$80 BILLION IN CUTS, BUT ABBOTT ASKS, WHERE IS THE PROBLEM?

The Prime Minister has no idea what pain his $80 billion in cuts to hospitals and schools will have.

In a response to a question during question time today on the immediate impact these cuts will have, the Prime Minister asked: “where is the problem?&rdquo;

The problem is Tony Abbott is taxing Australians out of being able to see doctors. &nbsp;

The problem is the Abbott Government is shutting hospital beds by cutting billions of dollars in funding. &nbsp;

And the problem is these cuts will mean doctors, nurses, midwives, psychologists, radiographers and oncologists will need be sacked because of these cuts.

It shows how truly out of touch this Prime Minister is that he doesn&rsquo;t realise how much pain these cuts will inflict.

The Premier of New South Wales knows how much pain these cuts will inflict who has warned:

“the cuts have an immediate impact [&hellip;] what we are seeing in the next 12 months is hundreds and hundreds of hospital beds [&hellip;] impacted.&rdquo;

(BAIRD &ndash; DAILY TELEGRAPH &ndash; 19 MAY 2014)

And it was revealed in the Queensland Government&rsquo;s Budget handed down today that the problem is there will be cuts of $16 billion to hospitals and schools

Before the last election Tony Abbott lied when he said there will be ‘no cuts to health&rsquo;.&nbsp; Now every Australian will pay for Tony Abbott&rsquo;s lies.
