Have a look at some of the best quotes on the need to protest the downgrades to Griffith hospital.
John Dal Broi, Griffith mayor
“If this were the first service being taken away, people wouldn’t be so angry. But over the years we’ve seen service after service disappear. We are not going to take this lying down”.
Jenna Woodland, rally organiser
“We need to make this a referendum on Adrian Piccoli’s representation. If he can’t reverse these changes, we should pledge to vote against his party at the next election”.
Nathan Thomas, Real Estate Agent
“Why is it we pay full taxes in the MIA but get substandard health care?”
Noah Beltrame, capital city expert
“What a crazy idea [moving the pathologist to Wagga]. I hate travelling and I hate waiting. It will just make everything take longer”
Dr John Binks, former surgeon at hospital
“How incredibly stupid. You cannot run a hospital without a pathology team especially where they are as dedicated as our own team has been over a long period of time.”
