I am delighted to inform the house of the tremendous support we get from the RAC through the RAC Rescue 1 helicopter. The state government contributes $5 million a year to that particular rescue helicopter, and it is the only designated — Mrs M.H. Roberts : You haven’t increased it at all. Mr R.F. JOHNSON : A lot of improvements, I assure members. Mrs M.H. Roberts interjected. The SPEAKER : Order, member for Midland! Mr R.F. JOHNSON : The biggest improvement, my friend, is that we are on this side of the house and she is on the other side of the house. What I wanted to share with the house is the fact that RAC Rescue 1 played a very key role in the rescue of a 70-year-old Fremantle sailor on Sunday night as his yacht drifted approximately 24 nautical miles northwest of Rottnest Island. That sailor was Barry Graham, and he was knocked unconscious and injured by a big wave while sailing his 9.5-metre yacht from Mandurah to Rottnest. RAC Rescue 1 is a great helicopter service — Mr A.P. O’Gorman interjected. The SPEAKER : Order, member for Joondalup! Mr R.F. JOHNSON : It has done some tremendous rescue work in Western Australia and it has also given some people some very urgent medical assistance. It works around the clock and we have a dedicated team. I will also share with the house one particular incident which took place not too recently but which we celebrated recently. It involved a young lady by the name of Tisha Grubi who was 24 weeks’ pregnant when she started experiencing contractions and was rushed to Collie District Hospital. I am sure the member for Collie-Preston will be pleased to know that the RAC Rescue 1 helicopter came straight down to Collie hospital and transported Tisha from Collie to Perth. The interesting part, which is a great story if members like kids and good stories — Mr J.N. Hyde interjected. The SPEAKER : Order, member for Perth! Mr R.F. JOHNSON : During the time Tisha was transferred from Collie to Perth, and she was only 24 weeks’ pregnant, she gave birth to a young daughter. What do members reckon her young daughter was named? Skye. Mr F.M. Logan : Sikorsky. Mr R.F. JOHNSON : No. It had to be Skye, didn’t it! Several members interjected. Mr R.F. JOHNSON : The other interesting thing is that story was very — Several members interjected. Mr R.F. JOHNSON : She was in grave danger—please do not laugh. This little baby was in grave danger. She was transferred to King Edward hospital and she weighed in at only 575 grams. However, the other interesting thing is that her official place of birth is listed on her birth certificate as Collie to Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital. That is on her birth certificate.

Mr R.F. JOHNSON replied: I am delighted to inform the house of the tremendous support we get from the RAC through the RAC Rescue 1 helicopter. The state government contributes $5 million a year to that particular rescue helicopter, and it is the only designated — Mrs M.H. Roberts : You haven’t increased it at all. Mr R.F. JOHNSON : A lot of improvements, I assure members. Mrs M.H. Roberts interjected. The SPEAKER : Order, member for Midland! Mr R.F. JOHNSON : The biggest improvement, my friend, is that we are on this side of the house and she is on the other side of the house. What I wanted to share with the house is the fact that RAC Rescue 1 played a very key role in the rescue of a 70-year-old Fremantle sailor on Sunday night as his yacht drifted approximately 24 nautical miles northwest of Rottnest Island. That sailor was Barry Graham, and he was knocked unconscious and injured by a big wave while sailing his 9.5-metre yacht from Mandurah to Rottnest. RAC Rescue 1 is a great helicopter service — Mr A.P. O’Gorman interjected. The SPEAKER : Order, member for Joondalup! Mr R.F. JOHNSON : It has done some tremendous rescue work in Western Australia and it has also given some people some very urgent medical assistance. It works around the clock and we have a dedicated team. I will also share with the house one particular incident which took place not too recently but which we celebrated recently. It involved a young lady by the name of Tisha Grubi who was 24 weeks’ pregnant when she started experiencing contractions and was rushed to Collie District Hospital. I am sure the member for Collie-Preston will be pleased to know that the RAC Rescue 1 helicopter came straight down to Collie hospital and transported Tisha from Collie to Perth. The interesting part, which is a great story if members like kids and good stories — Mr J.N. Hyde interjected. The SPEAKER : Order, member for Perth! Mr R.F. JOHNSON : During the time Tisha was transferred from Collie to Perth, and she was only 24 weeks’ pregnant, she gave birth to a young daughter. What do members reckon her young daughter was named? Skye. Mr F.M. Logan : Sikorsky. Mr R.F. JOHNSON : No. It had to be Skye, didn’t it! Several members interjected. Mr R.F.
