@RestIsPolitics @RoryStewartUK @campbellclaret You often talk about "populist politics" when referring to right wing politicians. I put it to you however - is not "populist politics" just a label both sides apply to each other when they don't like the opposing side's position?

@timsenior We do need to remember this. Yes, there is plenty to do - but we are world leading in health care systems. Yet, we continually look to countries with poorer health systems than ours for solutions.

Great to see our CEO @Tom_Symondson meeting today with Shadow Minister for Health and Aged Care, Senator the Hon @Anne_Ruston, to discuss all things aged care and funding.

Roses are red,
violets are blue,
fix aged care funding,
and Medicare too.

@DrGrinzi @brookmanknight I guess that kind of narrows it down, doesn't it?

[Roald Versteeg @versteeg_roald]

@Leo_Puglisi6 As I said to my 16 year old daughter, do your homework! I don't care that you've left it to the last moment, get it done.

@ALeighMP With an Eastern Roman Empire solidus on the front cover (Justin II?), you know it's going to be good :)

[Roald Versteeg @versteeg_roald]

@stephenjduckett @Hayley_Gleeson @CrabbBrendan Indeed, it comes down to utility Stephan. Feeling protected will increase your individual utility and therefore QALYs. But it is not the same as actually being protected, which will increase QALYs at a population level.

[Roald Versteeg @versteeg_roald]

@stephenjduckett Nothing wrong with 'service gaps' - it certainly describes exactly what's in the tin.

I was just curious about your preferred terminology.
