LAST WEEK was a rowdy one in public health echelons of Van Diemen’s Land.

Perhaps these protectors might take a leaf out of the risk assessment protocols of the Demonian Fire Service, for fire-fighters they just might turn out to be… extinguishing megafires created by vast acres of toxic plantation monocultures!
Our darling OBE, BreakO’Day councillor and long time GP at St Helens has been the focus of much scorn and derision of late, and if the coffee dregs and tea bags of bureaucrat meetings last week have anything to portend, our courageous Alison is in for more public pillorying and political scapegoating.
What’s new, I hear you say - T’was ever thus in Van Diemen’s Land!
But what is all this silliness! Of ‘declaring war’ on our good & fearless doctor? 
What ire would enter imp-ish hearts and minds to contemplate such mischief-making?
Be gone tired actors, enough of such shenanigans. Call her committed; call her unswerving; call her dedicated, but a ‘fruit loop’ she is NOT!
Her highly placed detractors would do well to heed her measured advice and quench the all-consuming fires in their hearts.
