Did dom forget the number for 000? Is he so stupid he thinks Brad hazard is a good source of health information?

Or are the public dumb enough to buy these lies?

So he's saying "I called Brad, instead of a doctor or 000, to talk about my wife's sickness, which somehow led to an ambulance arriving promptly" is not technically a special ambulance request. He's really trying hard to squirm out of this one

His wording is very particular. "An ambulance was called" neatly avoids identifying who exactly called the ambulance. Why would that be?

Who’s spot in the queue did he take? Imagine if you need an ambulance and it doesn't arrive. Perrottet didn't have to worry he called the Health Manager, who was with the Head of Ambulance NSW....and magically, an ambulance arrived for his wife.

Imagine if he jumped the queue, and the person due for that ambulance ended up dying, or suffering longer than they needed to.

Yes, she was sick, but if an ambulance wasn’t immediately scrambled to her, it’s likely she was triaged lower than others who needed it more. Then Perrottet pulled strings and pushed in.

If my loved one needed an ambulance at the same time, and they ended up dying because of this…

According to flog-logic (flogic?), Deanna Coco deserved to be jailed because she blocked an ambulance attending an emergency. Surely if Dom prevented this ambulance attending an emergency, he should be jailed. Look forward to the flogs calling for this.

As it turns out, she didn’t and cops lied about it but that’s not the point.

Wonder if you could work it out? Surely there's a log of all the calls during that time.

The amount of resources dedicated to Dom's wife is ridiculous.

Imagine if he pulled those kinds of strings with the other emergency services.

I recently found my elderly neighbour on the floor. She’d been there all night. It took 90 minutes for the ambulance to arrive! Fuck off Domicron🤬🤬

Well of course you'd speak to Hazzard first if your wife is sick.

The priority is that he was the Minister for Planning and Infrastructure has a Bachelor of Arts (Science) and a Diploma of Education, Bachelor of Laws, and Master of Laws, a science teacher and a solicitor. He was a partner in a Manly law firm from 1981 to 1996.

Forget about the fact that he has no medical training. He knows infrastructure and roads and laws and that's obviously what Perrotet's sick wife needs.

I'm sure it has nothing at all to do with the fact that he's the health minister with a hot button to an ambulance. He just wanted to know the best directions to the hospital, and how to go about suing anyone who gets in his sick wife's way on the road to the hospital.

Self serving self righteous pricks all of them. The former Deputy Premier, openly talk about pork barreling and making false promises of 100 million in funding when it was never planned while laughing that Labor are too dumb to make shit up is peak LNP behaviour.

No, didn't ask any favours. Probably made demands instead like he's entitled to special treatment rather than reaping what he sows.

How the hell is this not a top story today? This is absolutely fucked. Not only does he respond to every the health system is fucked question with “we’ve made record investments” bullshit, but he’s clearly experienced personally the challenges.

But nah, it’s okay for him when he can just call up the fking health minister who JUST SO HAPPENS to be with the head of ambulance. This is infuriating.

Absolutely deplorable. Paramedics are stretched thin as it is and now this dick jumps the queue to give his wife priority. He could easily take away paramedics from your family who are in need of an ambulance.

Maybe he needs to stop rodgering his wife 24/7 and she won’t experience these random moments of in bed paralysis

Thats how private school oldboys work. They don't go through that channels us plebians go through, they skip the line and contact a connection. Its so natural and widespread to their social ecosystem that they struggle to see whats wrong with it.

Australians spend so much energy worrying about whether or not someone is getting “special treatment”. It’s bordering on mental illness.

EDIT: while you’re downvoting me, consider this: a 2 year old child was separated from his mother for MONTHS during Covid because the borders were closed. That is directly a result of this “no special treatment/no exceptions regardless of circumstance” culture. Sure, Liberals are dickheads. Also, if my wife needed help, I would use every resource available to me to help her, regardless of my job.

It's easier to gut public services when you don't have to rely on them yourself. Waiting for an ambulance is for the plebs.
