Mr SWAN (Lilley—Deputy Prime Minister and Treasurer) (14:46): Here we go with more of the exaggerations, more of the inaccurate statements—everything the member for Wentworth was talking about—and these inaccurate characterisations of the impact of a carbon price. The Commonwealth Treasury and the Department of Health and Ageing estimate that the impact of the carbon price will be 0.3 per cent on hospital costs. This is the equivalent of only one cent for every $3 spent on hospitals. In addition to that, there is indexation of hospital funding to the states that is very generous. The problem here at the moment is that the state governments are withdrawing money from public hospitals. I have seen it at Prince Charles Hospital in my electorate. Mr Dutton interjecting— The DEPUTY SPEAKER ( Ms AE Burke ): The member for Dickson is warned. Mr SWAN: They knocked off 30 beds the other day and there is more to come. We have just had Campbell Newman announce job cuts of 14,000. Mr Pyne: On a point of order, Madam Deputy Speaker, the Acting Prime Minister was asked about the effect of the carbon tax on hospitals—nothing else. He should not be talking about Campbell Newman. The DEPUTY SPEAKER: The Manager of Opposition Business will resume his seat. The Acting Prime Minister has the call. Mr SWAN: Unlike those on that side of the House, I have a deep commitment to our hospitals and understand the importance of them. If you are going to sack 3,000 Queensland health employees—as the health minister said before—that has a very substantial impact on frontline services. There are some twisted priorities over there. They are supporting the cuts of 3,000 from Queensland public hospitals and they are making up all these other figures. They ought to get their priorities right and they ought to be out there opposing what Campbell Newman is doing.
