Lyne Electorate: Port Macquarie Base Hospital
Kevin Rudd Griffith, Australian Labor Party, Prime Minister

He is saying that investing in our hospitals is not spending money wisely. That is exactly what the shadow Treasurer is saying. I say this to the member for Lyne: in contrast to those who preceded him in the seat which he represents in this parliament, he has raised an important matter concerning the hospital in his electorate, and, in terms of the submission which he has provided to the Health and Hospitals Fund, which those opposite have opposed, I will come back to him on the status of the submission. I conclude by saying that those opposite (a) opposed the fund and (b) opposed the single largest Australian healthcare agreement signed between the Commonwealth government and the states. Once again, their hypocrisy is on full display.
