Figures obtained by Fairfax newspapers show the bed shortage is creating a logjam across the public system.

About 2700 patients are waiting longer than a day in emergency departments in the past financial year.

Letting all those freeloading Muzzies in for bennies and welfare was a shrewd move in Australia, Europe, the UK

And also in Canada

And the USA

Yes, they are really ‘thick’ in Canada. Wonder what the ratio is now?

That’s unreal. I just don’t know what’s wrong with our government, federal, state and city, to allow and even promote all this welfare state!

Maybe they are creating the drones.
