Great I’ll PM her info.

As for the slant, I’ve said pretty much all I know. I suggest discuss it with her further. I found her kinda naive (in a sweet, innocent way) and pretty oblivious to the politics behind it all. She seemed to genuinely not get my gentle nudges that they should compete more with their opposition where they can (led vs dac) because some competition is sorely needed.

I think it’s the journos you need to be most wary of and the spin they may potentially try to put on it. When the PBS listing was announced, that stupid Deb woman on the Today show actually asked the health minister if everybody would be able to get the drugs “no matter how they contracted the disease”. What a low life! You could try asking the journo if you could fact check the story for accuracy before it’s published/aired. But I wouldn’t be confident of them agreeing.
