Abbott's Antibiotic Death Epidemic
May 1st, 2014 at 7:20am
 
So we have drug resistances bacteria and mr abbott is

- setting up financial resistance for people to visit doctors via his great big new doctor tax.

- opening our market to dumping from his so called "free trade deals' of food full of antibiotics which will weaken the population further.



Why is abbott out to undermine the health of Australians ... and why do cons support him in this?

Is his agenda an epidemic and crash in the country's population?

EMMA ALBERICI, PRESENTER: Specialists in infectious diseases are raising concerns about the potential for drug-resistant bacteria to slip through Australia's borders. Currently there are no food standards covering superbugs in either domestic or imported foods and some experts are warning of dire consequences. This report from Jason Om; the producer, Candice Talberg.

JASOM OM, REPORTER: Superbugs are a doctor's worst nightmare. They're bacteria that refuse to die. But the more antibiotics are used, the stronger their resistance grows.

The problem is having a direct effect at Melbourne's Austin Hospital, where Professor Lindsay Grayson is seeing more cases of superbug infections.

LINDSAY GRAYSON, AUSTIN HOSPITAL: We have a number of very suspicious cases where patients, people who've never been out of Australia and the only way - yet they've come in with superbug infections. They haven't been taking antibiotics and yet they've got this superbug in their blood or in their urinary tract or whatever. And so it makes us worried that the only way they could have picked that up is through food.

JASOM OM: Resistant staph has long been a problem in hospitals, but doctors are now becoming concerned about infections from superbugs in food. Often it's Australian travellers who return home and have fallen victim. It's led infectious disease experts to believe that imported food could also pose a problem.

LINDSAY GRAYSON: The tsunami which is sort of on the horizon is this growing use of antibiotics in food production overseas, largely uncontrolled.

JASOM OM: Antibiotic use in food production and the resistance it creates is a global concern. America's Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says antibiotics use to promote growth in food-producing animals should be phased out.

So what protection did the cons put in these so called free trade deals ... have we got the right to stop food full of antibiotics or did Abbott sell the countries health out for a news headline.

Did Abbott sign a free trade agreement with the meteorite to allow it to destroy Australian society ... if not, what is the connection to abbott allowing our food chain to be flooded with antibiotics ... abbott putting doctors out of the reach of the financially challenged?

Abbott signs FTAs just to get a headline. Whether the Agreement helps Australian primary or secondary industry he doesn’t care. He has indicated—total stupidity—he wants an FTA with China by the end of the year. The Chinese just stick to their demands and Australia will have to cave. Loony toons stuff.

I don’t eat imported foods and certainly not chinese rubbish.

Rudd posted "selfies" of himself doing his best Norman Gunston impersonation and used trips to the church as photo ops. Labor would also regularly hold big press conferences to "announce" policies or programs that has previously been announced by themselves (but not delivered) years prior. Labor was very good at seeking headlines - both good and bad (more of the latter than the former).

That is not refuting what I posted.

FTAs are a bit more serious than some selfies FFS!

You don't half post complete and utter crap green. It's a world-wide thing, so what the hell has it got to do with Abbott? Six bucks isn't going to make any difference at all to the antibiotic problem, but it may help the health service in the future.

Go on ask why if your brain has packed in, as usual.

If someone puts off going to the quack then an infection has the time it needs to really take hold. Pretty elementary.

The $6 is not for helping the health system, it is the first step in destroying Medicare.

It is one step in paying off the enormous debt the previous government put this country into which WILL benefit the health system in the future.

Nah, cancelling the tax expenditures will save heaps more money, undoing the last 2-3 income tax cuts will fix the revenue hole, running out the NBN and boosting NewStart will boost the ecnomy. $6 to see a doctor, blrrrrttt!

Once Wayne Swan's $400bn+ debt is reduced substantially (along with the associated interest payments), there will be no need for this fee and the money saved on interest alone can be used to provide more funding for health, schools, roads, etc. Money spent on paying off a debt is money wasted that could be used on services instead. Only a retard such as yourself could not comprehend such simplicity.
