    Reckon the effort to rebadge the co-payment as a "value signal" will work about as well as the belated effort to rebadge Workchoices in '07.

        @trentyarwood @BernardKeane It seems to be nothing more than the Coalition's pathetic attempt to rebadge/sell their despised "price signal"

        @BernardKeane It's been said a zillion times, but why is a "value signal" essential 4 health (despite t/Medicare levy) but not 4 pollution?
