Toddler milk formula manufacturers are using influencers, targeted digital advertising and on-pack claims to try and convince Australian families that these overpriced, high-sugar products are ‘essential’ for their child’s health. What you need to know➡️ vichealth.vic.gov.au/media-and-reso…

Great outcome with rollout of Suburban Response Units across Melbourne to ensure locally-informed approach to contact tracing and outbreak management. Community-based response has a key role to play. @MishaColeman @DHHS @VictorianCHO @biomelb @MStoove premier.vic.gov.au/local-response…

New report .@HumanFutureAu report calls for strategic food policy reform in Australia. One key recommendation to future-proof our food system is a 'fit-for-purpose food governance' infrastructure; a National Food policy & Food Council 👏👏👏 .@fitzhunter humanfuture.net/sites/default/…

The 5km movement restriction in #Melbourne is another way #CovidVic is exposing inequalities in our city’s fabric. If you’re in an inner suburb, or leafy middle, you may well have plenty of pleasant places to walk, interact with nature and alternatives for food shopping...(1/)

June went from knowing she “didn’t feel quite right”, to 32 days in ICU. As coronavirus quickly took hold, medical staff believed she may not live through the first night. The virus has left its mark, with June now home, but continuing to fight against its impact on her body.

A group of Canadian physicians has issued new guidelines saying that obesity should be defined by a person's health rather than just their weight. In their view, weight discrimination impedes treatment and medicine has made little room for body positivity. cnn.it/3fE0nLn

Like other twitter users have reported, I am also left curious as to why there is no electronic record of a #robodebt reassessment letter in my MyGov inbox. For me, other letters are there, but not this one. #Solidarity and good luck to all those still fighting. 5/5

Early 2019, I finally got this letter. I still had #robodebt, but not as much. The original assessment was wrong. No apology. No explanation. No calculations. No compensation for the impact @Centrelink had caused me. No help to dispute it further 4/5

So grateful to get the letter re #robodebt class action by @gordonlegal_au from @Centrelink. Every Australian deserves to know the truth. Every person and family impacted deserves justice. I believe our govt. knew what they were doing was wrong and unlawful. 1/5

We are experiencing an unprecedented number of calls from thousands of people who have received notices in their #MyGov accounts today. If you are having difficulty getting through, info about the #robodebt class action is on our website robodebtclassaction.com.au/robodebt-class…
