- Comment on Policy banning vape sales outside of pharmacies to go before Senate, health minister says 1 week ago:
And that’s a fair point to make but also one that now places Pharmacists in that role.
- Comment on Policy banning vape sales outside of pharmacies to go before Senate, health minister says 1 week ago:
A study measuring the aerosols from two vape users and comparing it with secondhand cigarette smoke found vapes produced a much lower level of ultrafine particles, but a much higher level of nanoparticles. It is not clear what risk these pose. Another study found vape use increased fine particles in a room’s air.
From SMH: Is secondhand vaping a growing threat or ‘fake news’?
It would seem the science is still not in on just how dangerous it is, but further in the article it says:
The question, says Demaio, is whether we should wait for conclusive evidence before taking action.
“We don’t have any long-term studies on the safety of these products, or on the safety of secondhand exposure. It took us 20 years to realise it [tobacco] was causing damage in the next generation of kids who were living with others who smoked.
“My worry is we take another two or three decades to realise the same thing.”
- Comment on Policy banning vape sales outside of pharmacies to go before Senate, health minister says 1 week ago:
I agree that it will further worsen the black market surrounding these products (just as the exorbitant ciggie tax has increased the illegal import of cigarettes that are not regulated.) A bunch of businesses will basically be shut down because of this … they can’t exactly pivot to something else. If they wanted to sell cigarettes they would have been doing so already.

- Comment on Let's chat about these SEVEN nuclear power plants the LNP want to build ... 2 weeks ago:
Yes. I was saying to my daughter this morning that they platform these crazy people and enable them. But then it is also true that they are in our govt so it moreover says a lot about a public that voted them into those positions and elevated their voice.
- Comment on From social housing to $1.5m for a studio: minister hits out at ‘dud deal’ sale of Sydney’s Sirius building 2 weeks ago:
The coalition have sold off almost every public asset - more and more each time they are in power. It’s so infuriating to watch as social benefits from our remaining govt budget are decreasing dramatically with the loss of income. I’m incensed by their negligent recklessness.
As to the loss of housing, well this again, is just further proof that LNP don’t care if poor and vulnerable are housed. God forbid, we cant have low income people living somewhere practical, convenient, and with a nice view! Though I’d hazard a guess that public housing was not rebuilt elsewhere to replace the loss of accommodation from the selling of this building.
