- human rights law in Australia
- the human rights implications of AHPRA
- various National Boards’ conduct over the past two years.
AMPS is a brave and pioneering group of more than 10,000 medical professionals who have decided to create their own body rather than rely on those such as AHPRA and the AMA who are supposed to represent them all; but who instead have spent the past two years persecuting them for having any view which is alternate to that of self-interested politicians and the conflicted experts whose advice they rely on.
This move towards self-governance is happening everywhere, in all industries and areas of life. It is one of the benefits to come from the past two years. Parallel systems always arise in the face of absolutism.
In a great article in the Spectator AMPS said as follows:
“If we are forbidden by the government to adhere to our codes and make our patients our primary concern, then this is the end of medicine and the death of science.”
AMPS has been calling for a Royal Commission into the government response to Covid, while advocating strongly for law reform needed now to allow practitioners to advocate for their patients as their primary concern. We cannot stay silent while adherence to public health messaging becomes the new accepted standard of good medical practice. Our patients, not politicians, are who we serve, no matter the personal cost.”
