Bill Shorten is promising states he'll guarantee them more health funding, putting in an extra $2.8 billion above what the coalition will do.
Labor argues the coalition has ripped up the 50/50 funding agreement, meaning public hospitals will lose $2.8 billion from now until 2025."As part of the Better Hospitals Fund, Labor will negotiate a new agreement with the states and territories to deliver more funding for public hospitals," Mr Shorten said on Sunday.
"Under the Liberals and Nationals, one in four Australians who present to an emergency department are not seen on time." Mr Shorten will address a NSW volunteer rally in Burwood on Sunday, in the Liberal-held seat of Reid. The Labor leader has visited Reid several times already, as Labor bids to win the seat from retiring MP Craig Laundy.
