Libz Back Benson's Beach Bordello

Libertarianz health deregulation spokesman Dr Richard McGrath says he can understand why his medical colleague, former Cooper’s Beach GP Neil Benson, has chosen to set up a brothel in what used to be his medical rooms.

“Doctors have had a gutsful of socialised medicine and many, like Neil Benson, are voting with their feet,” said Dr McGrath. “The average age of general practitioners is increasing, there are virtually no GP-obstetricians remaining, and some areas of the country have no local GP at all.”

“Unfortunately I think Dr Benson will find running a brothel involves battling government rules, regulations and red tape in the same way that doctors are tormented by the Medical Council and other bureaucrats,” he added. “Despite this, I wish Dr Benson every success in his new venture.”
