Hmmmmmmmmmmmm ....
Well, the Premier of Queensland appears to have given $20 million towards cutting hospital waiting lists! Nothing like stating the obvious, hey panzade!

This may be a con job, I don't know.
Here's the problem:
* Queensland is in the north of Oz. Victoria (where I am) is in the south. It is hard to figure out from here what Peter Beattie has actually done & why.
* Peter Beattie was a political media person/animal. A master of spin. All my search activities came up with was government press releases about what a great thing his government had done!

Obviously the cartoonist thought there was something *interesting* happening here! But what?
* I'm afraid we're going to ask for the services of Queenslanders to get to the bottom of this. Dear Deb, could you ask your special friend? Or hinge (recently moved to the far north of QLD) are you in any position to comment?
* Trying to figure this one out just reinforces the view of anyone who doesn't live in Victoria or New South Wales in Oz .... >>> We (in the named states) are up ourselves & think the whole country revolves around us!
How's that for a response, then?
