WA accuses Canberra of $1 billion health care rip-off
16 April 2018 - West Australians are missing out on $1 billion in federal health funding in a "Canberra rip-off", the state's Health Minister says.
Roger Cook met with his federal counterpart Greg Hunt last week to discuss what Mr Cook claims is a gap that sees WA taxpayers miss out on $277 per person in health care funds, compared to the national average.
"It's time for the Canberra rip-off to stop," Mr Cook told reporters on Monday.
