Veterans' Affairs Minister #auspol .@DarrenChesterMP announces $2.1 million in the federal budget for "comprehensive health assessments" for veterans affected by tafenoquine and other drugs.

ie "comprehensive health assessments" for the #drugtrial #HumanGuineaPigs suffering the horrendous impact of neurotoxic #braindamage as a result of being #HumanGuineaPigs

Think of them like this generation's #AgentOrange Victims

Here is the press release.

In the .@canberratimes, @DVASecretary re-announces the $2.1 million "comprehensive health assessments" program for tafenoquine veterans who feel "aggrieved" by @DVAAus.

@canberratimes @DVASecretary @DVAAus "AGGRIEVED" is that a new medical term for #BrainDamage .@TheRACP? #AskingForAFriend ( .@DVASecretary take notes honey, I'm sure they will get back to us).

@canberratimes @DVASecretary @DVAAus @TheRACP Date: 23 August 2019:

@canberratimes @DVASecretary @DVAAus @TheRACP @dbcoopercalgary Bodner's post includes a leaked copy of a December 2017 brief to retired Australian Army Gen. John Caligari .@jcaligari, who was the CO of the Army unit subjected to the notorious tafenoquine drug trial in East Timor 2000-2001

@canberratimes @DVASecretary @DVAAus @TheRACP @dbcoopercalgary @jcaligari .@jcaligari is now the head of the Townsville-based "Operation Compass" suicide prevention initiative.

The brief raised serious safety concerns if the drug is registered by @TGAgovau, incl suicide risk.

.@DVAAus announces the $2.1 million contract to assess the most ill and vulnerable #BrainDamaged #drugtrial #HumanGuineaPigs has been awarded to.... .@BUPAAustralia 🎉🍾🥂

Yep #BUPA where Prof. Burns is a senior employee

@canberratimes @DVASecretary @DVAAus @TheRACP @dbcoopercalgary @jcaligari @TGAgovau @BupaAustralia @OpenArmsSupport @JoshFrydenberg @ScottMorrisonMP DATE: January 2020

In a mad scramble to ummm "consult" .@BUPAAustralia arranges meetings to design the health assessment program that presumably should have been designed as part of the tender process.

@canberratimes @DVASecretary @DVAAus @TheRACP @dbcoopercalgary @jcaligari @TGAgovau @BupaAustralia @OpenArmsSupport @JoshFrydenberg @ScottMorrisonMP ....now we have copies of the docs from those .@BupaAustralia "consultation meetings" and so far is it looking like a $2.1M exercise in gaslighting veterans with permanent #braindamage.

"#Delay, #Deny..." with added gaslighting

@canberratimes @DVASecretary @DVAAus @TheRACP @dbcoopercalgary @jcaligari @TGAgovau @BupaAustralia @OpenArmsSupport @JoshFrydenberg @ScottMorrisonMP So here you have it .@ScottMorrisonMP This is why your #ScoMoCommission is:

Not what we asked for. Less than what we need.

Call it now #VeteransRCNow
