Acknowledgement of Country// Headlines// Sheree Lowe, Executive Director of the Balit Durn Durn Centre at the Victorian Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisation (VACCHO), joined us to discuss the Victorian government's failure to act on the urgent need for youth justice system reform scaling back the encroachment of the criminal legal system into the lives of young Aboriginal people. Late last month Attorney General Jaclyn Symes announced a backflip by the government on reverse onus bail reforms, and the concerning introduction of an electronic monitoring system to track children on bail in Victoria. Sheree Lowe is a Djab Wurrung and Gunditjmara woman with a strong connection to South West Victoria, and has lived most her life on Wadawurrung Country in Ballarat. She has been advocating within the Aboriginal Community in Victoria for over 20 years, and previously worked as a management consultant at PWC on projects related to organisational transformation through an Aboriginal lens and cultural safety program design.// Dr Rebekah Hoffman, General Practitioner at Kirrawee Family Medical Practice in Sydney and NSW/ACT chair of the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP), spoke with us about the latest Drug Checking Service pilot running out of Kings Cross' Medically Supervised Injecting Centre. This pilot builds on the life-saving history of drug checking service provision at fixed sites and festival pill testing in Australia, demonstrated in the ACT and Queensland. Dr Hoffman discussed how drug checking service provision will work based at a medically supervised injecting centre, and what the pilot seeks to achieve.// Content note: this interview contains discussion of massacres and systemic harm towards First Nations people.

This response follows the government's announcement of concerning proposed amendments to Victoria's bail laws, including trials for digital monitoring of minors on bail. We listen to part one of a conversation with Yoorrook Justice Commissioner Travis Lovett who joined Leila to discuss these recent developments and provide the latest updates on this year's Yoorrook hearings investigating land injustice, which began with on-Country evidence last month.//James Godfrey, spokesperson for Free Gaza Australia, a member of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, spoke with us about the Coalition's plans to set sail in mid-April to carry 5500 tons of humanitarian aid and hundreds of international human rights observers to Gaza. The Coalition, made up of international civilian groups fighting for freedom and human rights, will challenge the long-standing israeli siege on the Gaza Strip as israel's genocidal onslaught continues into its sixth month. James is a PhD student in the Faculty of Business, Government and Law at University of Canberra. For more than 35 years, he has been active in many campaigning organisations fighting for social justice, locally and internationally, including the Non-Stop Picket of the South African Embassy in London (1986-1989). In recent years, he has focused on justice for the Palestinian people and is a spokesperson for the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, which physically challenges the illegal israeli blockade of Gaza.//

Originally from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Dr Sanjeev became a qualified doctor in 1999 and then obtained a Master of Medicine in Family Medicine from the National University of Singapore in 2012. After migrating to Australia in 2014 he became a Fellow of the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners in 2015. He is a fully credentialed Family Physician in Singapore and a Fellow of the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP). While training to become a family physician in Singapore, he sat in with an endocrinologist who was treating T2D patients, after a few weeks he realised that every patient who was seen was increased in their medication and when they would return a few weeks later, there would be more medication increases. No one was getting better. This created a passion to find a better way to treat diseases like T2D, fatty liver, metabolic syndrome etc. Dr. Sanjeev started researching and discovered low carb/ carnivore/keto diet treatments which made more sense to him than the traditional treatment models. He is passionate about management of obesity, type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome through the scientifically proven low carbohydrate-high healthy fat diet. He has helped many diabetics go off their insulin injections by just showing them how to eat the right way. Low carb nutrition is transforming the lives of his patients.

Victor Medical Centre (http://www.victormedical.com.au/) has been awarded "General Practice of the Year" by the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP). GPs at the Victor Harbor clinic have a broad range of skills including anaesthetics, skin, obstetrics and mental health and they go the extra mile for their patients. CEO Richard Pierce joins Jennie Lenman in this podcast for a chat about the good news.

The Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP) says that the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak has revealed failures in the public health response. RACGP President Dr Harry Nespolon warned that the problems with the health response must not be ignored and called on the government to develop a national plan to deal with pandemics.

Updated guidelines released by the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP) now support vaping as a quitting aid for smoking patients.  Under the new guidelines, GPs and other health professionals can recommend vaping for smokers who have failed to quit smoking with the available treatments when patients raise the subject of vaping.  Vaping is now the most popular quitting aid globally and has helped millions of smokers quit the deadly addiction. The RACGP is to be congratulated for this breakthrough shift in policy which reflects the growing evidence base for vaping. Vaping is not risk-free, but according to the UK Royal College of Physicians is at least 95% less harmful than smoking as it does not contain the multitude of chemicals which are created from burning tobacco.

GPs are well placed to be included in end-of-life care for patients with life-limiting illnesses, and yet GPs have different understandings of their role.
