in his former position as aged care and Indigenous health minister - leading to a communication breakdown, a staff exodus and the Finance investigation.

Vanguard Health has donated at least $21,000 to the Liberal National Party of Queensland since 2009, including direct funding for Dr Glasson's campaign. Labor estimated Dr Glasson received up to $1 million in funding from the LNP in his bid to unseat former prime minister Kevin Rudd in his seat of Griffith.

ErykBagshaw Here we go again : liberals = corruption.

ErykBagshaw Nothing to see here? Why didn't they talk to the fred Hollows foundation.

ErykBagshaw Where is the integrity, standards? This is flat out corruption

ErykBagshaw Corrupt

ErykBagshaw Different kind of corruption?

ErykBagshaw Just when u thought there was only one honest Polly left, KenWyattMP goes and let’s u down. Is the whole principle of the LNP to siphon the nations wealth to their donors and members?

ErykBagshaw He’s not like all indigenous but he is like all lnp corrupt thriving lying bastards

ErykBagshaw Corruption doesn’t discriminate

ErykBagshaw No surprises here.

ErykBagshaw Greed is good

ErykBagshaw Snouts in the trough and jobs for the boys...gettting worse by the minute. To think that just over 50% on two-party preferred voters chose to reelect the LNP still staggers me.

ErykBagshaw No... Really?

ErykBagshaw Corruption brought to you by Liberal sycophants, Scott Morrison and the LNP.

ErykBagshaw Goes on in Panel beaters, Home Insurance and who knows what........self regulation nowdays is a money tree.

ErykBagshaw A non-tender contract is a problem, but the contention of the article based on “when I know the going rate is $2000” from a single source is likely misleading. Hospital costs alone would hit that mark.

ErykBagshaw Absolutely shameful to exploit Aboriginal pple going blind

ErykBagshaw they are hard to help

ErykBagshaw The LNP and their mates...
