‘This case is really about us all being able to connect with social media on our own terms, & without having to essentially accept that we should be subjected to hugely invasive tracking surveillance profiling just to be able to access social media.’

She says the UK must highlight how self-regulation does not work & build a broad-based coalition beyond public health

Really concerning (but fascinating) presentation by ⁦@KBackholer⁩ outlining the influence of Big Tech in our lives and on our health #Prevention2022

[Maddie Heenan @MadeleineDay_]

.@K_Cullerton presenting on support for SSB tax and how message framing can increase or decrease support. Some similar results but these differences were higher for regional voters! Frames that resonated were supporting business to change. Frames that did not were anti-industry.

[Maddie Heenan @MadeleineDay_]

There are no binding agreements for managing food industry interference. We need to properly define industry actors so we can identify where there are conflicts of interest & when engagement may or may not be necessary - great to hear from public health lawyer @AndreaL58220526

[Katherine Cullerton (moving to BlueSky) @K_Cullerton]

Equity a strong theme across all the presentations in the ‘macro policy’ session at the ⁦@_PHAA_⁩ #prevention2022 conference

[Maddie Heenan @MadeleineDay_]

Great presentation from @laurabarnes567 yesterday on the equity framework under development at @hw_queensland

[Health and Wellbeing Queensland @hw_queensland]

We are working across sectors, across communities to change the odds for Queenslanders.

Hear from @laurabarnes567 today about the approach taken by @hw_queensland to understand and address systemic inequities across areas such as health. #Prevention2022 @_PHAA_ @IssrUq
