My question is to the Prime Minister. The Premier of New South Wales has said of the Prime Minister's $80 billion cuts to hospitals and schools:

The cuts have an immediate impact … what we are seeing in the next 12 months is hundreds and hundreds of hospital beds … impacted.

If the Premier of New South Wales knows the pain that the government's cuts will cause, why is the Prime Minister refusing to admit the damage he is inflicting?
