Tim Arvier wants more specifics from David Crisafulli about how he’s going to fix the performance of the health system.
David Crisafulli says he wants to see new data, and Steven Miles says it’s been released and is now quietly mentioning some percentages.
The excellent BT editor Sean Parnell, who will no doubt read back over this blog later when he’s not on live TV, has asked whether the health system is in better or worse shape since 2015.
Miles has talked up the health system, while Crisafulli has a different view and says “categorically” the health system is in a worse position.
David Crisafulli voted against the government’s voluntary assisted dying laws when they went before Parliament, and Tim Arvier has asked David Crisafulli about whether he’d change the laws.
Crisafulli says he doesn’t have plans to change them, prompting Premier Steven Miles to interject, saying “these are the kind of weasel words we get from David”.
Crisafulli then insisted it would “not happen”, prompting Miles to claim the LNP leader couldn’t guarantee that, and ask whether he’d have a conscience vote, and whether his views had changed on voluntary euthanasia.
“It is not part of our plan, it will not happen,” Crisafulli said, then repeatedly trying to put an end to it. “Not happening.”
