aboriginal health council WA conference is, as expected, a sucker punch

dawn casey, NACCHO acting CEO, reminds the crowd that aboriginal healthcare receives 13% of the national health funding but serves 50%+ of indigenous people

interestingly simon millman, parliamentary secretary to the WA health minister, takes off his official hat for a moment and condemns the racism inherent in the system that causes death and misery, and acknowledges that the australian government has a lot of listening to do. brave move.

senator for NT malarndirri mccarthy has good news stories: number of indigenous doctors in torres strait have gone from one to 127; new funding for healthcare workforce training for more doctors and nurses, new dialysis machines in remote communities
