Watch for a major back flip and flip flop by Labour on the denial by their drug deliverer, Pharmac, of Herceptin for women dying of breast cancer.
National quite rightly, will fund the life saving drug when they take office in November 2008.
In the wake of crippling polls, a State infrastructure crumbling before our eyes, a deep Labour fed recession and a scandal over ACC staff rorts out yesterday Labour need to do the common sense thing to retain votes.
Funding Herceptin is the right thing to do. Funding pet grooming and face lifts for State ACC staff is clearly mad.
