From what I see & read he has thrown a bit of a spanner in Julia's Master Health Plan and now he's going to do the same for her Master Education Plan.
If what he does results in the States re-acquiring some of the powers in these areas that are their right under the constitution, then he will have done a great thing for Australia.
I for one hope that the march towards ever more centralised power is turned back on itself right here and now.

A mate has a wife with liver cancer. Because she lives in Queensland she is not eligible for a transplant, though she would be in other states.

Don't talk to me about the state system.

Is this Abbott's fault?

It's the criteria they use, based on age, health and drinking history. Each state seems to be different.
