    And the Commonwealth Police (now the AFP) were only created in 1917 after somebody lobbed an egg at Billy Hughes and a Queensland Police officer refused to act.
    Until then, the state's Police forces had enforced Customs and Immigration laws on behalf of the Federal Departments.

    Look at the unlovely lot in opposition in Qld. Imagine them in government. Dominated by the Country Crooks (sorry, National Party) and a billionaire who is trying to buy himself a government.

    The NSW opposition couldn't suck boiled lollies without frequent re-instruction and close supervision.

    You may well be correct but how bad do we have to go before we give 'em a go?
    I look from the point of view that health care in Oz can't get much worse so it's worth taking a risk!
    My sister is a nurse and refuses to work in the public hospital system as it's downright dangerous and inept. I'm willing to take a chance on a drovers dog having a go!

    Someone has to try and fix the State hospitals! I reckon us landy owners could even have a fair crack at it!

    Like the great majority, neither I nor any member of my family have ever had a problem with public hospitals. Longest I have had to wait was four months for surgical repair of an umbilical hernia. My wife and I both have spinal problems, hers congenital, mine from an accident and both of us have had extensive efficient treatment from orthopaedics, physio, plastic surgery. I think a lot of the winges about the public hospital system come from people with unreasonable expectations of immediate treatment. Typically they seem to think that there should be a team waiting just for them in case they have a heart attack, or get pi**ed and fall down the stairs.

    lost the plot

    I think we should expect fast efficent treatment if we accept less we are letting our selves down, pregnet women should not be miscarrying in the toilets, heart attack victoms should not die at home the next day and we should not leave hospital sicker than we went in. We are the last time i asked a first world country if we let the pollies get away with what is happening then it is our fault. We get the goverment we ask for.If the state govt cant run hospitals properly then hand the money and the hostpitals over the the feds they seem to have plenty of our money to spend.mad:

    sorry but i have seem our hospitals going down hill at ever increasing speed the last 10 to 15 years as a very regular patient.
