Addressing anti-LGBTQ+ discrimination should be on the Albanese Government's agenda for its Economic Reform Roundtable, to be held later this week.

But sadly it probably won't be.

Most Australians with #osteoarthritis miss out on proven care - costing $4.3B/yr, 75% on avoidable surgeries. Evidence-based programs could save $1B+, cut pain & boost productivity.
At #EconomicReformRoundtable we urge investment in better care.
