Nicola Roxon (Gellibrand, Australian Labor Party, Minister for Health and Ageing) Share this | Hansard source

I have been able to uncover—and the member for Dickson will particularly enjoy this—the centrepiece policy that the Leader of the Opposition introduced to deal with this growing workforce crisis. He went straight to a hole-in-one solution. You might think that that is sort of a strange description, but his solution to the workforce shortage was golf balls. Golf balls might sound like a strange thing to do, but the minister—I have this here with me—produced, in response to the workforce shortages covering 74 per cent of the country, a golf ball—a golf ball which says ‘doctor vacancy’. A great help to finding doctors for every regional town across the country that needs a doctor!
