I know - considering it's only been a couple of months it's a frightening list of incompetency isn't it?   Still I guess we all expected it - you seem quite resigned to it, perhaps even delighted, Little Cardboard Kevvy has bent you over and is rooting you soundly.

You think jobs, uni places, interest rates and reduced services to be trivial.  How peculiar.

We seem to have lost the Kevin Rudd thread. Please report any other missing threads on feedback.

This is a great idea and should have been dealt with a long time ago. The inefficiencies caused by the different state vs federal funding of hospitals and nursing homes has been publicicsed for years.

Rudd's hospital revamp

KEVIN Rudd will pay states to clear hospital wards of 2000 elderly people who are occupying bed-space but should be in nursing homes.

The Prime Minister will bankroll "transitional" facilities under a $158million plan to ensure acute-care beds are used by people requiring surgery or treatment for severe medical problems.

Patients undergoing rehabilitation will also be moved to the new beds, which will cost taxpayers 10 times less to operate than acute-care beds in conventional hospital wards.

I'm starting to swing towards disliking him, I think he is either underestimating China, or is in on the plan to slowly hand over Australia to the Chinese.

KRudd, i believe i'll go to you.
