yes - my close family member works in an emergency department at a big public hospital. She knows first hand the incompetence of Labor and their running and non-funding of hospitals!
And I know many many people who could well afford private health insurance - but choose not to have it just to save money -and subsequently bludge on the public system instead - despite the fact that they are, relatively, extremely well off!
And Chinagirl - dont worry - Nicola won in the "nastiness - sneering" department - putting the boots into Abbott with a vengeance just now for his lateness. How b+++dy ungracious! Couldn't help herself!
(He had to catch a plane from Melbourne and the delay was indavertent!)
As I have just said in a previous post - these incumbents have a country to run as well!!
