  1. Both major parties seem like twats but on this point, why didn’t they introduce this earlier, like when they were in power?

  2. “But the opposition has slammed it, calling it a desperate policy announcement”
    Probably true.
    But compared to their current no-policy-announcement approach, people in glass houses….

    Where are they going to find GPs willing to bulk bill? Are they going to subsidise consults?

    How about they change 19ab rules to allow foreign trained to work in the city as long as they bulk bill only.

  4. Thought this bot account was supposed to be post limited already. Already had this story posted didn’t we?

    Crisafulli: “I don’t see what the problem is. I can see a doctor just fine, and it’s taxpayer funded!”

  6. Crisafulli doesn’t GAF at this point. He knows the election is in the bag no matter what they say. 

    But it’s a bad look to already be defaulting to “it’s not my job”.

    Do we have a lack of clinics or a lack of GP’s?

    If it’s GP’s then unlimited clinics will make zero difference.

    It’s frustrating how little ideas the LNP have. It’s also annoying how Labor are cosplaying like a party that hasn’t been in power for 12 years and could have done something.

    Downvote me 1 William Street Labor kids!

  8. “You see the thing about that is… Adani, Anglo American & BHP needs that money more so line goes up.”

    Sportsbet is paying $8 for a Labor win.
    LNP is $1.05. 

    FML. 

  9. Unfortunately the “Ming Vase” approach to changing a government that isn’t doing well in the polls has worked in other elections. Labor did it to Morrison, and Starmer did it to Sunak.

    Just by being a quiet and alternative option is enough to grab power and not spooking the population with any policy ideas.

    The problem as Alabanese and Starmer are finding out is that by not promising any real change has made proposing and implementing change politically problematic as people didn’t vote them in because they wanted reform, just wanted to vote the old group out.

    It’s sad but I can see the LNPs strategy of being quiet working for them.

  10. getting a bit dangerous for Crisafulli with this… “just do nothing” strategy

    he’s seen the polls early on and just tried to be out of the media the whole time

    Who exactly is responsible for it if the state government isn’t…??? Liberal party really are just shocking tbh. Unless you’re already in the ivory tower you’re fucked!!

    EDIT: Good governments work with what they can control. Well with say crime, for example mate, you can’t control that. So does that make your plan and your potential government a shit one??
