If someone said we should sack more than 2,000 nurses a year from our public hospitals, I\u2019d tell them they\u2019re dreaming. Yet that\u2019s what Malcolm Turnbull is essentially doing to our public hospitals. He\u2019s cutting the equivalent of 2000 nurses a year from 2017-2019.<\/p>\n
But it gets worse the longer Turnbull has his hands on our public hospitals. Turnbull\u2019s sneaky and unfair 2018 budget revealed that he\u2019s also cutting $2.8 billion from our public hospitals between 2020 and 2025.<\/p>\n
Malcolm Turnbull is so out of touch he is happy to cut from our public hospitals to help fund his $80 billion tax handout to big business. It\u2019s the wrong priority.<\/p>\n
Labor will fully reverse Turnbull\u2019s $2.8 billion worth of hospital cuts as well as funding 500,000 more life-saving MRI scans through Medicare. We can\u2019t wait until the next Labor government is in office to undo the damage done, we need to act now.<\/p>\n
We\u2019re building a campaign team to ramp up the pressure on Malcolm Turnbull. If there\u2019s overwhelming public opposition to his health cuts, he\u2019ll be forced to dump them.
