I got into politics because as a doctor I saw big tobacco, junk food, alcohol and gambling corps driving preventable illness for profit.
Watching the Allan Labor Gov effectively close VicHealth is depressing and shows how little they value prevention. 1/2

This comprehensive review of the state of integrity in Victoria under the current Labor government shows we're seriously lagging behind other states.

Keeping secrets: How Victoria has fallen behind other states on integrity

The $100m BoM website update shows exactly why we need to build capacity in the public service and reduce our over reliance on consultants.

The Govt likes to tell us that the assessment process for mines and other major projects helps ensure health and environmental impacts are avoided or minimised. But what happens when information about serious impacts are deliberately suppressed? That's what's happening with lead mining in NSW 🤬🤯
