QuestionView source ↗

I have a supplementary question. The Premier promised to fix the health system and he has not. Why should anyone believe what he says about Princess Margaret Hospital? Why should anyone believe him? Dr G.I. GALLOP

AnswerView source ↗

Is that the Leader of the Opposition who was on the path to privatisation in the late 1990s? Is that the Leader of the Opposition who told us before the 1996 election that Alinta would not be privatised? The Leader of the Opposition should not lecture the Government of Western Australia about credibility in politics.
