Greens congratulate medical professionals standing up for children in detention
The Australian Greens have congratulated doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals for taking a strong stand against children in detention today.
"I left medicine to go into politics for the exact same reason that these health workers are making a stand today: we've got to fix the factors that make people sick. By locking up innocent people, denying them decent medical care and stripping them of all hope we are actively creating harm," said Greens Leader Dr Richard Di Natale.
