burning SUV following a collision with a semi-truck.

Miraculously, he was rescued from the blazing vehicle by Chris Trokey, a paramedic with the Orange County Fire Authority.

Remarkably, it was revealed that Chris Trokey was the same premature baby Dr. Shannon had delivered three decades earlier.

@brookmanknight The cold dead hand of bureaucracy never relinquishes its grip.

Wondering why it's hard to see a GP in Australia? Finally we have some numbers. From 2021-2022 we have 526 fewer GPs, 1100 fewer FTE GPs and over 4 million less consultations. Are we as a community happy with this? GP is becoming an endangered species

Payroll tax: Qld to rule direct GP payments exempt https://t.co/iMP4rjiDNC Victoria becomes the laggard state. We used to pride ourselves on innovation! Progress! Enlightened thinking 🤔! 
Waiting! @timpallas

Perhaps good willed Aussie public’s problem isn’t the model per se
Perhaps problem is that the entire MO of the No campaign has been to deliberately sow confusion
And unfortunately, they’ve done that well.

So here Noel Pearson spells it out…
“When you boil it down to its core it is an ADVISORY COMMITTEE. It CAN’T DIRECT THE PARLIAMENT…” It’s just there to ADVISE govt to better outcomes

[Patrick Dodson @SenatorDodson]

To the Australian people, young and old.

I have lived through many of these extraordinary moments in this country.

The Voice is now our moment.

Vote Yes.

Brilliant piece hits the (sad) spot. "The paradox of the pandemic has always been that the only way to “move on” is to actually engage with it."

Puts into perspective who is in control and motives. In this case it’s NOT the patient stupid!

Please support this petition..
One of two things will happen
1. More GP practices closing leading to higher wait times and pressure on out emergency services
2. A FURTHER $20 payment passed on to our patients who are struggling with cost of living. #thedevilsinthedetails

During the coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic, Australians became used to seeing Professor McLaws on their screens as she used data – not jargon – to inform us and combat disinformation.

In doing so, Professor McLaws helped save thousands of lives.
