I think a lot of us wish we could do more for all these people, but at least we're doing something.

My mother's a nurse who works in both the private and public health system and she is very unimpressed with the state of affairs.

The issues are a severe lack of doctors and nurses plus funding. The government keeps harping on about how they opened X number of beds but those beds aren't being used since there's not enough staff to look after any patients in them.

if the government keeps bringing in 1000s of people a week, they have to spend some money to upgrade the hospital system, power system, and water system, because at the moment it just can't cope with all the people. well in Sydney anyway.

The government is screwed up here. They wont fix what needs to be fixed they will spend it on usless shit we don't need.

jadeakira · 01-09-2005, 06:10 AM

Well for as messed up as certain things in this country are, our hospitals for example... I'm glad I'm not living somewhere else because it could be a lot worse.

I agree with you jadeakira. We should stop whinging and whining about the negative stuff and start being grateful for all the postives this country has to offer. Like u said, "it could be a lot worse". If the recent Asian disaster hasn't already opened your eyes to how good we have it over here, then u need to make an appointment with an optometrist.
