Dr Montgomery told Sky News he was “concerned” by WA Health Minister Roger Cook’s reported “comments that GPs who felt unable to see patients who were presenting worries about coronavirus”.
“That in doing so, such GPs were breaching their legal and moral duties… They want to see their patients, but they also want to protect the wellness of patients in their waiting room, and their staff, and their families,” he said. “State governments are responsible for hospitals, federal governments are responsible for general practice and we’ve seen very little provision of personal protective equipment from the federal government.

Is he talking all GP's? I would have thought if a GP can not keep their patients safe then they should not be seeing patients. If all Australian GP's are not getting protective equipment then we have a major problem, is that the case?

Taxpayer money 'should not go the AFL' | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Rita Panahi says “taxpayer money should not be going to the nation’s wealthiest sporting code” the AFL, which had profits of $48 million in 2019.\n\n“The AFL’s tax-exempt status helps it pay its executives millions in salaries and bonuses,” Ms Panahi said.\n\nThis comes after the St Kilda and Port Adelaide game held in China was cancelled due to the coronavirus outbreak.\n\nThe Victorian government subsequently gave the AFL a six-figure sum to have St Kilda play their home game against Port Adelaide at St Kilda's home stadium, which is owned by the AFL.\n\nThe explanation from the government for using public money is the game will be a celebration of Melbourne’s Chinese community.\n\n“If the government is going to throw away our money on frivolities, then the least it can do is be transparent about how much it’s spending”.\n\n“But the sports minister has refused to reveal the sums involved.\n\n“This decision highlights the Andrews government’s twisted priorities.'\n\nImage: Getty\n RitaPanahi and AFL pay no company tax!
