Next session at #RethinkAddiction: Reclaiming Australia’s role as a global leader in harm reduction 
#RethinkAustralia (pls note change in panellists)
"We know what we do is powerful and it works and we have to keep doing it. We have to recognise what we have in common and build on that. To do this more successfully we need funding & recognition of what we do...." Mary Harrod #RethinkAddiction
#RethinkAddiction opens for Day 2 - "where the rubber hits the road, where yesterday's lived experience becomes a campaign", says moderator @FaineJon
We start today with video address from @Emma4Dobell who acknowledges #RethinkAddiction is being held on the traditional lands of the Ngunnawal & Ngambri peoples. She talks of her background in health care, working as a pharmacist for 20+ years, and is keen to hear the conf calls.
"Gambling harm, two words I never thought would be part of my story," says @seselja_k, in the opening keynote for #RethinkAddiction Day 2. Says the stigma and shame fostered by the industry has contributed to growing harm, 'the problem gambler'.
Final panel session now for Day 1 #RethinkAddiction, where we will be hearing about addiction issues for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people - "one of the most important issues that this conference and the nation faces," says @FaineJon
