1. It would be a catastrophe if government administration were to reduce another hospital to inefficiency and chaos.It is amazing to me that so many hospitals run by nuns and a board were able to deliver ethical and competent care to the public as opposed to that delivered by bureaucracy.

2. And I have to wonder is this has some ideological basis. This Stanhope administration is rampantly pro-abortion. I presume it galls the sisterhood of emily's list that there are hospitals in Canberra that won't murder babies.

3. There may be staff at Calvary who do not wish to work in a hospital which performs abortions. Should the sale go ahead, where will these people work? Is that not restricting their right to choose to work in an abortion-free hospital? But then a government which promotes same sex marriage and abortions probably couldn't care less. Maybe there is some clause in the Trade Practices Act which addresses such a situation - taking away someone's choice of place to work, I mean. I wonder what others think?
