I suspect not....this is unalloyed propaganda - and it will destroy trust I believe. Is the ADHA so horrified with the response of ordinary Australians to opt-out that they resort to this in a tiny country town? Pretty desperate I reckon! And very sad.... I wonder how much the taxpayer paid for all this?

I would say without counting support costs probably 25k. The certainly are dragging out whoever they can find.
ReplyDeleteThe ADHA is talking with the wrong people. The people who matter now are GPs and Senators. They will not be quite so gullible or easily hoodwinked.

ReplyDeleteThe ADHA is talking at the wrong people - quite agree, it would seem the are making great effort to completely ignore some

As sound as his credentials might be, I find no evidence this chap is a practicing Doctor or indeed ever been one in Australia
ReplyDeleteMike is a fine Health Informatician who I am sure knows full well there are all sorts of issues with the myHR and playing a big part in campaigns like this can not do any of us any good!
ReplyDeleteMy beef is NOT with him but with those who set all this unthinking drivel up!
