Nicola Roxon discusses the implementation of plain packaging for tobacco “unlike other health policy in this case the opposition to the legislation was someone the public trusted less than politicians” #deeblelecture #universalhealthcare

Nicola Roxon “it is fair for government to act on evidence but you should expect influential stakeholders to do the same so get agreement first”. Calling out that not all stakeholders agree which is a challenge of policy development and implementation #deeblelecture

Nicola Roxon raises the equity issues around holes in our current Medicare system around issues like expensive personalized treatments - we don’t want a 2 tier system but will the design from 30 years ago work in the future? #deeblelecture

Today’s repeal of #Medevac is a shameful day. Blatant contempt for the health needs of people seeking refuge who have been detained for far too long by our government is unconscionable conduct.Secret political deals & politicians ignoring advice of doctors are our national shame.
