S THE A.C.T., and even the
ACT government, comes to
terms with the widening
gap between the ACT's

environmental dimensions of the
issue - and rightly so.

appalling loss of life and misery for hundreds
of thousands of survivors, may yet stand as
proof of a new human spirit and symbol of

someone actually came right out
and said something like
''Actually, increasing funding to
public hospitals is lower on our
list of priorities than tax cuts; so
we're offering the public lower-
quality health care and an extra
$4 a week spending money.''
