Health is just another area which resembles such destruction.
In July, 2005, I was hospitalised at Rockhampton Base Hospital where I learnt some things about funding. I heard Doctors discussing about the tests they needed to do but could not do because they would be denied for funding. Hospitals are only allowed to spend so much money which is limited, so patients forego examinations needed for diagnosis and treatment.
The health of people is put 'at risk' so politicians can spend it on luxury train trips. Yes, such as the pretty silver train that leaves Rockhampton train station which is frequently booked by the Beattie Government who takes private train trips, looks at the pretty scenery and eat on wonderful foods.
Wouldn't the money be spent on a silver bullet?
