 He comes from South Australia and has been in Parliament since 2007. So he has been around!

Mark Butler - a lawyer and union official.

Well he knows all there is to know about healthcare and digital health then.

Rather disrespectful to the medical profession and the people of Australia.

He has been involved in health politics for a decent period. His education probably lends itself well to the role - if you have ever had the good fortune of sitting through federal policy and legislation drafting, you'll know just how gripping a read it gets the 50th time round.

I met Mark perhaps 10 years ago when I worked at NPS MedicineWise. He was well briefed and on the ball. He has clearly had an interest in the health portfolio for a long time.
