Labor in, Life expectancy up

Is it any surprise that life expectancy has gone up after Labor was voted into power?

The latest comparative study of the nation’s overall health by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) – the government body responsible for compiling health statistics – shows that a baby born in Australia today can expect to live for 81.4 years, with men expected to live for 79 years and women for almost 84. Australians’ life expectancy is bettered only by the Japanese at 82.2 years.

Sad thing is, if the Libs had won, several websites who shall remain nameless would have linked the two, and gloated about the health giving benefits of Australia’s now second favourite party.

Yep.

Them’s logic for ya.
