JO lALZST: Your response to Andrew Peacock's statement
that Peter Shack won't be Health Minister in a Peacock
Government, if there is a Peacock Government.
PX: Well it's a great abdication of leadership. There
was Mr Peacock making the noises himself last year about
the fact that the health policy was prepared and fully
costed and all the details done. He vanted to have the
glory then ot announcing these things and now that the
promises that he made then have been revealed as a
baseless misrepresentation. He's trying to sacrifice Xr
Shack. The responsibility in leadership stops on the
leadar's desk.
