Do you believe Smith would ever make this decision like this.
It took Kenny until hospitals were overwhelmed to make that decision.

The rest almost doesn’t matter
The royalty review matters because a competent government would’ve done what every party does when they campaign on dumb things. They could’ve reversed their course. When the federal Liberals campaigned on removing the GST, they bailed on that, because it was the sensible thing to do.
