I started by challenging the Q ("Capitalism is a choice not a necessity"), gave him a brief overview of Western civilisation, mentioned Adam Smith, touched on Marxism, racism, colonialism, feminism and used the USA as an example of the problems with unfettered capitalism.

We need development and adherence to a new National Rural Health Strategy. Not just a set of principles but a plan with measurable targets, programs, dollars, and public reporting – ruralhealth.org.au/election1… #AusHealthVotes #Vote1RuralHealth

Priority 3. Expand the health research capacity of rural Australia. A third of the population deserve a third of the research funds! A stronger focus on rural health research; (rural and remote currently not getting its fair share through MRFF, NHMRC, ARC). @nhmrc

Risk factors more common among rural ppl eg alcohol (see news fm @FAREAustralia, smoking, risky behaviours, occupational injury, poor nutrition, ice, sedentary. #SDOH critical eg lower levels of educ., income, connectivity. Poor access to health services compounds these issues

Rural and remote places are diverse. The rural–urban differences are based on aggregates or averages. The more remote the area, the more significant the deficits and challenges. #Vote1RuralHealth #AusVotesHealth @NRHAlliance

In Victoria, approx. 900 Specialist Community Mental Health Staff have been left to seek new employment due to the inability to be supported by the price structure in the NDIS based services, as those services are not specialised for Mental Health. #AusVotes19 #ausvoteshealth

The social determinants of health have a profound impact on tooth decay. Children from the lowest socio-economic areas have 70% more decay than children from the highest socio-economic areas. #AusVotesHealth #AusVotes19 #Dental @AusHealthcare

A number of health issues need highlighting this election. The first is inadequate investment in preventive health. Investment in preventive health and supporting people to adopt healthier lifestyles would save significant future health care costs. #AusVotesHealth #AusVotes19
