I - along with almost 50,000 co-signers - urge the Aus Federal Govt to grant humanitarian visas to Palestinians fleeing Gaza. As a doctor, it is my duty to advocate for health & safety. Sign the petition before tabling tomorrow by @DavidPocock: change.org/p/the-australian-…
Home Affairs confirmed this morning that ZERO humanitarian visas have been granted to ppl fleeing Gaza. Only tourist visas are being offered. Of the 2,191 ppl here on a tourist visa, only SIX have been granted a bridging visa with work & medicare rights.

A word about this malarkey regarding ADHD meds and people getting addicted to prescription things: have you met people? Ever? Especially the ones with ADHD? In what universe is there adequate object permanece to develop an addiction to a prescription drug, a controlled substance?

Very welcome govt message about the reality & significance of #LongCovid, the benefits of vacc & anti-viral treatments, & the increased risk with multiple infections. "Not getting C0VID" is also a crucial message. Stronger promotion from govt. on HOW to do this would be welcome.
This week, we talk to Dr Bernard Shiu about symptoms and care for long COVID. “While we are still learning about this new condition, what we know for sure is that the best way to not get long COVID is to not get COVID.” For more information, visit: go.vic.gov.au/3pVHnDs
