HEALTH authorities want the power to detain people for up to three months if they refuse testing or treatment for infectious diseases.

Under draft legislation proposed by the State Government, someone with swine flu, measles or meningococcal disease could be forcibly held, examined and treated.

It is one of several wide-ranging powers sought to protect the public.

The Public Health Bill also would, for the first time, give authorities the power to override parents who refused treatment for their children with infectious conditions.

Other diseases that could be controlled include AIDS, polio, rabies, salmonella and cholera.

The tougher enforcement powers would come with a substantial increase in fines - up from $60,000 to $1 million and 10 years' jail - and relate to any serious risk caused to public health. SA Health public health director Kevin Buckett said the new legislation would give authorities wider powers to act more quickly.

"There's nowhere on Earth that is more than 36 hours from anywhere else and where people go, bugs can go," he said yesterday.

"We have to have legislation that can respond in that sort of time.

"The idea would be that we get them out of circulation, where they can't infect other people." Dr Buckett said there were many reasons people refused treatment, including mental health issues, language barriers and even malicious behaviour.

Non-communicable diseases, such as cancer and diabetes, could also be declared, allowing the Government to introduce codes of practice for certain industries or the community. Opposition health spokesman Duncan McFetridge said he supported powers to protect the public from infectious diseases but feared parts of the Bill - to be debated next year - would allow the Government to control people with chronic conditions.

"It's bordering on nanny-state legislation," he said. "It's understandable but how far do we go?"

Australian Medical Associat- ion state president Andrew Lavender said he welcomed most of the changes. as important to protect the public.

    Look at him, thinks he knows everything & talks about Ft. Hood (and before the speech he was laughing to some man who whispered something to him) but doesn't give a shit about the riots going on in the USA.. (This fucker doesn't give a shit about Freedom Of Speech)

  • These kind of government stand over tactics make me SICK TO THE BONE! Nobody has a right to judge my mentality and lock me up unless I have attacked someone. I'm SICK and tired I'm SICK to the stomach so bring it the FUCK on powers that be I am unafraid! I am very SICK, SICK of people controlling my life for some GREATER GOOD that cannot exist with lies and without freedom. FUCK YOUR NWO. If there is no freedom and if liberty is hidden away, then there will be no world let alone order!

  • Sadly,it seems that no longer will people become independent as they get older,our government wants control from cradle to grave.When will the masses awaken???

  • Sick people should not be in government !

  • notice there is little of this detail being talked about on the house floor this weekend huh? stupid liberals will vote this in

  • If it wasn't for the additives and pollutive chemicals which have absolutley no point beyond control of people and population (aspartame has a natural, harmless replacement, thre are better places to put fluoride than toothpaste and water), and of course, vaccines, people wouldn't get sick nearly as much. Stuff your fear mongering back where it belongs.

  • Sick ppl should not be in prison, they should be in hospitals.

  • H O T E L F E M A

    For the opening of Fema camps Many people will check in but check out only in coffins population controls and reductions are various methods by the elite inorder to bring fruition their long awaited utopia, a One World Government, and to usher in the coming of their world leader....the Big Bohemian Owl in the flesh, the Antichrist. This is all due to Bible Prophecy and by Gods' judgements and oprdainments. You're only hope is in Jesus Christ.

  • Too fuzzy! & what terrific use of $billions of our hard earned taxmoney - to subsidize these unaccountable, alphabet soup bureaucracies. So they can "look out for our best interests" & protect us from evil. Boy, I feel "healthier" already!

    Granting drug companies zero liability & complete immunity from prosecution is all part of the oligarchs "Freedom Agenda" (tm) so we can sleep better at night knowing we have a loving government in power that cares about us! Can you feel the 'CHANGE' & HOPE?

  • I would disagree,not every body is in it,for them selves!

  • at least it will be far away from the nuclear fallout in the northern hemishpere
