huffnpuff,

Cover-up is big buness in Government. However, perhaps your comment deserves its own threat.

I am targetting Abbott to make PET scans [and other high technologies] avalable to the People at a reasonable price and appropriate locations. I would like to a thousand peole let down by the Health System outside Abbott's Manly Offuce just a few days before the Election.

Even if you are a Liberal voter and feel your employee/ representative has failed - sack him. Keep him? Next time, it might a member of your's, requiring inaccesible care. Ostracizism is not party political. It peole power over plitics. Abbott must go.

StG,

I have just emailed the NSW police to establish the protocols to hold a 1,000 to 2,000 person rally outside Tony Abbott's Manly Office a week before the election. My initial thought is for the PET scanners and not be fragments but see no reason his failings in other should be highlighted too.

It seems the Hon. Tony Abbott should have addressed this PET matter long ago and given a clear indication of the Government's position in end July 2007. He hasn't:

Some pressure before the Election might elicit some response from the Minister. People's lives are now at risk, while Mr Abbott procrastinates, procrastinates and procrastinates. The need is great, the technology is known in a positive light; yet, the Minister remains silent.

PET Scanners: we need more units. I think I am correct in saying Tasmania doesn't have any PET Scanners. Moreover, the cost to an individual for a scan is $800, if privately funded. $200 under Medicare would see more reasonable and even less for the poor.

Liberal, Labor or smaller some party "members" who can't do their job should go. Ostracize Abbott. Historically, I would have said the same for [ALP] Dawkins over Education.

Democracy is meant to be moderated by The People over the parties.

Funding approaches towards MRIs and PET scanners as ill managed by about continue to be newsworthy:
