About this episode

Wednesday Headlines: AFP formally requests the PM’s number be taken down from US website, search for missing Gus expanded after advice from survival specialists, US conspiracy theorist Alex Jones has Sandy Hook hoax appeal rejected, Instagram introduces PG-13 restrictions for teen accounts, and how the government’s about to make $70 million from unused public transport cards. 

Deep Dive: While Australians are spending more time and money at the GP, new research shows our health system is struggling to keep up - with rising costs, growing patient complexity, and doctors warning that Medicare hasn’t moved with the times. 
 
So what exactly is driving the pressure and are the government’s promises enough? 

In this episode of The Briefing, Chris Spyrou is joined by Dr Michael Wright, President of the Royal Australian College of General Practitioner’s to discuss.
