not a problem apparently .Our Prime Minister Tony Abbott has told us via fairfax radio
Prime Minister Tony Abbott says "This is a complete beat-up by the ABC and some of the Fairfax papers,"
Abbott says criticism over axing of Immigration Health Advisory Group is 'complete beat-up'
Adjunct Associate Professor Amanda Gordon, the Australian Psychological Society's representative to IHAG, says the Government appears to have been planning for some time to disband the group.
She says recent meetings have been cancelled and subgroups have already been abolished.
"We are very concerned that people's mental health needs will be completely unattended to and no one will look after them," she said.
"In fact they are being only cared for in terms of security and that they are individuals human beings who are going to be pawns to Government policy."

Is he accusing Associate Professor Amamda Gordon and Professor Louise Newman of not being professional and/or being dishonest ?
This is just bad timing I suppose ?
