One Nation dodges hospital stance while Liberals push new Albury-Wodonga plan
One Nation did not commit to a new Albury-Wodonga hospital. The Liberal Party promised $100 million for upgrades.
One Nation's Victorian leader Warren Pickering did not support a new hospital for Albury-Wodonga. He said he would defer to the party's MP for the region.
Kellie Sheppard is One Nation's candidate for Benambra. She said she was still cramming to understand the hospital issue before taking a position.
One Nation's stance differs from the Liberals. The Liberals committed $100 million toward the Albury upgrade.
They also promised a feasibility study for a new greenfield site. One Nation's federal MP for Farrer is David Farley.
He said his position was clear and firm. But his office was still working on the party's position.
The Twin Cities hospital shortage has been an issue in the region for years.
