Save our Medicare! Say no to Abbott's fee and cuts - Sydney Town Hall 4th January 2014
Channel: Yupster2501
Date: 05/01/2014

The Liberals have announced plans to re-introduce a $5 fee for every visit to the doctor with the possibility that this could be expanded to emergency room visitations.

It's time for us to say no to this attack on our health care system and demand better for Australia. We call for a free and funded health and dental care system and more funding to hospitals!

This Saturday at Townhall, we will be marching, and we invite everyone to march with us and put this issue on the map. We will end in the same location, with an all-clear for the march from police.

Speakers tomorrow will include:
Annie Butler from the NSW Nurses and Midwives Association
Sally McManus Secretary of the Australian Services Union NSW & ACT
Sarah Garnham National Education Officer of the National Union of Students
Linda Scott, Labor City of Sydney Councillor
Richard di Natale, Greens Senator

We'd like to thanks these people and their organisations for their support, and also the Maritime Union of Australia, and all others who have helped support the rally and tell people about it.
