Australian Greens Senator and spokesperson for health Dr Richard Di Natale today criticised the Gillard government for taking alcohol tax reform off the agenda for the October tax forum. 

Health spokesperson for the Australian Greens, Senator Richard Di Natale, today said that the Government’s health reform package is a good first step but falls short of having a significant impact on the health of Australians.

“These reforms will clarify the funding relationship between Federal and State Governments for hospitals, and that’s a good thing,” Senator Di Natale said.
