Hydroxychloroquine has been criminalised in some Australian states despite being clearly listed on the World Health Organisation’s page of essential medications. Dr Gill said following the medical atrocities committed by doctors during World War Two, the International Code of Medical Ethics was formed to protect the sanctity of the doctor-patient relationship from any future intrusion by government.

PM working on a COVID-19 'hotspot' definition | Sky News AustraliaSky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell says the Prime Minister and Health Minister will work with state premiers to come forward with a plan for a national hotspot definition which will allow borders to reopen.\n\n“It has been put to me the hotspot definition could come into effect when the number of new cases reach say 50 to 100 cases a day but ultimately it will be up to the states,” Mr Clennell said.\n\n“The states will have to agree to the number of cases that trigger a national definition of a hotspot. \n\n“If the states can't agree on it, and WA and Queensland are particular holdouts, the borders simply won't open to places like NSW, which will continue to hurt the national economy and cost jobs.'\n\nA northern New South Wales family has been grieving the loss of an unborn twin after Queensland's tough border closures delayed emergency treatment for the child's mother.\n\nConfusion over the state's border exemptions mean't the couple was unable to travel to Brisbane for care.\n\n“There was an absolute eruption in the Coalition party room on this one that saw many cases of hardship told by several backbenchers,' Mr Clennell said. \n\n“Speaking in favour of a lifting of border closures were Dave Sharma, Jason Falinski, Tim Wilson, Perin Davey amongst others. \n\n“An MP has told me the PM's office is getting 30 heartbreaking letters a day on this, including the story of a couple who wanted to travel from Melbourne to Brisbane to hold the hand of their dying son and it took a week and a half to get a permit.\n\n'As one Liberal MP said to me, at the start of the meeting Scott Morrison was saying that he did not like what was happening with the border closures but he understood why premiers in Queensland and WA were doing it because of how it played electorally. \n\n“But by the end of the meeting several MPs have said the Prime Minister has come around and was determined to do something to end these border closures.”\n\nImage: News Corp Australia
