Upon finishing, I wanted to hold the book and all its intelligence, warmth, heart, and vulnerability to my chest so I could more fully absorb it all. #booksky #monstersbook #bookreview

Australia and Canada both did a "Oi mate, not only are you not going to be prime minister but you're not even going to be an MP anymore PS everyone thinks you're a c-" in the same week?

Climate change is a big issue for young people, 2nd only to cost of living. This is an opportunity to promote the interplay of planetary health & health behaviours e.g.

⬆️ increased active transport

What are we willing to give up in order to move forward? Parting question from Renee Williams on challenging systems & building solutions in Indigenous health.
If we dont get it right now we'll have another generation asking how we've failed our Indigenous people #prevention2025 #indigenoushealth

Restock with what's most useful and part with the redundant in our metaphorical toolbox. Allow ourselves to be led by our humanity.
Beautiful words from Fiona Cornforth on challenging and building solutions in Indigenous health. #prevention2025 #indigenoushealth

The political climate is giving racism permission. But this is not inevitable and must not be tolerated.

How to overcome racism & dysfunctional systems, structures & priorities to improve Indigenous health through prevention?

Community control works.

Three action packed days at #Prevention2025 conference in #Canberra. With the theme ‘Prevention is Political’, it is all about how public health priorities must sit at the centre of every policy decision making! 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻
More than 450 health experts are in Canberra/Ngunnawal Country for #Prevention2025 this week, discussing the politics of preventive health initiatives.

We’re excited to hear from many fantastic speakers on a diversity of topics, including #MentalHealth, food & #Nutrition, #ChildHealth & more.

Community do NOT want new fast food outlets in their neighbourhoods. But their voices are not being listened to, changes to planning laws are desperately needed to protect the health of the community - Ainslie Sartori #prevention2025 #communityvoices

Aussies still aren't eating enough f&v. Even if people aren't happy with supermarket produce, they dont feel like they can buy elsewhere. Convenience, time, cost, accessibility...etc, mean we are hemmed into the "convenient pondscum" of the supermarket - Ellen Wynn #prevention2025 #gofor2&5

We need to connect evidence with what is happening. This is where politics come in. Evidence alone doesn't make change.

With multi party government we know that the smaller parties are more faithfully representing their party and the policies they stand for. This is good for democracy. ✊️ Dr Richard di Natale, what an inspirational speaker #prevention2025 #auselection
April 28, 2025 at 3:57 AM
Richard di Natale reminds us that there is "dignity in that srtuggle" in continuing to push the prevention boulder up the hill. Such an important reminder for those days when we ask if what we are doing is worth it. #prevention2025 @publichealthaus.bsky.social

How do we keep pushing for prevention in politics? @paulcairney.bsky.social talking us through what does "prevention is political actually mean? The theme for this year's #Prevention2025 conference.

Terry Slevin opening the #prevention2025 conference with a reminder that politics is everywhere in prevention. In public health we need to be comfortable calling out the parties that do and those that do NOT prioritise prevention in health. #auselection
