“Who here remembers that Peter Dutton was once health minister?
Don’t worry if you don’t. Events of the week suggest that he doesn’t seem to, either.” #AusPol
Dutton has backed more funding to women’s health. But the political record is worth revisiting

the problem with having money earmarked for women’s health is it normalises making such expenditure exceptional.
“elf is elf” I say, and health care is a right or it is not.
there should be no gold medals for doing the right thing.

A hallmark of our society is people wishing to be praised for just doing their job.
Politicians are always telling us how *hard* they're working, how they have a laser like focus on something or other.
Using special provisions for women's health as an election promise is a stark admission of failure.
It's a bit like the consumer product that is marketed as 'New & Improved'. The obvious inference is that the previous version was Old & Inadequate.
This is a pretty good description of Cuddles.

“In a survey of 1100 readers of Australian Doctor magazine, 46 per cent said Dutton was the worst health minister in thirty-five years. (The health minister thirty-five years earlier was Ralph Hunt, who oversaw the Fraser government’s dismantling of Labor’s earlier medical insurance scheme, Medibank.)”
