Excited to see my piece on why #elimination of #Covid19 is the best way for Aus published by @theage. 6 weeks of #lockdown in Melb is unlikely to be enough.

I made a a Substack to share some thoughts on public health, medicine, and (sometimes) more.
New post on the flu vaccine and why parents don't get it for their kids - and how we can make it easier for them to change their mind.

While COVID controversies continue, we must not forget about other crucial issues. #RaiseTheAge will stop our nation's pre-adolescent and early adolescent children being incarcerated and may help us turn a therapeutic eye to their needs. If we have the will. @AcademyCAH @TheRACP
The RACP supports raising the age of criminal responsibility to 14 years of age, in line with the recommendation of 31 countries during the UN Human Rights Council universal periodic review process. smh.com.au/politics/federal/… #RaiseTheAge
Join up! Cannot recommend highly enough.
Thanks to all those who have supported our growing organisation in the past year! For those who are child and adolescent health professionals and would be interested in rejoining/renewing membership, head to acah.org.au

Who is this “Sri Lankan” family? This media release doesn’t even afford them the respect of referring to them by name. Tharnicaa, Kopika, Priya and Nades Murugappan are real people with real trauma. Please stop using dehumanisation tactics. #hometobilo
Patrick Walker retweeted
The Academy of Child and Adolescent Health adds its voice to @TheRACP, @RANZCP, @ama_media and many other professional organisations: We call on @karenandrewsMP and @AlexHawkeMP to urgently release the Murugappan family, so they can go #HometoBiloela.
The RACP is calling on the Federal Government to urgently release the Biloela family from detention and says Australia’s detention of refugees and asylum seekers continues to fly in the face of medical advice. Read media release > racp.edu.au/news-and-events/…
Remember this photo and the complete failure of @karenandrewsmp and our govt to show humanity and decency when you vote in the next fed election. #hometobilo #auspol
Don’t miss it! #MedTwitter #ACAH2021
Just one week until Prof Fiona Stanley AC joins us for the first of our #acah2021 webinars to share her wisdom - are today's youth still the Children of the Lucky Country? Join us at 7pm AEDT on Thursday 18th Feb! Register at events.humanitix.com/profess…

It must be a century or more since an Australian prime minister so profoundly blew an interpretation of what Australia Day is all about. – at Bawley Point, New South Wales
