It's an interesting one.
From the comments on social media about this, it seems racism only is racism against minorities or a suppressed race, whereas racism is not racism against the majority or perceived entitle race.

One thing is for sure, she is not the media darling anymore and never will be again.

It's bizarre. Kerr's comment wouldn't have made the top 1,000 most offensive things said to London police officers that day.

And the trial has been set down for 4 days. 4 days...? What on earth are they going to discuss for 4 whole days...

Georgina McGuinness to the rescue?

while i do not agree with racism on any race (black, white or whoever), I understand why some will think its ok with what Sam said.
However, you will never eradicate racism if it is not a blanket rule or standard for everyone.
Having it ok for black people to racially abuse white people because they have been oppressed for years does not make it right.

I’m having the best run of my life, ever since Jan 1 when I suggested we get the wheels in motion for our divorce (which is this Thursday), she did ask if I wanna go out for dinner that night

Hospitals to receive $1 billion boost in State Budget

ADELAIDE’S suburban hospitals will receive a $1.1 billion boost in this week’s State Budget — including a $250 million redevelopment of the QEH that will keep cardiac services in the western suburbs.

HOSPITALS will receive a $1.1 billion boost in this week’s State Budget — including a $250 million renovation of the Queen Elizabeth Hospital.

After Saturday’s announcement of a significant upgrade at Modbury Hospital, the State Government has now backed away from a proposal that would have resulted in cardiac services being removed from the Queen Elizabeth Hospital.

The Sunday Mail exclusively revealed that Thursday’s Budget — Treasurer Tom Koutsantonis’ fourth and the last before a state election in March — will include a total of $1.1 billion to “modernise” suburban hospitals.

It will include major new infrastructure spending, as well as service upgrades.

On Sunday, the State Government confirmed details of the QEH modernisation, which will include a new emergency department, operating theatre and day surgery suite.

The Budget will also fund new outpatient and medical imaging services, and advanced brain and spinal injury rehabilitation services, at the Woodville South hospital.

Cardiac services will remain at the QEH, along with respiratory and cancer services.

Premier Jay Weatherill said the QEH expansion would start in early 2019 and support 780 full-time jobs.

Health Minister Jack Snelling said the revamped QEH “will provide modern, world-class facilities for all western suburbs residents, as well as patients who need access to the most advanced specialised rehabilitation services in the state”.

Here are the pertinent words

Announcing election spruikers and being commissioned are two entirely different things
In 2017 Weatherill's government knew they were in electoral strife with Transforming Health which gutted the health system
A bit like the Gawler Line electrification - brought out every election and then dumped

No matter how you try to whitewash history - its still there forever

What am I missing?

It was in the budget of 2017.

It was commissioned.

So it was budgeted by the Weatherill government before the election, that was just an election eve promise ( 10 months from the election ) though it was Marshall who commissioned it so he's the champion of it?

Righto.

100%, no wonder the teals made the ground they did last time round.

Agreed, it's laughable how some people treat political parties like football teams.

I spoke to a former Lib once about why he chose them, his words were to the effect of "Mate, it doesn't really matter, they're both the same now"

I maintain that for many years, particularly in the early 2000's, that was very true that the left and right had never been closer together. How quickly that has changed. Thanks Twitter.
