Behaviour change is often overrated as the ultimate solution to improve health because without social, economic & structural environments that facilitate rather than obstruct healthy choices, behaviour change remains a privilege reserved for those who have the resources to remove the obstructions.

A very senior Liberal politician once told me: "Wendy, there is nothing the Government can do that private companies can not do better." Add childcare to that ever-growing list.

It’s absolutely critical that the Albanese govt holds firm against the attacks on the PBS by US pharma. That includes protecting generics. Affordable medicines are key to our universal health system.

A childcare crisis is afflicting so many parents and families across our country. Amidst all that worry and deep concern, there is too little discussion of the private-profit business model that runs 75% of childcare in Australia. It cuts care to the bone. It has to change.
