“These Reforms are effective 1 April 2019.

Removal of selected Natural Therapies
From 1 April 2019, health funds are no longer permitted to pay benefits for selected Natural Therapies as part of a complying health insurance policy. This change is a result of a review conducted by the Government that found there is no clear evidence demonstrating the clinical effectiveness of the therapies being removed.
The affected Natural Therapies are:
• Western Herbalism
• Naturopathy
• Shiatsu
• Bowen Therapy
• Iridology
• Homeopathy
• Yoga
• Pilates”

I would call that progress

Though why yoga is/was to be considered a therapy or even iridology which is simply a doubtful diagnosis methodology leaves me bewildered.. Meanwhile Mrs rb can get Tai Chi lessons for free.

Oh great – This will be interpreted as an endorsement of the stuff they’ve left in.

FFS…

Possibly if they are aware of the western influenced images of Jebus as a Californian hippy. Both religions accept his existence, King of the Jews remember and a prophet to the beardy wierdies.

True I wonder if you are allowed to see an image of Mohamed in your toasted sandwich or would you get death threats if it was published

Possibly, some of them are pretty touchy about images, a published and publicised image of Mo on a dogs arse would definitely lead to the religion of peace going fully mentalist.

• True I wonder if you are allowed to see an image of Mohamed in your toasted sandwich or would you get death threats if it was published

But you’re not allowed to show images of him so no one knows what he looks like. So, if he appeared in your toast it would just be some random guy…
