“Come On Wyatt! What A Whopper”

Published: Fri 13 Oct 2000 09:31 AM
“Former health minister Wyatt Creech is telling a huge whopper when he claims that high patient satisfaction with health professionals in public hospitals is due to his former government’s ‘health reforms’,” said Mr Ian Powell, Executive Director of the Association of Salaried Medical Specialists, today.
“Over the past decade public hospitals suffered systematic disruption and chaos because of the commercialisation ideology of Mr Creech’s former government. It is a tremendous credit to health professionals that they were able to continue providing quality health care and maintain public confidence in them on the smell of an oily rag and despite the havoc caused by Mr Creech’s policies.”
“Rather than generously rewriting history Mr Creech should learn from rather than risk repeating the mistakes of history.”
“Come on Wyatt! Your claim has as much credibility as claiming that your failed ‘health reforms’ were responsible for Rob Waddell winning a gold medal at the Sydney Olympics,” concluded Mr Powell.
