A MUST LISTEN for those interested in the human experience for people who receive Robodebt notices in Australia https://t.co/OqW0OTP7Mu From the courageous Claire!
Cheryl. I worked in public health for 25 years. Reached Director level. At the time of the Howard gov I was told I was not a servant of the public, I was a servant of the health minister. I argued that point until I left.
It's a sad day when civil servants routinely lie to cover the arses of incumbent government. Another layer of protection of public's interests gone. https://t.co/70wiVc8rvn via @theage
@AnthonyCichello@astir0412@CherieDorotich@DiPw122 @StuartEdser @PaulBongiorno @copland_aila @JulietOcean1 Simple solution for you: if you want a prescription pad adorning your ivory tower: retrain as a Doctor of Medicine: majority of Psychologist do not support your agenda!
@DeborahJEgan@DrHWoo Absolutely. I'm finding it difficult to understand why an objectively well informed individual would wish to centre criticism of a public health policy issue on a front line surgeon. Wrong level of abstraction. Great exposure of his bias and poor insight.
@drruthmitchell@DrHWoo What is the alternative for these very unwell patients if the public system can't or won't provide the care? Public health policy change?
@DrHWoo Should Dr Teo leave patients dead? Are you arguing that he shouldn't emotionally connect to patients if money is involved? Are you arguing public health policy is inadequate? What's your point? @ABCthedrum Might be worth discussing #insight#thedrum
Mental health and well-being are important to every portfolio https://t.co/papNt9v8jh All of our public policies involving people need to be made with people in mind.
The disease model of mental health is the result of a political system and public service bereft of ethics and research knowledge, dependent on lobby groups for their information. Who does Govt serve if not the community? #onerebate#singleclinician#auspol#bias
(suicide trigger warning) Just received from concerned mums and dads who have lost young family members to suicide https://t.co/GTCzpbUnDd Australia needs a mental health care system which is flexible, integrated, inclusive of all age-groups, and lasts long enough to help!
Profits at the heart of mental health decisions in Aust-is this the real issue? And why some psychiatrists have apparently run hate campaigns against non-drug prescribing psychologists going back to 2005? @GregHuntMP @JulieCollinsMP@Dana_Adele https://t.co/ivJb4oB2ug
@GregHunt #ausvotes2019 There is a lot of money being spent on mental health. Is it being spent wisely? The medical model isn't supported by research evidence. It simply isn't. Fiscal and social responsibility is a KPI for any Govt. #trauma#60bnburden https://t.co/vB82Y9Uj3P
@PaulBongiorno@janeenorman Only SloMo could find a way to insult woman on International Woman’s Day, advocating they can only succeed if it doesn’t interfere with men’s expectations. Woman are not subservient to men, we are equal, we deserve respect and dignity in our own right.
if at first you don't succeed, and then you try again and you don't succeed, try again a third time using the same research from BAEconomics and maybe this time it will work
It is critical to doubt drug claims. Truth doesn't drive the #drug industry - only money and markets drive the #drug industry. Science does not produce truth, but theory. It exists to be questioned. Academia is no longer impartial. #freescience#backtobasics@JulieCollinsMP
"When drug industry-sponsored trials cannot be examined and questioned by independent researchers, science ceases to exist and becomes nothing more than marketing."
