Do you consider how much public policy shapes your personal choices? How much do you think your vote counts towards the world you want to see? In this episode Bridget interviews Andrew Hicks of the Health Australia Party, and Candidate Pippa Campbell, to explore why the ‘personal is political’. Through honest conversation on some of the ‘hot button’ health issues of today, we discuss health-management versus disease-management systems, the importance of informed consent, corporate vested interests that can shape research and public policy, media influence, and more.
