To save Pesutto with a loan of $ 1.5 million to avoid bankruptcy to Victoria Liberals
Victoria Liberals’ 19 -member administrative committee decided to give the old leader last night, a dramatic meeting was held John Pesutto A loan of $ 1.5 million to pay his legal debt Moira Heeming.
This means that in addition to other things, he will not go bankrupt, which will trigger a choice in the Hawthorn chair. After the meeting, the head of the party, Phil DavisHe sent an e -mail to the members:
Of course, you will not see the media interpretation of Hawthorn to help the party to help the federal court to meet the cost decision of the vsutto slander.
The administrative committee of the party came together this evening and decided that Moira should be paid to him, and therefore the party will directly contribute $ 1.55 million to Mrs. Deeming.
This amount of Mr. Pesutto will be asked to re -pay the party on a commercial loan basis with the market -based interest rate and will allow the party to generate additional income from this investment.
Solving this issue once and for everyone is in the interests of the party, because it will see an end to the ongoing interpretation that allows the Labor Party to get rid of its terrible performances.
By providing the payment of Mrs. Deming, there will be no Hawthorn election, and the State Parliament team can focus on the emergency needs of the Victorian community, especially in the 2026 elections.

President Trump is thinking about the interest of Americans and I understand it. They know what Iran is a threat to humanity.

The resolution of the North Beaches hospital agreement is very complex, because Private and Public Hospital facilities are intertwined in the same building, which belongs to a third institution.
There are separate public and private wards, but all services are shared from theaters, pathology, x -ray, CT, reception and cleaning to nursing support.
If a mutual agreement is not reached, the proposed changes will authorize the Minister of Health to inform the Healthscope to notify the termination.
In addition, the treasurer will have an independent person assignment power to ensure that the compensation negotiations are realized in a reasonable time period and if the agreement cannot be reached.
The government said that the alternative of this approach is that the NSW government exercises voluntary termination rights.
In accordance with the PPP agreement, this would receive compensation for HEALTHSCOPE’s buyers and lenders to enter hundreds of millions of dollars.
Minister of Health, Ryan ParkHe said: ık We have made it clear that we have not supported such an arrangement from the beginning.
This is a complex contract, but the community deserves certainty.

NSW Treasurer said, “This is not a decision we’ve taken lightly,” Daniel MOOKHEYin question.
But now it means that the liberals’ privatization confusion negotiates the future of the receptors of Healthscope’s North Beaches Hospital.
While an output from this unsuccessful PPP agreement continues to be my choice, I must ensure that the government has the right to enter and protect the North beaches community without dragging it.
