Gave all the spare cssh to multinationals receiving jobkeeper when they didn't need it so nothing left for the beleaguered medical sector. Disgraceful.

So, to recap: 1.All states told to “open up” by Feds under their National Plan 2. States agree, though modelling shows this will place massive strain on Health to provide proper care. 3.All States request additional Health $ reqd to meet extra demand. 4. Feds say “bugger off”

Signs of libs on way out, u hear on struggle street the resistance is growing , could be a huge landslide

Looks like you will be hospitaling at home folks. Defunding public services is great until you need one.

Health is a state based function and it’s clear that the Qld and WA govs are terrified of opening their border because it will expose the fact that while they dance to the miners tunes, they have barely spent a cent on health and in particular, hospitals and COVID will overwhelm.

If ScoMo funds state hospitals his re-election strategy won't work.
