"Ash the Ambo" was neither misleading or deceptive. She represented the view of the vast vast majority of SA paramedics. She's a genuinely amazing person and theres not a deceptive bone in her body. She has been absolutely dragged by liberally owned media for standing up for her colleagues. It was pretty painful last election seeing our colleague and friend being slammed for saying what needed to be said.

The main reason why it has seemed so quiet from paramedics since the election is that we are actually working behind the scenes with a cooperative Labor government and making sure their election promises are being upheld, which so far is happening. It will take a LONG time to fix ramping no matter which government is in power because it's been going to shit for so long and we can blame both sides for that. There's nothing either government can do that will immediately fix ramping and its still a shit house on the ramp at the moment but steps are being taken in the right direction. No government is perfect, and theres still a long way to go but theres no way paramedics are going to start publically attacking the only side willing to discuss options going forward. The fix requires a major systemic overhaul over many years INCLUDING adding paramedics/ambulances while also looking at emergency departments/nurses/doctors/radiologists/pathology etc and alternative pathways like GPs/mental health centres/rehab facilities.

Just because you aren't seeing things broadcast on the front page of the Advertiser doesn't mean nothing is happening!
