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. lnkd.in/dJFr_VXP

Age of criminal responsibility in Aus “a national embarrassment” - national children’s commissioner @AnneHollonds at #ACAH2022 #RaiseTheAge #auspol

Early bird regos and abstract submissions still open for this cracker of a conference by @AcademyCAH. April 7-9, see you there. Details at acah.org.au #MedTwitter

Excited to be listening to @AcademyCAH’s last Primary Care Webinar! Hearing all about the complexities of #adolescenthealth. Thanks to @DrBForrester for moderating such an exciting discussion.

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

Excited to hear from the wonderful @GillianTriggs on #refugees and child rights, courtesy of @AcademyCAH. #ACAH2020 @UNrefugees

Timely reminder from @tilmanaruff (in the time of #Covid19) that we have the capability of destroying the entire world, unless we rapidly pursue disarmament. We are “100 seconds to midnight”. @AcademyCAH #ACAH2020

Imagine how much good we could do (!!) Hearing from @SueWarehamACT on the impact of war on children (and the world) - and how we can improve it. @AcademyCAH #ACAH2020

In today’s @theage. With cases rising steadily we need to work harder to eliminate #Covid19.

Disgraceful. Public funding for private schools increasing rapidly (8 times higher in Vic!), leaving #publicschools to suffer. #Education is a public good, pollies. #auspol @DanielAndrewsMP @ScottMorrisonMP
