I can assure the Parliament of that. The opposition talks
about cuts in all things, as though it were a fact. Everyone on this side knows
that it is not a fact. The health budget has risen significantly. The budgets
for all our hospitals have risen significantly. But, remember, this is an
ageing facility. That is why we are spending $1.2 billion on a brand-new,
state-of-the-art hospital; we are doing that because the old hospital has
passed its best time.
