The Allan government is subjecting the socialist republic of Victoria to co-governance in all but name. Despite Victorians joining the rest of Australia in overwhelmingly rejecting the ‘Voice’ and its attendant agenda, Allan has sailed right on and imposed it anyway. Now, a cabal of unelected and unaccountable pasty white ‘Aborigines’ has virtual oversight on everything the state does.
The results are already showing: in the state’s overcrowded, overburdened hospitals, the box-tickers are getting parachuted to the front of the queue.
In an Australian first, staff at St Vincent’s Hospital have been ordered to treat all indigenous patients within 30 minutes of arrival, putting them ahead of other patients in some cases.
This has echoes of Britain’s NHS, which mandates that illegal immigrants and cross dressers get shoved to the head of the queue. Just as in Britain, their justification for this blatant racism is ‘equity’.
Policy changes introduced at St Vincent’s Hospital in April last year require all indigenous patients to be assigned a minimum category three triage.
It means they must be seen within 30 minutes, and puts them ahead of semi-urgent category four patients and non-urgent category patients.
‘Well, sorry about that machete sticking out of your head, sir, but we’ve got a ‘First Nations’ person with a bit of a sniffle to deal with.’ Red-haired, freckled white guy clutching a hanky gets pushed to the head of the queue.
The hospital has now been nominated for a Victorian Public Healthcare Award with a citation noting “First Nations patients are now seen more promptly than non-indigenous patients”.
As always when it comes to this guff, just flip the script: what would be the reaction if the hospital was awarded for treating white people first?
Victorians may be clueless masochists when it comes to voting, but they’re not completely stupid.
It is estimated about five per cent of the hospital’s emergency department presentations are indigenous, higher than any other Victorian hospital.
Hey, if the box gets you in faster, it gets ticked. It would be hilarious to see what happened if every patient claimed to be ‘indigenous’. After all, if a pasty white ranga can be appointed as head of the state’s ‘First Peoples’ Assembly’, the bar is clearly as low as it could be.
Shadow health minister Georgie Crozier accused the hospital of blatant discrimination.
“The triaging of patients should be done on medical need, not based on the colour of your skin,” she said.
“This sort of discrimination will only divide our society.
“This is the first glimpse at what Jacinta Allan’s divisive treaty will look like.”
The treaty bill, despite being a complete constitutional absurdity, is expected to pass the state’s parliament this week, despite being supported by just one-third of even Victorians. Short of a High Court challenge, the opposition, in a rare display of something resembling a spine, has vowed to repeal the law if elected next year.
