It is unclear who will take her current portfolios and potentially move into cabinetSenator Ruston, who currently holds the role of Families and Social Services Minister along with Women's Safety Minister, will replace Greg Hunt, who is retiring from politics after the upcoming poll.
"I am so pleased for her. She is a highly qualified and experienced member of our cabinet," Senator Hume said. Senator Ruston was first elected to parliament in 2012 and has held the social services portfolio since 2019. "I think she will be a terrific appointment to the health portfolio, which is so important at a time like this where we are still in the midst of a global pandemic.
Wonderful choice xxxx
Ms Personality a disaster wherever she lands! Vote carefully.
Anne will bring a level of personality to the position to match her complete lack of competence! Similar style to her predecessor!
God help us
They have already cut Medicare just as Labor warned they would. It's not a scare campaign of it's true. Auspol ausvotes
Are you going make cuts to Medicare
Caitlen2310 Jesus wept.
Thanks to the LNP, I couldn't walk for 3 years! I TOTALLY hate the LNP, NeoLiberalism & all members of this present gov. I joined the ALP last year & will work tirelessly to see that these bastards NEVER get back in!
A complete & absolute b****!!!
A vile person. Hey , after a week of hyperbolic coverage of AlboMP did you tidy up the footage of ScottMorrisonMP's train-wreck presser before it went to air today? Is that just part of the service you offer the LNP? Is that in your charter? Is Auntie OK?
Yet the ABC is still giving preferential treatment to Morriscum and trying to get the LNPCorruptionParty re-elected! You are condemning thousands to death and millions to suffering by helping the LNPDeathCult. Stop the bias and DO YOUR JOB PROPERLY. Warn people!
RUSTON will destroy MEDICARE
Say goodbye to Medicare then
Is that supposed to be vote winning? auspol
It’s big ‘if’ , I think.
Crikey, as if aged care hasn't suffered enough punishment under LNP. Now this.
What!! The LNP politician who is intent on destroying Medicare, bit by bit, sneakily, while denying she's following orders. Beware voters! AusPol2022
Good grief! They found the bottom of the barrel, then drilled a fucking hole through it, for ahit like this to even be thought of.
Ohh Naaaaaaa
Where is the story on Morrison’s Gaffe Mr Speakers ? Mr Speaker Mr Speaker Mr Speaker. What has happened to our ABC
LNP shooting themselves in the foot again. Can only assume she followed abbot,Dutton and nats and threatened to burn the house down unless she got her way.
Will she still be a parliamentarian in 2044?
So she will still be a parliamentarian in 2045?
Enough to lose LNP the election
MarieColemanAO I hope SA has an alternative candidate to Ruston
Weren't 'we' just going hammer and tongs at some guy with a red tie for suggesting he may have a portfolio after the election?
Yet another of Scotty’s Pentecostals given access to the halls of power.
Anne Ruston wants to control how pensioners spend their money, not looking forward to her plans when it comes to our health...
The LNP continue to put anti-Medicare members up as Health Minister. This election is clear, a vote for the LNP is a vote to destroy Medicare.
Shows the lack of depth the coalition have if this is the best they can offer
Put this all over South Australia along with a photo of Marshall. Labor might pick up Sturt in the process… auspol
Indue? Medicare? Social security?
🤮🤮🤮🤮
Oh goodie, the baby-eater is now Health Minister (or perhaps, more correctly, Hell Minister).
Albo4PM
Women who are facing life or death breast cancer diagnosis now have to pay $800 for an MRI due to Morrison’s cuts to Medicare. Anne Rushton supported him.
Ridiculous announcement of something that will probably never happen 🙄
I was already going to put the liberals last on my ballot. Thanks for cementing my decision
Christ almighty! We are so doomed if this lot get back in.
If we thought Health System was in trouble now, Ruston will burn it to the ground. The final decimation of Medicare before LNP implement GOP pay as go. auspol This IS the MEDISCARE
LMAO...ScottyFromCorruption at his presser, answering a question in his usual word salad, has Freudian slip: '...as I said, Mr Speaker...sorry... thought I was back in Parliament' ('Damn reporters, broke my train of bullsheizen)
Please tell me this is a joke 🤢
She will destroy Medicare and the PBS auspol
MSMWatchdog2013 Pay particular attention to what she says from 1.15 on about all income management ...
😳😳😳
FFS..kill me now it'd be quicker and less painful then having this POS!!!
MSMWatchdog2013 Why not distribute cyanide tablets to all vulnerable in hospitals now? It’s cheaper and that’s the end goal for this wrecking crew govt. How quickly can we kill off those who use public resources. auspol
Gawd help us Health care in this country will be gutted & left in disarray if Senator Ruston is put in charge
MSMWatchdog2013 Ruston doesn't have any health portfolio experience. Why such a random appointment, reward for speaking up for Morrison?
Terrible news for all of us. She will dismantle what is remaining of Medicare to ensure we have a US style system.
MSMWatchdog2013 Heaven help us. Don’t get sick!
I think the liberals are doing this self destruction on purpose
The most compelling reason to vote for Labor😱😱😱
🤢🤢🤢
I feel sick . 🤢🤕🤢
more suited to minister for undertakers.
didn't think we could do worse than the village idiot but here we are.
ScomoMustGo
I’m sure her cruelty towards welfare and pensioners was part of why Morrison picked her for the health portfolio, pity after the election it will be in opposition
It'd be nice to have a Health Minister whose knowledge and experience isn't limited to 'my mum was a nurse'.
Wow if there wasn’t already 100 reasons to vote labor
Nowadays politicians get crucified for daring to say what everyone else is thinking
He really thinks putting this evil cow up as Health Minister, will help his chances next month?
Oops! What happened to his no political announcements today? So much for his faith driving his life, cant even keep his word!
Rushton has spent her political life attacking Medicare it’s like putting the fox in charge of the hen house.
Weird how this is being used as a pitch
IF
Heaven help us all.
God help us all.,
MarieColemanAO merger of Indue and Medicare cards?
The one person razor gang.
To anyone who works in health care, who requires health care or has a family member in health care with Ms Ruston as the Minister, I send you all the luck I can. You are going to need it. Medicare will be further wound back and this Minister will not care one bit. auspol
Sounds about right AusPol2022 auspol
This is scary. Anne Ruston under fire for saying raising Newstart would be gift to drug dealers.
What's the point of this, supposed to be impressed or swayed? But labor talking about the end of Medicare is ridiculous. You've got enough ammunition against this government. No need to start spreading lies. Better to present policies & stick to those, like improving newstart.
Moaning Myrtle can FRO. Hope she loses her seat.
The pearl necklace is missing.
We can not afford to let this happen It would be the end of Medicare as we know it!!! NO NO NO
Just think of this quote when u vote
political_alert There goes Medicare
Is the fact that Anne Ruston has been 'named' as the next Health Minister (should LNP win) supposed to be some kind of positive? This MP has shown how little she cares about people and their problems. Terrible appointment
Medicare watch out
Another great reason to vote Morrison out.
JFC
Yes well Mengele did wonders for medical science when he was Auschwitz, so hope for AR yet
We're cactus if that happens. She's heartless
Of course she is going to be Health Minister; I’d expect no less of this useless government. ausvotes AlboForPM
A sick in the head politician as a Health Minister! FMD
That'd be nice* *if you like vulnerable people suffering, and an end to Medicare.
Nasty piece of work
God help us all with old 'days of wine and roses' as health minister. She definitely sail HMAS Medicare into an iceberg and park it next to Shackleton's Endurance.
Well that fills me with confidence.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣if she doesn’t kill you Colbert will
Disasterous This evil woman will have us all scrambling desperately to see a Dr after waiting months just for a checkup & paying hundreds for basic XRays etc She will finish off Greg Hunts endeavour to kill Medicare. Anne_Ruston GregHuntMP ScottMorrisonMP AlboForPM
Can the PM explain how AR’s previous experience out of Senate as a rose grower makes her the ideal Health minister
Disgusting the reward you get for ruining The National Redress Scheme for Child Sexual Abuse LNPCorruptionParty LNPliarsCrooksThieves VoteThemAllOut2022
But the patients will waste my help on drugs!
HahHaahahhahhahhahahhahahahahahah. JFC
😱
Bit presumptuous? auspol
hopeless ! He has nobody half competent in his team
No thanks. She has no compassion, empathy nor care.
She'll be Minister for Dismantlement of Medicare.
The crummiest crumb maiden, worse than Ghunt
There goes medicare if they get back in.
Oh no what secret nasty stuff does ScatMorrison know about her that we don’t?
her eyes scream 'narcissistic and self centred' which equals no empathy or compassion , a perfect choice for morrison.
Fauziah Ibrahim should not be hosting this morning. But this really does represent the standards of ABC. No longer an unbiased view, all we get is a presenter who blatantly illustrated her side of politics with her troll lists 🤬
What's her qualifications? Or is that a question only for Labor?
What are her ugly prejudices that are waiting to be inflicted on some marginalised group?
Scoop May 22nd 2022 Newly minted Shadow Heath Minister Anne Rushton resigns before the impending ALP ICAC.
Ffs worst then Greg hunt
Could they find a less compassionate person?
Cold Hard Hopeless Health Minister for you? Vote LNP if you dare.
There’s yet another reason not to re-elect them, then. As if we needed any more…
It's voting time federally in May... Vote them out! The Morrison govt. have done enough damage to this country and its people. VOTE THEM OUT!
This is great news. Wishing Anne Ruston all the very best. *fingers crossed*
Is this person the best on offer from LNP for Health Portfolio. Heaven help this Country.
On Easter Sunday....all I can say is God please save us from the LNP
Morriscum and Entire Corruption Party aka LNP
If we needed another reason to vote out the LNP, here it is.
Because there's no requirement for a Federal Funeral Director
Say goodbye to 'care' in Medicare.
Ruston is an absolute failure. There could not be a worse person to be Health Minister. What a shocker.
Reason 365 not to vote Liberal nor National
