Malinauskas Apologizes for Ramping Crisis, Labor's Housing Plan

0:00Sydney's story is making news on March 12th. South Australia's premier Peter Malinazka's has admitted his government failed to fix the ramping crisis, a major promise from the 2022 election. He apologized outright, saying there's no avoiding the fact they fell short on getting ambulances into hospitals faster. Earlier this week, Health Minister Chris Picton sparked controversy by sending journalists an email that seemed to come from a terminal cancer patient, praising the health system. Picton owned up to the mistake and apologized, but the premier called it senseless in a clear error. Despite pouring more than $1 billion into hiring doctors and adding hospital beds, the problem persists. State health data shows ambulances spent 3,616 hours ramped in February, worse than the 2,711 hours, when labor took power. Voters don't seem to upset though, with polls pointing to another big labor win and the liberals possibly shut out entirely. Malinazka's dismissed easy predictions, stressing elections are about seeker ballots choosing
