Rain on Tiger's Parade...

Well another $3,000,000 on a golfer who attracted about 15 000 spectators to a golf course today. Whoop-di-do! Where does the Victorian government get off spending our money on an individual just to coax him to grace our state with his presence? Mind you, he also gets treated royally while he is here. Last night, a woman in the Melbourne CBD died after waiting over thirty minutes for an ambulance. DIED! Thirty minutes in metropolitan Melbourne for an ambulance. What a shambles. And while this poor woman died waiting, Tiger was living the high life at Crown with $3 million of our tax money. Much better for the economy the Government says, but never mind that citizens of Melbourne, people who make this city what it is, are dying because the ambulance is too busy to save your life tonight. Obviously $3 million towards the ambulance service won't do as much for the economy as $3 million to Tiger will. It would only save a number of lives and the heartbreak of many Victorians. Not nearly as important as giving 15 000 people the chance to see a golf swing on the back nine. Hopefully with the torrential rain we are expecting tomorrow the greed, the arrogance, the blindness and the egotistic mindset of the Brumby government will wash away and hopefully bring something cleaner on the otherside. Hopefully one death won't tarnish the State in the eyes of the great Tiger, along with the rain. Urgh...
