“I think the main reason for that is that they don’t see immediate value in it,” he told Sky News host Jenna Clarke.

The Australian Medical Association is calling for a new regulator to oversee the private health system and drive reforms in the sector as it warns the industry is on the brink of becoming unsustainable, according to a report from The Australian.

‘We don’t know how big’: Qld wave of flu, COVID cases has CHO worriedThe chief health officer said vaccine mandates would remain in place for health workers, and urged Queenslanders and doctors to be aware of COVID medicines.

The simplest thing to bring numbers down would be a mask mandate, which he refuses to even consider.
