Queensland is the (conservative) arse-end of Australia Tongue

Still, this is unacceptable.

Who controls the state legislature. I was under the impression that Beattie (is that QLD premier?) was from the ALP?

indeed, but the federal government is getting increasingly involved in healthcare. Still, this is a Queensland state problem, and yes it is led by the ALP.

Waiting for death under elective surgeries?

Are these necessary surgeries or not?  Is the topic title misleading?

1. No, they are not neccesary for life, although some are necessary for quality of life (hip replacements, etc). 2. Yes, Richius used an extreme case of hyperbole.

Well, Richius, another reasonable argument of yours has been defeated by hyperbole that has ended up making me feel as if I was lied to.

You'd get your points across much better if you didn't pull this kind of crap.

It's just an article from a reputable news source he quoted, and then sculpted to get a catchy headline, entirely ignoring what the article actually meant.
