Dear Health Minister
The Hon Greg Hunt MP
I know that it is my duty to keep you informed of MY WILL on anything that comes before parliament, or that should come before parliament.
IT IS MY WILL that you take immediate action to tell the AHPRA Board to stick to regulating the medical competence of doctors, not their political correctness.
APHRA is a mighty body with powers to prosecute, involve police and apply criminal sanctions to doctors who transgress medical ethics and the law. It was designed to stop killers, incompetents and charlatans who endanger lives, not to stop private citizens with medical degrees from expressing their opinions.
The AHPRA Board must not be allowed to give itself extra powers to censor and intimidate doctors who do not share its worldview.
Through history, dissident doctors opposed to the medical consensus have advanced science. In the 19th Century, Hungarian doctor Ignaz Semmelweis hypothesised that new mothers were dying of childbed fever in his Vienna hospital because doctors weren’t washing their hands. He asked them to clean their hands with chlorine before attending childbirths and the rate of childbed fever plummeted.
If APHRA, in its Orwellian revision to its code of conduct, succeeds in using the threat of deregistration to silence dissenting doctors who speak out on contentious topics, political Correctness will hinder future advances in medicine.
The AHPRA Board must not be allowed to give itself extra powers to censor and intimidate doctors who do not share its worldview.
Doctors must be permitted to speak up and APHRA’s proposed "Code of Contact" will favour "politically correct" information rather than "medically correct" information and I therefore oppose this proposed change.
IT IS MY WILL Health Minister that you act on this issue, protecting the free speech of medical practitioners and potentially future medical breakthroughs.
Yours faithfully

LETTER TO AHPRA
TO medboardconsultation@ahpra.gov.au
Subject: APHRA’s proposed "Code of Contact"
Dear AHPRA
When I attend a Doctor I expect to hear the truth about my health and to get his or her best advice on what I should do.
I do not expect to be told something that is "politically correct", but only what is "medically correct."
This proposed "Code of Contact" will favour "politically correct" information rather than "medically correct" info and I therefore oppose this proposed change.
Yours sincerely
