In the Wee Hours
Time is a traveller
Tenterfield saddler turn your head
Ride again Jackaroo
Think I see kangaroo up ahead
The son of George woolnough
Went off and got married
And had a war baby
But something was wrong
And it's easier to drink then go crazy
And if there were questions about why
The end was so sad
Well George had no answers about why a son
Ever has need of a gun
Time is a traveller
Tenterfield saddler turn your head
Ride again Jackaroo
Think i see kangaroo up ahead

Over the last 15 years, it has evolved into a behemoth and it now presents an extraordinary challenge for Australia’s healthcare providers and consumers. Trust in AHPRA is dropping at an extraordinary rate.
There is now widespread opinion that AHPRA has increased in bureaucratic function; and, based on multiple examples of it employing unorthodox approaches, has a self-appointed remit beyond its intended purpose – with chilling effect to the 850,000 HCPs (of which 15 per cent are doctors and over half are nurses) being handled with relative impunity. At the heart of this is the incompetence of investigators who, very simply, frequently misinterpret the subtleties of doctor-patient interactions and seemingly subscribe to the upside-down tenet that a ‘HCP must be guilty until innocence is proven’. Are these investigators drunk on power or forced to meet arbitrary targets? Probably both…
