AnswerView source ↗
She continues to call it a thought
bubble, but it came from clinicians.
Several members interjected.
The SPEAKER : Order, please!
Ms A. SANDERSON : It came
from clinicians and from the Australian Medical Association. Is the Leader of
the Liberal Party saying that it is an AMA thought bubble?
Ms L. Mettam : Have you
abandoned it—yes or no?
Ms A. SANDERSON : Nothing has changed in the government's
position. I cannot be more clear about that. Nothing has changed in the
government's position on the maternity hospital, including
consideration of a small facility at QEII. Nothing has changed—nothing.
