We need an informed, engaged and insightful debate about immigration policy. Knee-jerk reactions, inflammatory rhetoric & short-term political point-scoring shouldn’t derail Australia’s long-term progress. Immigration policy is too important for that abc.net.au/news/2026-09-20/i…

Accountability is not measured in billions of dollars. It is measured in outcomes. More money alone will not save the health system. Sow us the outcomes, measure them publicly, and hold the system accountable for delivering them open.substack.com/pub/alamyo…

#RuralGeneralist is like a Swiss knife — able to morph into whatever the situation demands. It’s not multitasking for the sake of it; it’s connecting all parts of #ruralhealth care into one purpose @RuralDoctorsAus @ACRRM @RiverinaRTHub @RuralDoctorsOrg omny.fm/shows/destination-me…

Everyone’s talking about the “new” bulk billing incentives. Is it really a win for general practice — or a slow trap that trades independence for control? Access & quality shouldn’t be opposites, yet somehow, our system keeps forcing us to choose open.substack.com/pub/alamyo…

🚁 $158.8M for 3 new ambulance helicopter bases in rural NSW is a WIN! But the job’s not done until we fix retrieval pathways such as no >250 km by road, selection of destination 🏥 @RyanPark_Keira @NSWAmbulance @RuralDoctorsAus @RDANSW

Billion-Dollar Digital Health Record SDPR @NSWHealth — That Forgot to Talk to Primary Care! It took Special Commissioner to finally state obvious! @RyanPark_Keira @RACGPPresident @RuralDoctorsAus @stephenjduckett @MelissaSweetDr @ACRRM

Special Com Inquiry into Acute Care by @NSWHealth screaming out 👉🏼Embedding prevention in State health services is MUST 👉🏼If primary care is inefficient, 2ry/Tertiary care won’t cope/perform Major restructure needed @RyanPark_Keira @JulieLeask @RACGPPresident @RuralDoctorsAus

Let it die, just don’t be seen killing it: The silent policy behind rural procedural decline Rural hospitals are hollowing out — open in name, empty in service. We chase ‘system safety’ while communities left unsafe? @RACGPPresident @DoverMarian @RyanPark_Keira @RuralDoctorsAus

$265M GP training (400+spots) $205M GP reg sal incentives $44M GP trainee entitlements $44M John Flynn placements $48M 100+ CSP med students $3.5B tripling bulk bill incentives $500M women’s health Total 4B What is rest of 8.5B for? @stephenjduckett @wrightdrmc

✅Will $8.5B Medicare boost reduce out-of-pocket costs? Yes ✅It will easily increase fully bulk-billing practices. Already 4,500 clinics are (out of 7,500) fully bulk-billing Good policy @wrightdrmc @MaritaCowie @Mark_Butler_MP @AlboMP
