The Writer has -

*           summarised the Forward, Exec Summary, Introduction and Summary And Conclusion of THE COST OF INACTION ON THE SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH REPORT NO. 2/2012.

.

(iii)       Social Inclusion agendas should adopt a “health in all policies” approach to require decisions of government to consider long-term health impacts.

However, he considers that there is a lot of optimistic 'blue sky' in the financial forecasts for 'Gains in employment', 'Increase in annual earnings', 'Reduction in income and welfare support' and 'Savings to the health system'.

The below two recent ABC1  7:30 reports highlight that millions of dollars of taxpayers monies to provide some of the broad range of “health in all policies” have been very poorly expended in seeking to assist socio-economically disadvantaged indigenous Australians in the town of Toomelah, on the NSW and Queensland border:

Re 2. above, the website "Australian database of indigenous violence" accesses a Database which provides newspaper articles concerning hundreds of examples of the types of violence that Mal Brough is "angry" that Australians are not outraged over, understandably when one considers the significant community outrage over cruelty in cattle slaughter in Indonesia last year.  As examples of Mr. Brough's outrage, Default Page includes:

Patently, tackling socio-economic inequalities by Government 'hand-outs' is highly cost-ineffective.  People invariably value something more if they have earned it, rather than been given it.  Hence, 'providing the tools under a supervised and monitored competitive social environment'  to enable disadvantaged to aspire to better themselves is advantageous when opening the 'public purse', particularly as casual empiricism suggests that many socially disadvantaged become 'Welfare Dependant' from 'hand-outs'.

Five years ago the Writer retired from a 37 year career with Commonwealth Bank.  His final 18 years were involved in structuring, financing, administering financing documents for very large infrastructure projects on behalf of syndicates of 'Lender Banks' and 'Bondholders' which often involved JVs, SPVs - fundamental to PPPs.  Construction of Sydney Harbour Tunnel is one such 'project finance' transaction which started with an Information Memorandum and ended with a profitable vehicle tunnel which alleviates traffic congestion on Sydney Harbour Bridge by generating tolls to repay its lenders.  His private life/former work life 'CV' is at Business Plan Developer. 

Upon retiring at 55, with no need for additional income, the Writer commenced applying his infrastructure skills by R&D'ing to write Two National Preventive Health Research Programmes, because, to date, all Australia's state and federal health departments do for what are often referred to as Wellness Programmes is to -

A)        run expensive advertising campaigns telling you -

            i)         not to eat too much;

            ii)        not to eat fatty foods;

            iii)       not to smoke cigarettes; or

            iv)       not to over indulge in recreational drugs; and

B)        believe that it is too difficult to enthuse people to change their Lifestyle Behaviour - the Writer has assisted well over 100 Australians, several initially Overweight with some Obese, to the joys of regular, rigorous recreational exercise.  He regularly exercises with Resolute Diehards several of whom have experienced major illness or accidents which has strengthened their resolve.  He maintains Muggaccinos.com and KOMpm.com for endurance cyclists.  He cycles approx. 175km each week and swims about 4km each week.

Being a retired infrastructure banker, his focus is on Social Infrastructure Lifestyle Programmes that expend x to return a positive multiple of x, or return x + y, not return less than x.  Hence, his business plans go into significant detail to ‘nail down’ all the inputs, to avoid confusion and enable costings and estimate ROCE.   Re B) above, from his own experience in administering Muggaccinos.com he knows that a 'carrot approach'  is materially cheaper/more effective, than a 'stick approach' deployed in A) above.

He initially submitted his YELP Holistic Hub First Business Plan to Professor Warwick Anderson, CEO, NHMRC of Australia on 12 Nov 2007.  Professor Anderson's response dated 13th Dec 2007 suggested he approach NSW Health and finished with "I trust this information is helpful and I wish you well in your endeavours."

One of the 7 member Preventive Health Taskforce, Shaun Larkin's e-mail to Business Plan Developer of 31 July 2008 5:18 PM included -

"Input and content such as you have provided is very much appreciated by me in my role as a member of the National Preventive Health Taskforce.  I suggest you forward a copy of the information provided to Peter Morris at the Department of Health and Ageing."

The Chair of Taskforce's letter to the Business Plan Developer dated 2 April 2009 noted "Best wishes for continued development of the programme." 

Alas, the National Preventive Health Taskforce is more intent on plain paper packaging of cigarettes and increasing taxes on fast-food, than a national Youthful Exuberance Lifestyle Programme that will enable Interested Adults to Materially Alter Lifestyle (under the Supervision of a Recreational Exercise Consultant) by tapping into the skills they had previously learnt during their Youthful Exuberance Growth Phase by joining a Local District Recreational Exercise Group for one of 15 Recreational Exercise Activities, many in the great outdoors, that permeates a Local Community Common Bond Support Group which is Fun & Addictive.

2.         Bohemian Teenagers Arts Assistance Programme would engage Social Capital to achieve Social Inclusion by improving the Social Determinants Of Health of 6,200 Interested Marginalised Teenagers from the Selected 20 of the Lowest Socio-Economic Regions In Australia With A Population >1,500
