"Health Minister Nicola Roxon today announced a $96 million upgrade of the Port Macquarie Base Hospital and said the investment would go towards more beds and services.
She said the government had committed to fund the upgrade as part of its agreement with Mr Oakeshott."
How is this remotely legitimate? One thing to negotiate on points of policy (eg carbon tax, mining tax, pokies limits etc). But this is just admitting to using $96M of tax payer funds to buy a vote. $96M being the tip of the iceberg.
They are so far removed from the real world they can't even see there is anything shameful.
