Victoria’s ambulance union questions legality of Coalition’s campaign ‘ambulance’

Hill stressed the reasoning behind the legislation was to prevent vehicles being mistaken for ambulances.

“It’s to stop a poor member of the public from waving down an ambulance and have two politicians roll out,” he told Guardian Australia.But Guy rubbished the suggestion that someone could mistake the vintage ambulance for a real ambulance, saying: “Come on.” Guy was campaigning in the Labor-held seat of Mordialloc in Melbourne’s south-east on Wednesday, when he pledged that, if elected, a Coalition government would implement a five-year freeze on the service charges on water bills, saying households would save an estimated $100 a year.

Healthcare and hospital funding is also set to be one of the major battlegrounds of the state election on 26 November. In social media videos, the senior Liberal MPs David Southwick and Georgie Crozier stood by the “ambulance” near Victorian’s parliament on Tuesday morning, with Southwick saying there were “no beds in here”. The comment was a reference to the opposition’s criticism that the Andrews government has failed to deliver its promise of 4,000 ICU beds.in an effort to help the state respond to the pandemic.

Like the mafia questioning the ethics of well just about everyone else

Didn’t expect the union though to come out in support of the Libs like this & agree that health services funding in this state is so bad that Victorians could easily mistake a 1970s ambulance as being part of our current health service

Coalition needs an election hearse.🪦

Victorians simply think the stunt grotesque. The worst thing about being a Victorian is that there's no sane Opposition party and we desperately need one that is at least competent.

Unions love to try and dictate! If you don't laugh, you cry. I love the humour in this so much 🤣 Cheap, clownish... just like the Liberals.
