Another great series MDA . Enjoyed Happys dogged wisdom profile ( The realist who cares ) Especially his line to the young fresh faced lad “ why don’t they understand about immunization – why don’t we go to the papers and give it to them straight about the risk ” circ 17dec
A ---They don’t want to be reasonable mate !”. Not the game there and …….

Not the game here either ……Out here in the bush either where risks and realities of interference are real too!.

The libs are out of touch and the interfererers are right to ask for big picture rather than more of the petty politics of twin ledger accountancy . Sound health care is not driven from behind by reactive paradigm of purchaser and provider - economic models of mismanagement and misapprehension more like it . Abbott--you need just one lateral thinker in Canberra .You have got too many yes men!

Can we please get some attention from ABC journalists to dig deeper into all the green quackery and make the same challenge on behalf of competent people in the bush who remain totally unrepresented .

After all there is no MDA for competent risk assessing surgeons of the environment who get cut down daily by the lumbering logomachy of the unencumbered and growing legal ( and often compliant media) and legislative machinery designed to “help” .

Help whom ? see
