The Nationals’ candidate for O’Connor, Tony Crook has criticised the Federal Government for failing to address the doctor shortage in regional Australia.
Mr Crook said while he was focused on long-term solutions to deliver better regional health outcomes, allowing more overseas trained doctors to practice in country areas could help ensure people had access to doctors in the short-term.
“Many foreign trained doctors are living in Australia and unable to work due to bureaucratic red tape,” Mr Crook said.
“These doctors are trained to a very high standard, yet the Australian Medical Council only conducts four assessment days a year.
“This allows a maximum of 144 additional doctors to enter the system every 12 months.” Continue reading Solution to doctor shortage overlooked by Federal Government

The Nationals WA candidate for O’Connor, Tony Crook, has said extending the Dampier to Bunbury Natural Gas Pipeline to the Great Southern should be a higher priority for Federal Government spending than building a rail-link in Western Sydney.

“If I win the balance of power The Nationals plan will guarantee regional WA gets a fair share of this infrastructure spending,” Mr Crook said. Continue reading Extending gas pipeline in regional WA more important than Sydney rail

The Nationals’ candidate for O’Connor, Tony Crook, has pointed to further splurges by the Labor Party saying aged care was being overlooked in Albany while seniors were treated to free broadband internet in QLD.
