Dear John,
Does this pass the pub test?
Mind-boggling news stories never seem to
end and this week I've got more!
I don't think they'd pass the pub test but I'll let you be the
judge. Before we raise an eyebrow in disbelief at more decisions that
make us think, "Why on earth would you do that", let's talk about
having the guts not only to say what you're thinking but to do what
others won't.
One Nation's Mark Latham has said eight years is too long to be in
parliament without facing the public at the voting booths. This is why
he's decided to quit parliament ahead of the NSW state election and
re-run, even though he has four years left of his term. A big call
that no doubt will pay off.
Now moving on to a story that definitely doesn't pass the pub test,
in the face of a GP shortage, NSW Health Minister Brad Hazzard has
made a reckless call to fast-track overseas doctors by lowering entry
standards. Personally, the last thing I'd want is an incompetent
doctor in my time of need who may not even be proficient in
English!
As if potentially paying for a GP who doesn't know what they're
doing isn't scary enough, predictions of a 35% increase in power
prices next year are threatening us and our businesses once again.
Energy is a big issue and something we all should stay updated on,
check the article out below.
Let me know, does Australia letting in incompetent doctors pass the
pub test? Are you worried about further increases in electricity
prices? That's all from me this week, I hope you enjoy your weekend
and hopefully aren't affected by the floods if you're in Vic or
NSW!
Kind Regards,
Peter Brady
