I thank the member for the follow-up question. We will announce it when it has gone through the proper process of cabinet; not before. I will tell members one other thing we will do when we announce it: we will give an accurate indication of what it is going to cost and when it will be completed. Do members know what that will be, in the history of the delivery of health infrastructure in this state in the past eight years? Unique, because it never happened on their watch! It never happened. I will tell members what the people of the northern suburbs will not get from us—repeated promises about a vacant block of land in Murdoch. We will deliver through an appropriate process. We will make commitments and we will deliver on them. The people of Western Australia will say, “Thank heavens!”
