Same... not that I voted Labor either. The hippie in me just couldn't do it.

Bob Debus (our Federal local member - in the true sense of the word) shut down the maternity unit of our local hospital a few years ago. Women had to drive to Penrith (nearly an hour away) to a big ugly awful unfriendly hospital to have their babies, sometimes driving in dreadful conditions (snow, ice, rain, tourist traffic jams).

So then, after much debate, he decided that women were allowed to have their babies from Thursday to Sunday at the local hospital. Any other time, off to Penrith. After a fair few women gave birth in the emergency wing when they couldn't MAKE it to Penrith hospital, eventually the maternity ward was reopened.

So I will never vote Labor while that buttwad is our representative, but hate Liberal even more... it's the lesser of two evils I guess. But there's no longer that big a difference between them IMHO.

Oh is this too political?! Sorry to the mods!
