Absolute disgrace that a government that is running a multi billion dollar surplus can let this happen while in its 5th year of government. heads must roll. Can you imagine what sort of slash and burn job the usual media culprits would be doing if this was under a Lib government, would be a totally different story with relentless demands for the health minister to go, but ..........

Which "usual media culprits" would they be?  Who can forget the photos in The West of an empty train carriage on the Mandurah line?

The correct terminology is "bed state black" which means there's no ICU beds available.
Mate if Dan Andrews can survive the biggest covid disaster in the nation, Cook will keep his job in a heart beat over this - its the labor way.
Bazza your Liberal Party slip is showing.
 

Always Remember Swan I voted for Hawk and Burke

Here we go again, just now, reports that pregnant women being turned away from our biggest Maternity hospital, plus almost no beds available in the other public hospitals.

Surely this is the last straw for Cook, his portfolio is an absolute shambles, no announcements about what will be done to address this serious situation, just denials or 'everything all right, from a Govt running a multi billion dollar surplus, thats mostly from riding on the back of record iron ore prices, the arrogance of this mob is mind boggling far beyond anything that Barnett displayed, nothing done in the last 4 + years to address the health crisis.

Where is the media? They report these issues but dont dig deep and try and force the truth from the health minister and make him accountable, the evidence is there, or are they too busy trying to destroy the reputations of certain public figures, it's almost like a game for some of these journo's, to see how many scalps they can take with or without evidence.

Lets all keep our fingers crossed that non of us get sick enough to need hospital treatment because we probably will spend hours and hours waiting in an ambulance in the hospitals driveway.

Disgracefull

The new Swan Districts hospital is another with a shortage of beds, despite its size. An ambulance from That hospital to Nedlands is $1006.00.

Haven't plans been announced to build a replacement for KEMH?

Roger the Dodger not available for comment. Same shit different day.

You tell me Swan your the man with his finger on the labour Governments pulse.

Who cares what the plans are? This is the here and now...all 5 hospitals declared no ED beds were available yesterday. What would happen in a medical emergency under that scenario? It doesn't bear thinking about.
