Apologies for that typo in the notes; I meant to reference you later with regards to your large Doctor Higgins edit. Why do you feel that is appropriate for this page? Has it been discussed?

I'm not sure of any particular guideline about bringing the doctor's identity into it, in the case of the 2020 coronavirus outbreak in Australia. If everyone is fine with it, I don't intend to raise any dispute about it. But I think the outbreak should be of essential focus, and the readability of the page paramount. Extraneous information may not be appropriate and reduce the readability of the many cases and their order. I would support putting quotations on "flue-like symptoms" and probably drop Dr Higgins from this page. I skimmed it twice, but the sources provided don't really support a response or a claim made directly by Dr Higgins. Notmyreddetaccount (talk) 06:45, 8 March 2020 (UTC)
It's not sufficiently sourced. The wiki page says, "the doctor claimed that he did not believe that he fitted the criteria for self-isolation as he did not travel to any high-risk countries and hit back at health authorities for their comments", followed by two citations. And then neither of those provide support that Dr Higgins claimed that. One of the articles says some comments that a colleague made from the clinic defending him. This in your link, where I assume you first got 'appalled' from in your description, was just made by a random GP in the source: "demand this ill-informed health minister apologise immediately for her appalling comments..."
