Supposed to be reading news updates today but we're short of reporters - five away, on leave, sick, or whatever. So today I'm the political reporter. Covered Brumby at the launch of a new private hospital near Pentridge where he announced his own blueprint for national health reform. This will annoy the hell out of Rudd who is trying to take over the running of the hospitals. Brumby says the Rudd plan simply takes one-third of the states' GST revenue and hands it back as Canberra's contribution, with no extra dollars. This is finally getting interesting.
Then it was off to Ashburton to watch Ted Baillieu rail against the lack of police numbers. Very average.
The Nanna Nixon saga is getting interesting too. I double checked the transcript and I think I've found at least two areas where she appears to have perjured herself in evidence last Tuesday. Tonight Nine reported that she'll be recalled to explain herself.
