Biography

Jason Woodforth was born in Brisbane on 27 November 1970.[1] He was educated at Craigslea and Brisbane State High Schools.[4] He runs a bodybuilding supplements business, Bodyzone sports supplements,[5] and is managing director of supplement importing company International Brands Direct.[6] He also serves as the Australian vice president and Queensland president of the International Natural Bodybuilding Association.[7] He has won a 'promoter's contest' in bodybuilding held by the INBA.[8]

Conversation

Woodforth was quoted by the Courier Mail[9] as being in support of ceasing fluoridation of the Queensland water supply. This was at odds with Woodforth's maiden speech, where he was concerned by rising health care costs in Australia.[10] He has been disciplined by prominent Queensland LNP member and former dentist John-Paul Langbroek for these comments, as well as receiving a critical editorial from the Courier Mail. Andrew Wong of the Australian Dental Association agreed with ABC AM interviewer Annie Guest that the LNP was possibly appeasing an "uninformed minority".[11] In this interview, Woodforth avoided answering questions regarding his lack of formal education he had in health care, by stating "What I say to people is you actually don't need letters after your name to work out what's right and what's wrong".
