Here at Passive Complicity we have had great pleasure in bringing you a week focussing on Health.  Lets first have a word from Errol
“I am alternately very kind, very cruel.” From My Wicked Wicked Ways, by Errol Flynn 1959.

Racism caused some distraction, but only for those who don’t suffer it.  See here.  Covert Racism is discussed in this weeks Musical Dispatch (which is not actually a Musical dispatch but a piece first published in The Global Mail and then in its parent The Guardian (UK)).  This piece reinforces all that the Musical Dispatch has been reporting over many years. It is (along with our treatment of refugees) Australia’s international shame.   We at Passive Complicity commend this article.  Read it here 

Now to Health.   The health of our car industry, and Ford Australia specifically deserved comment in our first piece.  comment came from our motoring expert Quantum Dumpster and from a PR consultant.  Check it here

Our second post ‘Health Care in the US;  a personal perspective’, gave a small insight into just a few of the downsides of a user pays health system. Read this piece here

Ira Maine introduced us to a very happy client at that well known (or should I say ‘Infamous’?) retirement home Endette Hall.  Her interesting story was carried over inot a second post. Read her story here and here http://www.pcbycp.com/health-3-of-4/ for the second part.

Wrapping health up for the week was ‘A PITHY OBSERVATION ON BLADDER TUMOURS’  by our first time contributor Tad Pole. This piece, which you can access here was most tastefully illustrated by Sir Bertram Postule.

Award winning Nunga poet, Ali Cobby Eckermann brought gave us a taste of endemic racism in her poem “Table manners”.  Read it here

Look for our dissertations on ‘Cults’, with our first post by the brilliant ‘disserter’ (or should it be ‘dissertationist’?) Cantina Baulk!

Happy reading.
Cecil and Quentin.
