Nationals MP Darren Chester believes "more innovative approaches" need to be explored to deal with the growing shortage of health professionals in our regional centres.
"Last year, we announced a stronger rural health strategy which has, I think, in the order of $550 million to get 3,000 additional doctors and 3,000 additional nurses into our rural and regional areas," he said. "It takes time in terms of training programs. In the meantime, we do have a shortage.
Is there a more empty phrase than, “...more innovative approaches”?
Stop being full of ignorant people who continually vote for people who refuse to actually represent them would be a start.
It’s because regional centres are going backwards. Providing more support for regional centres would fix this and a few other issues.

Media unites for unprecedented press freedom campaign | Sky News AustraliaAustralian media has united for an unprecedented collective push for press freedom, with News Corp executive chairman Michael Miller saying that public “don’t feel like they’re getting the openness” they should in a democracy. \n\n“Since 2001 there has been 75 pieces of legislation which has restricted journalists to be able to do their job,” Mr Miller said. \n\n“In a democracy, it's the responsibility of the government be open to the public.\n\n“The public don’t feel like they’re getting the same openness back from the government.”\n\nThe campaign comes in response to Australian Federal Police raids targeting the ABC Sydney headquarters and the home of a News Corp journalist over stories printed earlier this year. \n\n Try truth seeking, and evidence gathering rather than opinion shoving.. you may be surprised how much of the public might support you then... The media is full of shit anyway they report what they want and twist things and destroy people Get China out of Australia then!

PM&C dodges drought questioning | Sky News AustraliaOfficials from the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet have avoided questioning over the government's drought response, in a stunning exchange in Monday's Senate estimates hearing. \n\nOfficials were asked for information regarding Major General Day's drought report, Barnaby Joyce's tenure as drought envoy, and the proposed changes Farm Household Assistance. \n\nThe department was forced to take numerous questions on notice as they were unprepared for the line of questioning. \n\n They'd rather blow billions of dollars on rail way that is not needed and ruin more peoplea lives rather then actaully helping. Leave the Speedway alone and spend the money where its needed! SaveOurFarmers Why haven't we asked our indigenous brothers to do some type of rain dance? Surely over 40,000 years they have had suffered from long droughts and obviously survived them.

Labor shifts on national security exemptions for journalists | Sky News AustraliaThe press freedom campaign has scored a win after Labor’s shadow attorney-general told Sky News journalists doing their job should be exempt from prosecution under national security laws.\n\nIn a major shift, Mark Dreyfus said such legislative changes would be “appropriate”. \n\n“The government ought to be bringing legislation into the parliament to do this. Clearly this government hasn’t understood the discretions that are there,” he said. \n\n“It’s not a blanket exemption. It’s recognising the vital role that splayed by journalists in our democracy.”\n\nImage: News Corp Australia\n Yeah sure, Labor would not be saying this if they were in Government!!! Many legitimate (NUJ) journalists were required to sign Official Secrets Act in course of investigating hot stories. Very rarely did it cause more than a few hours delay and never caused genuine exposés to be spiked... But did help cut funds to terrorist groups theboltreport Labor lost so how is this a win?
