I don’t look at these photos and think, well there’s a young man who needs to trial more conventional therapies because just maybe...the 17th or 18th drug might work without harming him.

Michael Ferguson must have known it was never about the patients.
9 years ago.

@PhillipBiggInd @virtualmusing @TasmanianLabor @Cangelosi_F Shame there is a list as long as your arm the parliamentarians/candidates promising reform who then do nothing..

[Lyn Cleaver @Lyn_Cleaver]

Reform is desperately needed, @TasmanianLabor should urgently bring this on! #homegrow
#politas

[kurt @virtualmusing]

unlike some others moved this week, this motion doesn’t needlessly defer a call for action to the time in which @tasmanianlabor forms government

the Opposition can, and should, progress this through Parliament at the first available opportunity #politas

[Lyn Cleaver @Lyn_Cleaver]

Better still ask the man who fixed "it" @fergusonmichael or the current Health Minister who would be expected to keep up with access to medicine. #politas

[Lyn Cleaver @Lyn_Cleaver]

There is a Tasmanian government access scheme in place now.
Ask me how I know it is failing patients.

[Lyn Cleaver @Lyn_Cleaver]

A decade ago we hosted a forum in Launceston.
What has changed since then?
Access/affordability for patients remains an issue.
There is still a significant number of patients who don't even realise it is legal now.
Patients who are happy to self provide are not supported.

@anthony_dodd1 @7tasnews Schedule 8 cannabis medicines also need State approval. Unless that has changed and they haven't updated the info on the DoH website.

[Lyn Cleaver @Lyn_Cleaver]

Many patients and carers have concerns that further interference from the TGA will restrict genuine patient access.

[Anthony Dodd @anthony_dodd1]

She says the TGA is reviewing unregistered medicinal cannabis and that it’s an evolving space and that the gov is committed to working through this space @7tasnews #politas

[Lyn Cleaver @Lyn_Cleaver]

I don't know how to put into words..
A family member who has long used cannabis medicinally now has a legal prescription.
I am so happy for them.
It has been a battle for Tasmanians to be sure, but finally patients are getting what they deserve 💚

[Lyn Cleaver @Lyn_Cleaver]

A face I'd rather forget.
A health minister who denied Tasmanians access to medicine.
A man who put his warped, outdated morals above the health and well being of very unwell people.
I never thought he would be so fiercely opposed to saying yes, I'll help.

Congratulations @Lyn_Cleaver and @ellen_rosella for correctly guessing tomorrow's @PollPositionPod special guest.

Less so Mr @grok who falsely claimed it was Jeremy Rockliff.

Should be a great chat, so much to talk about. #politas @swegen31

[Lyn Cleaver @Lyn_Cleaver]

Well if it is Ferguson most of us would prefer to skip that one...

[Brad Stansfield @bj_stansfield]

This should be easy imo #politas

[Lyn Cleaver @Lyn_Cleaver]

Senators in Tassie at the moment with hemp inquiry I hope they also take the time to read through patient/carer submissions to the TGA consultation for medicinal cannabis #politas

[Lyn Cleaver @Lyn_Cleaver]

@TDevil2028 I don't disagree with you. I just don't think it is up to ordinary Tasmanians to foot his bill.

[Lyn Cleaver @Lyn_Cleaver]

If Mr Stewart wants it let him pay for it.

[Jeremy Rockliff @jeremyrockliff]

I have some big news!

Today, we’re locking in a new 1,000-person Convention Centre for Launceston.

For some time now, this city has been crying out for a development like this.

So we’re stepping up, and partnering with Tasmanian stalwart Errol Stewart to get it built.

The new Convention Centre is going to double the number of business events Launceston can hold each year, unlocking $30m in extra economic activity to the region annually.

The equivalent of 4 Foo Fighters concerts each and every year.

Our $10m investment will ensure the $35m project will go ahead at Kings Wharf, with the plans for a new hotel next door well underway.

This is going to mean jobs, opportunity and wealth for Northern Tasmanians.

Not just in construction, but over decades to come.

And that’s what it’s all about.

@marijuanacomau This ⬆️ is as infuriating as it is heart breaking.

[Lyn Cleaver @Lyn_Cleaver]

There's so many side effects that parents finding cannabis for their kids is often the very FIRST time they can medicate their kids without the very real risks associated with AEDs.
Problem is Drs and legislators are not listening.

[Lyn Cleaver @Lyn_Cleaver]

I can tell you. It's a long list. It's drugs that aren't tested in children. It's drugs that can be fatal with conditions such a SJS, respiratory arrest, psychosis, suicidal ideation. Drugs causing PCOS, aggression, depression, weight changes, bone density issues, insomnia..

[Marijuana @marijuanacomau]

This submission from a parent of child with epilepsy is making me wonder what got redacted..

[Lyn Cleaver @Lyn_Cleaver]

No surprises here, they are not listening to patients.

How much per ticket?
We just spent over $700.00 for medicine.
That will last just a little over a month.
Little left for such luxury spending on a disability pension.
