The proposed changes to the Code of Conduct denies doctors the freedom of speech and conscience

This trend is part of a much wider engineering of social values that is happening right across the board. People want to live in Australia because our values make the country what it is. If this erosion continues not even our children and grandchildren will have a secure life, and we will no longer be a country of desirability.

It is important to maintain the right of doctors to speak as their clinical judgement and conscience s dictate. Governments which have sought to silence doctors have inevitably been those which perpetrate human rights abuses

Silencing the independent expertise of a medical professional on "cultural" grounds help a person to make a difficult but properly informed decision? Ideology of this kind is an infection in medical practice that must be treated with more serious care.

We need to protect and maintain at all costs the good medical practice that we have developed and practice here in Australia and safe guard the medical board code of conduct.

Please reconsider the proposed changes to the Code of Conduct. This is a backward move that can only bring dangerous, negative effects on patients and health practitioners.

Doctors need to practice good medicine as well as treat disorders or medical problems accordingly, and not according to what is culturally promoted as acceptable or the new norm. Do not force doctors to conform to what is malpractice through the ages.

I am against the proposed changes to the Medial Board of Australia's Code of Conduct, as I am on the firm belief this will endanger lives.

Having considered the proposed changes to the Code of Conduct I strongly support the right of doctors to practice freely in the best interest of their patients without the possible threat of legal action. Therefore I support Option 1 - Retain the Status Quo

We need our professions to be allowed to operate in a profession manner un-hindered by ideologies and belief systems such as gender fluidity and radical marxism. A doctor should be empowered to act according to his prefeesion understanding and a doctor should be permitted to act or not to act according to his or her own beliefs and conscience. A doctor should act as a profession not enslaved to other peoples ideologies. A doctor should be able to not perform his or her duties if that action clashes with their own professional pinion or religion or ideological belief. A doctor should be amble retract ( stating reasons) services without fear of being attacked by his own professional colleagues or members of the public.

The medical Code of Conduct should not stifle discussions on best practice by doctors, nor create unethical situations for them.

Wording of the 2008 version of the Code is ethically sound and should not be changed.

Doctors must have freedom of speech too! We do not want a police state.

How much further must we go down the road of political correctness, destroying the valuable and important gains in medicine over centuries, and leaving our most precisou resource - people, at the mercy of ignorance, sorcery, soul and body destroying philosophies and malice.

The Medical Board Code of Conduct needs to remain as is without any changes because changing it will absolutely put people's lives in danger.

Commitment and responsibility for life and oaths are very serious.

I think the existing code of conduct is strong and sufficient, and that while minor changes may be warranted from time to time, the currently proposed changes are too radical and should be rejected.
