Our submission on the Position Paper on the Promotion of Therapeutic Goods
- Dr Ken Harvey
When Dr Ken Harvey spoke to Vic Skeptics earlier this year, a lot of us came away feeling that the Therapeutic Goods Administration was not serious about its role in ensuring that Australians have good information about and acess to reliable and safe over-the-counter medicines and therapeutic devices. An opportunity has since arisen for us to have our “two bob’s worth” before the Federal Government looks at revamping the TGA. Our first of two scheduled submissions is included here.
It has been sent primarily to The Hon Mark Butler in his capacity as Parliamentary Secretary for Health.

Dear Mr Butler,
Australian Skeptics: Submission on the Position Paper on the Promotion of Therapeutic Goods
The Victorian Branch of the Australian Skeptics is part of a loose confederation of groups across Australia that investigates and debates pseudo-scientific and paranormal claims from a responsible scientific viewpoint. The Australian Skeptics publish a quarterly magazine entitled The Skeptic and host an annual national convention which includes prominent scientists, researchers and authors amongst the keynote speakers.
