Exclusive: email from government directs attendees at conference on disease to stay quiet on cause-effect link.

As Australia’s physical and mental health crisis was declared “catastrophic” on Tuesday, New South Wales doctors attending a conference on the causes of disease were not allowed to discuss the link between disease and its symptoms.

The NSW Deputy Premier, John Barilaro, backed the move: “It’s an absolute disgrace to be linking the causes and effects of disease when we have lost lives to these effects.”

“For any bloody greenie or lefty out there who wants to talk about the causes of disease... when communities in the next 48 hours might lose more lives, if this is the time people want to talk about underlying causes to limit the ravaging effects of disease in the future, they are a bloody disgrace.’’
