Queensland rejects federal hospital funding offer, citing inadequate terms and delays.
Queensland Premier David Crisafulli has rejected a federal hospital funding proposal, calling it inadequate and accusing the government of delaying a fair deal that would leave hundreds of patients stranded in hospitals.
He ended informal “cannoli diplomacy” with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, citing the federal offer’s drop from a promised 42.5% to about 35% of funding by 2030.
Crisafulli said the delay effectively shuts down major hospitals daily, with 1,126 long-stay patients in acute beds, and vowed to push for full funding to ensure proper care.
He highlighted state achievements in health, infrastructure, and housing, while other state leaders express growing concern over federal underfunding.
