Vic: Time for action on health reform now: Gillard

Federal opposition leader TONY ABBOTT says Victorian Premier JOHN BRUMBY has done a
pretty good job running hospitals without Commonwealth interference.

The federal government's trying to get approval from the states to become the dominant
health funder by removing 30 per cent of GST revenues.

Mr ABBOTT's told the Nine Network it's understandable that Mr BRUMBY doesn't want the
Victorian system put at risk to try to address problems in NSW and Queensland.
