When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the Powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. (Thomas Jefferson)

The case of Dr William Bay challenging the power that AHPRA is quite intriguing to me.
Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) was created to make it easier for doctors, from one State, to have their creditials transferred easily to another.
I like an organised procedure.
I also recognise that sometimes there are ambitious people who want to create a concentration of Power and Control.
Bureaucracy tends to grow and grow until it becomes counter to its original creation.
Humans seem to enjoy the rotating doors of History to learn old lessons again, and again.
I enjoy the, toing and froing, of debate and discussion.
I'm a fence sitter - so I am rarely 100% on any one topic.
I like the minutiae of topics and the deep dives.
However, when people start to be silenced, even bad idea, it troubles me.
Airing ideas provides for the progression of good ideas.
Bad ideas tend to not last that long.
Propaganda is usually used to extend the life of a bad idea & attempt to put out the flame of a good idea.
