In Our Blood on ABC – Facing the daunting prospect of a second wave of infections, David and Jeremy engage journalist and trusted public figure, Caroline McGarvie, to spearhead the campaign to raise public awareness.
Jeremy manages to convince the Government to increase the Department’s funding, but it’s dependent on infection rates falling – which is not happening overseas, and is unlikely to occur in Australia either.
David thinks the government approach is all wrong, instead believes that they need to terrify people into paying attention, not hold their hands. This controversial tactic leads to the creation of a genuinely shocking television advertisement, which gets everyone in Australia, and beyond, talking.
Meanwhile, Deb, Tim, Michelle and gay community activist groups finally get an office and become legitimate. Funded by Federal and State money, they will be able to keep fighting and reach more people and save lives.
