    Talkback Radio ABC 774 Melbourne Drive - 05/10/2006 - 03:55 PM Lindy Burns Burns claims people with high blood pressure do not like going to the doctor because of fears of lectures over high readings. Burns claims researchers have found mercury based equipment may provide incorrect readings. Professor Stephen Harrap claims GPs have not been making errors, but old mercury machines can be hard to read accurately. Professor Harrap explains how digital equipment works. Harrap claims most GPs do not use digital equipment yet, but they should because mercury is toxic and there is a move to replace mercury- based machines. Professor Harrap claims modern machines can be available for home measurement. Interviewees: Professor Stephen Harrap, President, High Blood Pressure Research Council of Australia Duration: 3:41 Audience: 61,000 ABC North Queensland Late Afternoons - 05/10/2006 - 05:48 PM Nicole Dyer The mercury-based equipment that is currently used by doctors to take blood pressure reading could be replaced by digital technology. The President of the High Blood Pressure Research Council, Professor Stephen Harrap explains. He said the mercury method is both time and labour intensive, while the digital method involves simply pushing a button and is much more reliable. He said mercury is also poisonous. He said the High Blood Pressure Research Council will announce tomorrow at a meeting of the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners in Brisbane an offer of one of these machines free to any GP in Australia who is interested. Interviewees: Stephen Harrap, President, High Blood Pressure Research Council of Australia PPR Stationery.Dot 1 Duration: 4:05 Audience: 1500 ABC 612 Brisbane Mornings - 06/10/2006 - 10:21 AM Madonna King There are plans today to strengthen the monitoring of blood pressure patients with some questions being asked about the equipment currently used to take blood pressure readings.

  • Unconventional Gas, Discursive Framing And
    Silences in the boom: coal seam gas, neoliberalizing discourse, and the future of regional Australia Alexandra Mercer Kim de Rijke Wolfram Dressler University of Queensland, Australia1 University of Melbourne, Australia Abstract In high-stakes resource use struggles currently playing out across the world, different beliefs about economics and "growth-first" regional development underpin decisions and dynamics that have far-reaching consequences. Neoliberalizing political economies rely on the maintenance of particular beliefs associated with these themes, and work to delegitimize and silence alternatives. Thus understanding the beliefs of actors concerning these themes, especially with respect to neoliberal ideas, is key to understanding these socio- political struggles. This article uses a combination of literature review, critical discourse analysis and selected fieldwork data to explore the recent debate about coal seam gas (CSG) in Eastern Australia. In particular, it examines the ideas that underlie texts produced by CSG production companies, the Queensland Government, and Lock the Gate (a key group opposed to rapid CSG industry expansion). The analysis indicates that with respect to the above themes, Lock the Gate expresses their opposition to CSG through perspectives that mostly depart from those with a key role in maintaining neoliberalizing political economies. In contrast, the Queensland government and CSG companies, despite each encompassing significant internal diversity, have expressed relatively similar and consistent positions,
