The case against a GP who has not worked for two years after being suspended under emergency powers for allegedly posting tirades against LGBQTI+ people and abortion doctors will apparently go ahead next year.

Dr Jereth Kok has always denied any wrongdoing, claiming that the Medical Board of Australia had misconstrued some of his comments and that his conduct posed no threat to patient safety.
