... that a narrow-minded, economic rationalist, climate-sceptic, church-going, extremist bigot weasel like Tony Abbott can come anywhere near the corridors of power in this country. That's the stuff of nightmares.
While the Federal Government looks at ways to improve our public health system, Abbott's answer is to hand it over lock, stock and barrel to the private sector... what he counter-intuitively calls 'handing it back to the people'!!
Whose people?? The right-wing rationalists who put a monetary value on every element of our lives, including our children's education and our health?? The people who will make a great health service available to all.... who can afford to pay for it??
We don't want or need the American solution to a health system. Healthcare must stay out of private hands; only through Government management can we ever hope to provide a fair and equal service for all citizens.
And while we're waiting for that day, we can only hope that Abbott and his ilk are long retired before the next change of Government.

Its even scarier now mate... cant believe it either
ReplyDelete12 months ago, I would *never* have believed that Abbott could get to where he is now - within reach of power. If we're not careful, it will be like 2004, when Howard unexpectedly found himself in control of the Senate, and pulled WorkChoices out of his ar$e. Abbott's minders have cleverly ensured that he hasn't had a chance to say much about his real beliefs during the campaign, which might scare off more people, but we'd all better beware if he actually wins.
