Thoroughly enjoyed working with my FNQ Australian Party colleagues today on our approach to health reform for Cairns and FNQ. Had a very productive meeting with stakeholders today who were able to give a great insight into what is happening and what needs to happen. We were able to provide input and ideas and ways to 'think outside the square' because it is clearly not working at the moment. The fact the Cairns Post has nearly had a story a day on problems recently shows action is needed.
It also helps to have someone who knows what they're talking about on the subject you're discussing and having a doctor as a team mate sure helps when you're discussing health issues.
We will continue to listen to and work with those stakeholders that really know what is going on in health in our area who, if those in authority would listen, would be able to provide advice on how to address some issues.
I'm very excited about some of the ideas and concepts we will be releasing soon. When the finishing touches are put on this, the people of Cairns and FNQ will see that we are a viable team with real policies and ideas and not just more false promises.
