Independent MP Andrew Wilkie has questioned Opposition Leader Tony Abbott's judgement in making a $1 billion offer to rebuild the Royal Hobart Hospital, describing it as "almost reckless".
Mr Wilkie yesterday announced he would support Prime Minister Julia Gillard's attempt to form government because he believed Labor would better be able to offer a stable, competent and ethical government.
