We train doctors in the #biology of health and over the last decade or so we've got better at understanding the key role played by the #socialdeterminants of health. Now we must appreciate that the environmental context has a profound influence. #climatechange

A day in Canberra trying to stop Middle Arm and Beetaloo Basin gas fracking, at the end of which the federal government voted to prevent a senate enquiry into the impacts.
So proud of @DavidPocock and @Mon4Kooyong for their work.

Today I joined @Mon4Kooyong with 100 doctors from around 🇦🇺 to call on the Govt to withdraw $1.5B funding for the Middle Arm petrochemical hub on Darwin harbour.
Middle Arm will turn Darwin into a cancer alley and unlock the Beetaloo Basin to fracking.

I’d like to take a minute to talk to you about why it’s time to hold the fossil fuel industry accountable for their role in the climate crisis.

The billion tonnes of emissions from NT fracking wont just effect the Northern Territory. I live in regional Victoria and it will make fires, floods and heatwaves worse for me.
So yeh, I feel just fine about about having my say on it. theguardian.com/australia-ne…

In case you missed it, check out @BessellSharon’s episode on #PolicyForumPod. She looks at how Robodebt became an acceptable policy, why child poverty is allowed, and she gives us hope for the future.

The devastation in northern hemisphere is a deeply concerning sign of what may be in store for 🇦🇺 in this & future summers.
We need leadership & bold action to protect the people & places we love.
Yet 🇦🇺 govt keep approving new fossil fuel projects 🤯

On 8 August, 80+ paediatricians, GPs, nurses & other healthcare professionals will come to parliament and call on the govt to withdraw taxpayer subsidies for the Middle Arm gas processing & export hub.
I stand with them - you can join them too.

But remarkably undeterred, Australia continues approving and subsidising huge new fossil fuel projects like fracking the Beetaloo Basin… aiming for a one in 10-billion-year event perhaps? #auspol abc.net.au/news/2023-07-24/a…
