A claim by the Victorian government that $93 million was cut from Commonwealth hospital funding has been labelled misleading by the federal Health Minister, who says the state itself asked for less money.
The dispute came as the Grattan Institute argued Victoria was getting a raw deal on road and rail spending and would have received an extra $1 billion for transport infrastructure over the next four years if the federal funding allocation matched the stateâs population.
