What is so unusual about having old pages live on a website but unlinked?

What about the list of "our achievements"? - dozens of pages, linked straight from the main page, setting out in detail, in the present tense, all about the "Howard government" and what it "is doing" and "will be doing in 2009" on all the topics of interest? Could do better. Oh really?

A relative in her 60s recently needed treatment for a clot in her leg following hip replacement surgery. North Shore Private (where the original op was done) was full so she was admitted to RNSH. Following further surgery she was placed in a mixed ward with a shared bathroom (i.e. both male and female patients). The bathroom was in a filthy state, with faeces on the toilet seat - it was like this on Friday evening and STILL in this state on Saturday arvo. When a relative asked the registrar whether the bathroom could be cleaned, and some orthopaedic equipment found for the patient, he replied "I'm not a cleaner or an engineer you know". He also gave the patient incorrect info about her op, and told her that her doctor had said she could go home that evening - untrue. When she was finally transferred to NSP, she almost copped a double shot of meds because the dose RNSH had given her was not entered on her meds chart. Scary!!

There they all are on the Libs website - J.Howard MP, Prime Minister; P. Costello MP, Treasurer, A.Downer MP, Foreign Minister; Ruddock, Abbot, the list goes on. And its still there, two hours after crikey went to print and nearly 5 months since any of it was true. Helloooo, libs, anyone home?? Wow - that’s a classic!
