Cassandra Goldie is a sensible voice. If true the Business Council of Australia is agreeing to a minimum wage rise as well, this sounds like a goer! #raisetherate #cowpervotes #ruralhealthconf

[Jo McCubbin @JoannanotH]

Invest in prevention and fixing the worst gaps in services. Affordable dental and end of health insurance rebate! @ACOSS #RuralHealthConf #Auspol

[Karen Paxton @KarenPaxton1]

Spontaneous applause for @RichardDiNatale strong opening focus on #SDOH at #ruralhealthconf. He calls for radical change in the way politics is practised to address the power of vested interests. "We don’t have a tax system at the moment we have got a tax avoidance system."

Indigenous Australians are 122 times more likely to develop rheumatic heart disease than non-Indigenous ppl & it’s 100% preventable. RHD is the disease that provides the clearest marker of social disadvantage. Dr Bo Remenyi #ruralhealthconf @BoRemenyi @RHDAustralia
