Politics, Politics, Politics

Well after much thought I've decided to put up a blog on politics. I never really felt they belonged on this site. The focus is that on the electorate which I live in. The state seat of Bass and the Federal seat of Flinders. So most of it will be local, state and national politics. The could be some international stuff but really what ever takes my interests.

So stay tuned at  "Politics of the Everyday"

Phillip Island hospital

I read in the Phillip Island and San Remo Advertiser December 15th, 2010 our local state MP say
"As far as Warley hospital 'we are not going back'"
Interesting considering I never heard him say this as explicitly during the state election campaign!

It is even stranger just prior to the federal campaign our local federal representative was in front of 'Warley' pledging money to reopen it! This was in his 'Flinders News'

My conclusion is that the liberals have to start working together and getting policy consensus.
The good news is that Mr Smith in the Advertiser is pushing for a 24 hr emergency medical facility on the island. This is a good step. My only concern is that it will be attached to Phillip Island Medical Group. PIMG the  only real option on the island, where even if you are a local, during holiday seasons you can't make an appointment, you have to ring up that morning and there is no bulk billing.

Look me in the eye Tony...

Interesting how the liberals but probably more significantly Tony Abbott has gone back on his word regarding the speakers role.

Its pretty blatant. To me it just shows his driven nature to get into power.
It would appear his tactic is for the current government to be in as a precarious position as possible. Then for his party to have another go at winning an election as soon as possible.

For me especially in the Church I have always remembered the words 'Character over Anointing'.
I think it can be applied to politics. That's why I like Malcolm Turnbull. Even though he stuck to his principles over the emissions trading deal, and lost. In the long term he gained a lot of respect.

Tony Tony, read a bit of Shakespeare, your going down a slippery slope.
