thats what 10 years of LNP leads to , they spent trillions and we got nothing.

Never mind just South Australia!

This is a developed 21st century country we live in, isnt it? With a 19th century health system? Where exactly has our tax money gone.

Health First and Staying Safe!

How many people died of COVID19 in Australia today? Do ABC journalists even bother to check anymore? Do they even care?

It’s the last liberal party’s fault,they had one term and the state went backwards,believe that and pigs fly backwards.

LiberalAus underfunding is now coming home to roost

While fixing the hospital system, tell people not to touch footballs.

where is PMalinauskasMP ? He promised to get this under control. He has a history of closing hospitals not fixing them. Justsaying SAParli SoldALemon

Whinge master Picton will blame others. Labor closed Repat. Labor lied about Flinders to Boothby. No hospital for six years. Lies.

Arrogant Pete will fix it with stunts.

Its an operating model the state and federal LiberalPartys to ensure average hard working people are fucked over by the lack of funding in the healthcare system, Federally its Medicare & states fuck over the system, from DR's, ambos, and Hospitals,Libs hate the healthcare system

ABC please do better with headlines. We have 50 people dying everyday Australia wide due to COVID. Health systems are failing in every state, or is this just a dig at Labor in SA.

Given 'The Pfizer Report' reveals that the CFR of their vaxx's is up to 370 times more deadly than the actual Virus..... All I can say is, Good Luck.😬🤞

..and still Governments couldn't care less and continue to just let covid rip.

Calling it out early won’t absolve people from accountability
