PEEL
HEALTH CAMPUS — HEALTH SOLUTIONS (WA)
674. Mr
R.H. COOK to
the Premier:
I have a supplementary question.
An opposition member interjected.
The
SPEAKER : Take a seat member for Kwinana. I think I hear another
voice in here. I am still going to give you the call for the supplementary
question, member for Kwinana.
Mr
R.H. COOK : We are not talking about a public announcement specifically. Can
the Premier clearly give me a yes or a no? In conversations with
representatives from Health Solutions or with Mr Tony Solin, did the Premier
describe the redevelopment proposal, as put to him by Health Solutions, as a
no-brainer?

I said—if the member wants
to know—that there is no guarantee.
Ms
R. Saffioti interjected.
Mr
C.J. BARNETT : Sorry, I heard a little giggle down the back. There is no
guarantee. As if a government of Western Australia would conduct its affairs in
that way. I know that is what the Labor Party did. I know that is what it did
with its lobbyists, and that is what it did during its last term in government.
The Opposition was always doing little grubby deals with lobbyists. All of the
opposition members were up to their ears in dodgy little deals with Labor
lobbyists.
Mr
D.A. Templeman : Why don't you start telling the truth? That's
what you need to start doing.
The
SPEAKER: Member for Mandurah, I formally call you to order for the first
time today. Member for Victoria Park, I formally call you to order for the
first time today. Member for Warnbro, I formally call you to order for the
first time today. Now sit down and I will seek another call.
