I have just
heard from a sympathetic Health journalist here at the
Townsville Bulletin that things did not go great at the visit at the hospital today from Beattie & Health minister. Vicki (journo) called me this morning and asked if I would like any ? asked of topics brought up at the press conference. (I was not aware that they were coming till a couple of hours before) So I gave her a couple & she went with "when will Townsville get money for a bc?" HM said "I have not seen any plans yet but when I do I will give them my full attention." He has had the plans for weeks. Ok that was not the bit that has me fuming. Here it is wait for it. They are giving The Townsville hospital $3.5 million for new beds as it runs at full capacity at least 90% of the time. They are giving Dairy Farmers stadium the home of the Cowboys football team that gets capacity crowds 5 times a year, wait for it, $5 million for 4000 extra seats. My jaw is on the floor. I dont know what else to say. Fuming Philippa Scott
