Dear Members
I was saddened to read the recent Press Release regarding the College’s position on Children In Detention. In my 25 plus years as a member and once President of AICA and as a 7 year board member and 2010 APIC President alignment of a professional body with any non-infection prevention political issue appears unprecedented.
Regardless of where members stand personally on this contentious issue it is arrogant and perhaps even incorrect for the President to assume unilateral support of his position by all members.
Further, whilst the AMA acts as the primary industrial relations agency for medical practitioners and as such rightly has an opinion on this issue the College purpose as stated in its Constitution makes no mention of political commentary as a goal.
Informally, I have canvassed views from at least two other senior College members who are offended by the College’s action. I would request that in future the Executive and College leadership do not assume members’ positions on non infection prevention matters and instead focus solely on working within the scope of the Constitution representing members well on infection prevention matters.

Thanks Cath
I support your stance. I greatly appreciate the work done by the college but we should remain apolitical.
There are many other platforms and discussion forums for any members wishing to express a political viewpoint.
I have also emailed the college directly which others may also wish to do. admin@acipc.org.auRobyn

I agree with Cath. The function of the College must remain setting standards for training, discussing infection control research and practices and related issues only.

Also without Prejudice.
Dear members,
It is a pity Cathryn Murphy believes humanity works on a dichotomy.
That is, humanitarian issues such as are occurring on our watch as nurses and leaders only deserve comment when an infection is involved.The issue of Children in detention in Australia or in centres managed and paid for by Australian dollars must never be relegated to politics alone. Matters of this kind go beyond the issue of politics and define us by diminishing our humanity when we are silent.
Thankfully, Professor Shaban has spoken out where perhaps others may have not. I support his comments and am grateful we, as an college , are finally making certain views known.
Is it possible those who are complaining about the recent ACIPC media release are being motivated to examine their own prejudice?In the words of Martin Luther King
“Injustice for one is injustice for all.”

Dear Members
I was saddened to read the recent Press Release regarding the College’s position on Children In Detention. In my 25 plus years as a member and once President of AICA and as a 7 year board member and 2010 APIC President alignment of a professional body with any non-infection prevention political issue appears unprecedented.
Regardless of where members stand personally on this contentious issue it is arrogant and perhaps even incorrect for the President to assume unilateral support of his position by all members.
Further, whilst the AMA acts as the primary industrial relations agency for medical practitioners and as such rightly has an opinion on this issue the College purpose as stated in its Constitution makes no mention of political commentary as a goal.
Informally, I have canvassed views from at least two other senior College members who are offended by the College’s action. I would request that in future the Executive and College leadership do not assume members’ positions on non infection prevention matters and instead focus solely on working within the scope of the Constitution representing members well on infection prevention matters.
