    7.30 covered the coal debate at length tonight without using the words climate or emissions. It’s not alone, but this is weird, right - to not mention the reason coal is an issue. Politics & cost are key parts of the story. We also made commitments in Paris. Might be worth a look

    Removing barriers to accessing healthcare is important. Culturally appropriate spaces in EDs are a welcome addition to NSW public hospitals.

    Prevention is key to long-term sustainability of the health system....and it's absolutely wrong to blame 'cartel behaviour.' Medical Colleges absolutely committed to training a strong medical workforce. Major block?Inadequate funding of public hospitals where training happens!

    Prevention is important - but that doesn’t mean cartel behaviour in some areas of medicine shouldn’t be challenged. There are already huge waiting lists and prevention ain’t helping those patients.

    Let’s not fall into the short termism trap of ‘policy by headlines’. The genuine solution is to invest in prevention, not in more proceduralist doctors. We are already training 10 proceduralists for every single GP in Australia.

    I always thought I never got an answer from Dutton's office because his phone was in a stairless cellar, at the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying ‘Beware of the Leopard'. This is new info.

    Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton: "Some of the crazy lefties at the ABC and on The Guardian, Huffington Post, express concern and draw mean cartoons about me and all the rest of it. They don't realise how completely dead they are to me."
