HOSPITALS — STAFFING
876. Mr M. McGOWAN to the Premier:
I have a supplementary question. How can the Premier waste
thousands of dollars on a spin bus at a time when health workers are losing
their jobs? What sort of warped priorities does the Premier operate under?

AnswerView source ↗

The cost of the bus, which is providing virtual-reality
images of major projects, particularly hospitals, around the state is being
strongly endorsed. The cost of that, I would suggest, would be less than the
cost of a single employee.
Several members interjected.
The SPEAKER : That
question is finished; the member for Forrestfield has the call.
