Labor has pledged $250 million dollars to reduce hospital waiting times for elective surgeries, part of the Party's $2.8 billion 'Better Hospitals Fund'. It comes after Opposition leader Bill Shorten announced free healthcare to those needing cancer treatment while addressing the Party faithful in the marginal New South Wales seat of Reid on Sunday. The marginal seat of La Trobe in Melbourne is expected to be the next stop of Mr Shorten's whirlwind election campaign. Image: News Corp Australia
