Proper ventilation is essential for people's health especially those with respiratory problems such as asthma, lung conditions and breathing problems, etc. Exhaust fans need to be installed in apartments and units in Queensland. I have an exhaust fan in my bathroom installed years ago by my housing department landlord and a smoke alarm in the lounge-room which is a legal requirement and which is checked every year. I have not had mould in my bathroom and I'm sure it's because of the exhaust fan which is connected to the light switch. The Premier, David Crisafulli, ought to be informed of this situation of the exhaust fans needing to be installed in kitchens and bathrooms.

I'm a psychologist and frequently hear evidence from clients about the unknown side effects of stopping medication vs tapering off correctly.

Having been on Cymbalta for years for pain, only to have many side effects now & find out Cymbalta very well may be contributing to my pain (& having a neuro psychiatrist tell me that this wasn't helping my pain in the first place!!???), this drug is a nightmare! Doctors aren't educated enough about it. I am on my third attempt to get off this drug, all three times under doctors care. The first two times years ago were a nightmare! With today's knowledge, I now know how my doctors tried to do it was completely wrong & I suffered horribly because of it (& ended up back on it). There are millions of people (& our families) who have suffered because of this drug & many, many who have chosen to end their lives because of it. It is completely criminal that we were put on it, that we can'[t get off it & that millions of doctors aren't educated enough to help patients stay off it (by not prescribing it anymore) or to help them safely wean off it. Whether we were prescribed this poison because of auto immune issues, pain, mental issues...we all were suffering from something before. To have been put on this poison & suffer more because of it is unconscionable.

Excessive working hours are not safe! Fatigue is not a good place to be in when decisions are needed in patient care. Reasonable hours and sufficient time between shifts is a right. Our doctors need our support. We need them to be mentally fit and fresh! This is how we are safe in hospitals. Transport patients to external radiology clinics so that diagnosis is made quickly rather that patients stuck in hospital beds waiting for limited availability in big hospitals. Win win on both fronts.
