Media Stable Managing Director Nic Hayes says Victoria’s health system is an “absolute disaster zone” as Australian Defence Force personnel are called in to drive ambulances.

The Age is reporting the ADF have been called in to help prevent Victoria’s health system from being overwhelmed by a surge in COVID-19 cases.

Mr Hayes pointed out Western Australia and Queensland’s health systems are also struggling despite the fact they are not being swamped with high COVID numbers. “But ambulances in Victoria, I swear, if you’re bringing in the ADF to do anything that is a complete and utter tipping point,” he said. “We shouldn’t be there, we should have a better health system, and particularly for Victorians they should be asking that of their Premier – why don’t we have that?”

Victorian Health Minister fires back over PM's 'shakedown politics' remarkVictorian Health Minister Martin Foley has dismissed Prime Minister Scott Morrison’s 'shakedown politics' remark as the Queensland government continues to demand federal support for their overwhelmed hospital system. It would be nice if the other states did a bit of the heavy lifting here so that all states can get the extra funding they have asked for. Qld is already subsidised by NSW (and WA) thru the GST distribution, and they want more. What have they done with their extra GST funding? Scotty gave billions to multinationals for jobkeeper that they did not need, but refuses extra money for hospitals. Disgraceful
