In an address to the National Press Club on 30 September 1993, acknowledging the AMA’s reputation for conservatism, he said he would not “lead the AMA safely”, but believed doctors should “lead the way in showing that national progress can be made by placing the welfare and consideration of other human beings ahead of their own,” asserting their obligation to speak out on issues for the public good. In the address, he advocated gay law reform, greater concern for the environment, more attention to Aboriginal and unemployed health, and greater co-operation between the medical profession and politicians of all sides to build a better health system. In November, he told a national Aboriginal conference in Sydney that he was ashamed of the medical profession’s track record on Aboriginal health, arguing that “doctors need to ask themselves how a person can be well when they’ve been denied their land, their hunting grounds, their citizenship and freedom and even their own children. Of course Aboriginal people’s health has suffered when you look at this litany of misery”. As president, while personally opposing euthanasia, he supported the right of doctors to withdraw treatment from consenting critically ill patients, and supported euthanasia campaigner Philip Nitschke’s case against the Royal Darwin Hospital.
