From privatised surgeries and telehealth replacing GPs, to unsafe workplaces and corporate interference in medical standards, Gary draws on frontline experience to explain how the RSB could worsen already-dire conditions for patients and providers alike. He warns that the Bill’s so-called “principles” — like cost-efficiency and minimal restriction on private interests — mask a far-reaching agenda to prioritise corporate profits over public health and safety.
We talk about:
What healthcare looks like in rural, underfunded communities — and how it’s changing
Why the RSB could undermine public health interventions and weaken medical regulation
How the Bill empowers unelected boards to delay or obstruct laws
The risk of losing safety standards in areas like workplace protections, smokefree laws, and medicine regulation
Why doctors, nurses and patients alike should be raising the alarm
Gary doesn’t hold back — calling the RSB a “Trojan horse” for corporate power and making the case for direct public resistance. This is a must-listen for anyone who cares about the future of our health system.
