WA in the grip of complacency and apathy

The facts, in 1990 the number of public hospital beds in Western Australia at that time was 3,987. By the end of the 1990s, the number of public hospital beds had declined to 3,345, a loss of more than 600 beds from our public hospital system during the 1990s. By last year that number had risen to 3,427 public hospital beds in WA. Still 560 less than the number we had in 1990. Western Australian Population 1990: 1,195,000 current population 2,667,000. No wonder our health system in WA is struggling and you can thank 30 years of poor government not just the last 5 years under McGowans Leadership.

And forget about getting care in regional WA. You're out of luck if you have anything more severe than a hangnail.


I may hate the ABC but this story is very indicative of a big issue in our hospitals in both regional WA and in Perth. I personally know a few nurses who have struggled to get permanent visas and struggle to get sponsored even though they are already working here in health care. These things all tie in to the reported poor morale with health workers in this state.

They have an alternative?
Retire, go single income family, start a family, take a low job-stress fifo role with a miner, go east, take a year off. Lots of alternatives.

Dry argument
 
I actually have an issue with the title of this thread. I would retitle it as "WA in the grip of totalitarianism and dystopia and stupidity".

....and McPolPot kicks another own goal.

Let me just quite sat whar this says about you.

1/ you have a complete inability to think critically about anything.

2/ you are one of those who would have probably joined the SS back in 1933-44.

Not something to be proud of or should be broadcasting, bruh.

Bro, making objective observations does not make me angry, just objective. if you actually had the cojonies to meet me went invited, you would have seen that. I'm completely Zen, man.

And... Ad hominem insults are a logical fallacy. if you want to maintain any sword of intellectual integrity at all you should think of some other way of trying to insult me... Something actually intelligent which might actually work. :D
 
I guess it will will always be fractious with WA. Plenty of km between Perth and Canberra.
We want you in the Federation WA, but what's the deal with your hospitals?
I mean plenty of mining profits..I don't get it..?
 
Enjoy it outa the can brah
Hahaha

The sum of Humid's life is wearing an electronic ear tag, so he can drink substandard grog in some shitty pub... Life is more than that, moron.

Baaa-aaaa-aaaa
