Kevin Rudd has got off to an excellent start with his first question as leader of the federal opposition in parliamentary question time on 4 December 2006.
Kevin Rudd asked: "Why has the Prime Minister rejected major reform of the health system, despite the fact that the Health Minister has described the current funding arrangements between the Commonwealth and the states as a dog's breakfast?" he said.
Mr Howard replied that the Government had already taken "a large number of very significant measures" to end the blame game.
Comment: The most significant measure Mr Howard could take would be to take up the offer made by the Queensland Premier, Peter Beattie to the federal government in August 2005 to take over the state's health system. Until that happens, the blame game will continue unabated!
