Kevin Rudd wrong on Tony Abbott's '$1b hospital funding cut'

Prime Minister Kevin Rudd has accused Opposition Leader Tony Abbott of cutting $1 billion in public hospital funding when he was health minister.

Mr Rudd made the claim during Wednesday's leaders' debate in Brisbane, after Mr Abbott answered a question from the audience about possible cuts to public services and jobs.

"Mr Abbott seems to be suffering from just a little bit of amnesia," Mr Rudd said.

"When he was health minister he cut $1 billion from the public hospitals budget of Australia."

Mr Abbott accused the Prime Minister of "telling fibs".

"I did not cut $1 billion out of public hospital funding. I did not," he said.

"While I was the health minister, public hospital funding went up from under $8 billion a year to close to $10 billion a year.

"Now at one stage under my predecessor, there was an adjustment to the forward estimates. It slowed down the rate of increase; it never involved a cut."

It should be to the absolute shame of the press gallery that Rudd has been allowed to get away with this lie for so many years.
It's similar to the "Coalition's 70 billion black hole" that they are peddling this time around.

I would say the Labor natives are becomung restless with Rudd's performance and have all but given up ever winning the election.

I just watched his performance on Insiders with more lies and BS as per usual.

It is still my opinion that the Gillard gang will spoil his party in the last week of the campaign. They will be after revenge and will leak like a sieve.

I watched it too today and noted in particular the opening segment where they weren't even game to show the crowd response to TA's "Does this guy ever shut-up" comment. That set the tone for the whole show.

They know the fate of this Labor Government. Barrie is now reduced to using the show to pay his last respects to this dying Labor administration and to its politically mortally wounded messiah.

Expect the last round of something similar next Sunday.

He is very unfit physically. He was audibly gasping for breath during the interview,

I still reckon anyone who rules Kevin Rudd out, is brave.

He will fight until the very end.

Do not underestimate his capacity to schmooze the electorate.

Sorry gg but he's all schmoozed out, it worked on school kids for a while but even they have gone back to their IPhones for entertainment.

Yes I noticed that also.............I thought he sounded like he had the sniffles from a cold or the flu.

The guy is a nut.

Calls off election campaign yesterday (Syria gassing issue), then fly's from Canberra to Brisbane to do a ABC kitchen segment and his 'advisors/assistants' lie about it too.

What a joke.

Prime Minister Kevin Rudd halts campaign for Syria, then does TV show Kitchen Cabinet

We went to the Bulimba festival yesterday, it was a lovely day, pigged out on Bratwurst and ice cream and Joe Camilleri and his band put on a great show.... great to see bald old farts still rockin'

Anywayz, Bulimba is in K.Rude's electorate and he had a stand there... I just may have had a vent... they weren't smiling, but boy did I feel good afterwards, capped off a great day nicely.

It's a pity the clown himself didn't turn up... too busy saving Syria I 'spose.

Note Kevin Rudd's facial expression just after one minute into the video segment as Anthony Albanese speaks about high speed rail.

Pleasant thoughts in Kevin Rudd's mind I think not.

haha - you don't often see a photo of Kevin with his mouth shut!

But how do we know it was Obama on the phone? Could have been his wife for all we know or even no-one on the other end. The exaggerations he spits out makes anything he says questionable, imo.

Rudd was giving his lunch order to Albanese

FWIW:
After Gough got the boot way back when and as a pimply faced teenager I became a Labor supporter just falling short of becoming a party member. Over the years and one would think becoming a little more world wise, I stopped being a Labor supporter, if fact I don't support any political party now. Yes, you can call me a swinging voter.

In '07 I was starting to think that Labor might have got their act together. Memories of Gough and the Hawk/Keating stouch fading into the distance. Then Labor go and stuff up again! Back stabbing Kevy then trying to salvage this election at any cost by more back stabbing is simply a slap in the face of the sensibility of this pleb voter. Then they go and bring Beattie back too. Acts of desperation to say the least. Not impressed let me tell you. :frown:

You guessed it, not even a preference vote will go to the Labor feather nesting factory, no bloody fear, not from this disgruntled citizen.

Ah, that feels better...

Newspoll state by state breakdown

The punters have seen the light (or is that the dark in the case of Kevin Rudd ?) in NSW and SA. No improvement in Labor's 2PP support in those two states since Kevin Rudd returned to the Labor leadership.

Kevin Rudd of course is home boy in Queensland, so they're slower to switch on there and there's also Campbell Newman's cuts (a theme on which Federal Labor is constantly pushing the barrow) but one has to wonder about Victoria and its 17% primary support for the Greens. What's going into the latte's there ?

The slight fall in 2PP support for the Coalition in the west may be in part due to the state Liberal government's recent antics. The Coalition though still enjoys it's highest 2PP support of the mainland states in the west in what can only be described as a clear marriage of dollars and sense.

I'll stick this in the right place this time.

On Kevin Rudd's latest gigantic thought bubble, I'm not sure this will do much for his public perception.

More BS to try to get votes in Qld, the man's a menace.

Indeed.

He's now reduced to defending the bunker.

What a self-conceited wanker this person is.


Idiot.

How anyone could even half contemplate voting for him is beyond me.

I saw that and before he could open his wimpy whining prissy mouth I switched off, I've had enough.
