Well, it’s official. The Calvary sale has fallen through because one of the stakeholders (the Catholic Church) didn’t support it. Someone didn’t do their homework when setting this up.
Labor’s not happy – presumably because they aren’t used to their plans going astray. They say they’re now in a bind.
The Greens should have been breathing a sigh of relief. They had started asking for a full inquiry into hospice services (sorry, I can’t find a link for that), and many assumed they were starting to look for a way to cave into Labor (again) without loosing too much face. But no, in an amazing display of respect for property rights, they want to force a take-over, by compulsory aquisition.
