That is a hell of a lot of medication and once the Newman government privatise the State's free hospitals pharmaceuticals, that will cost the t.b sufferer a hell of a lot of money. I suspect those who won't be able to afford it will just take some of the medication and hope for the best.<br />Hoof Hearted, I agree with Bob R. The Newman Government are creating open pathways for the disease to take root again and flourish in the community. As ruby points out as well, once Queensland has a contagion raging, we can kiss our AAA rating goodbye.Sethnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3182703408922632531.post-34863976756101832682013-03-18T09:16:10.008+10:002013-03-18T09:16:10.008+10:00While State health services continue to be decimat...While State health services continue to be decimated, another LNP member is caught with fat fingers in the cookie jar!<br />http://www.couriermail.com.au/news/queensland/queensland-liberal-national-party-mp-for-redcliffe-scott-driscoll-link-to-fund-scandal-and-claims-of-secret-control-of-taxpayer-funded-community-association/story-e6freoof-1226599398605Tony Hillierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06811119917896735831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3182703408922632531.post-41926811005061196992013-03-18T07:01:29.832+10:002013-03-18T07:01:29.832+10:00Let's see: "Cairns Closed!

I mean Jesus Christ if someone does get bloody crook, and they're not well off, they won't be able to pay for their medication once the LNP privatises hospital pharmacys. Holy fucken hell, just imagine what it is going to be like on Thursday Island and in the Cape? We will have dead indigy people everywhere. Meanwhile Campbell Newman is spending $658 million building himself a tower in Brisbane while giving the finger to all of us up here.

With massive international air travel, and tens of thousands of Australians travelling to China and hundreds of thousands of Chinese expected to fly here, it is only a matter of time before some infected people slip through and the disease starts spreading. The young won't know what it is and probably will think it great that they lose weight. The Queensland Government are not doing anything at all to prevent or contain the disease from entering Queensland. It seems they don't give a stuff.<br />You would think that an education program would be implemented by this warning Queenslanders of the symptoms etc. But oh that's right, the Newman Government have made massive cutback to health education programs.

Opening up our doors wide open to the Chinese without any precautions whatsoever, taking money away from t.b. clinics, reducing medical funding in the Cape and the Torres Straits and now, the latest, taking funding away from the Salvation Army. So we will now see homeless people out in the elements suffering from malnutrition, perfect sitting ducks with compromised immune systems, to contract t.b. Oh, and privatising some medical services, including pathology and pharmacy. So that if a person does get t.b. and they are on a low income, what fucken chance will they have of paying for their medication? NONE. Yeah, adding it all up, the LNP are doing everything they can to make bloody damned certain we get another major contagion in this State. If any LNP fuckwit is reading this, your $$$$$$$$ won't give you any immunity against a raging contagion.

As China has developed and grown wealthier, it hasn't reined in its TB problem.
