Federal MP Ed Husic admits he questioned how the Gillard government can spend $21.6 million a film but cannot find money for his local hospital.
FEDERAL Labor MP Ed Husic admits to "raising an eyebrow'' on hearing the Gillard government would spend $21.6 million on a Disney film, after he'd lobbied in vain for new equipment for his local hospital.
Prime Minister Julia Gillard yesterday announced the one-off payment to Walt Disney studios, which is remaking the science fiction classic 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea in Australia.

The project would create 2000 jobs in the local film industry, the prime minister said.
But a bemused Mr Husic, whose western Sydney MP seat is under threat in an election year, said he had been trying to get an MRI for his local hospital at Mount Druitt "for ages''.
"I have to say I raised my eyebrows yesterday when I saw that we were giving $20 million to the production,'' he told Sky News today.
"I don't need 20,000 leagues of sea; I need an MRI at Mount Druitt Hospital.''
Mr Husic is a supporter of former prime minister Kevin Rudd and resigned his position as deputy whip during last month's leadership spill triggered by the sacked frontbencher Simon Crean.
After the resignation of two ministers, Julia Gillard has reshuffled her cabinet.
