In response to a large increase in pertussis cases during a 2008/09 outbreak, the organization focused efforts on countering information from Meryl Dorey's Australian Vaccination Network. This included supporting a complaint lodged by a private individual, Ken McLeod, against the organization with the New South Wales Health Care Complaints Commission and running a national ad (funded by Dick Smith) in The Australian.

Famous quotes containing the words public and/or action:
“The public seldom forgive twice.”
—Johann Kaspar Lavater (1741–1801)
“I feel like a white granular mass of amorphous crystals—my formula appears to be isomeric with Spasmotoxin. My aurochloride precipitates into beautiful prismatic needles. My Platinochloride develops octohedron crystals,—with a fine blue florescence. My physiological action is not indifferent. One millionth of a grain injected under the skin of a frog produced instantaneous death accompanied by an orange blossom odor.”
—Lafcadio Hearn (1850–1904)
