Peel Health Campus redevelopment
154. Mr David Bolt to the Minister for Health Infrastructure:
I refer to the
initial $152 million redevelopment plan for the Peel Health Campus announced in

region that the project will be completed by the 2027 timeframe?
(2)

I will give the member this guarantee: it will stay in public hands. His side,

Mr John Carey: I mean, it is extraordinary. We should
all just sit down and let the Leader of the Liberal Party give complete monologues

women's shelters, buying second-rate astronauts, blowing travel budgets—

wine!
Several members
interjected.
Mr John Carey: He is doing it again!
Mr Basil Zempilas interjected.
The Speaker: Leader of the Opposition, please stop
interjecting.
Mr John Carey: I want to assure Western Australians
that we are committed to the project at $152 million, to provide the upgrades
that are needed for the Peel region.
