Eastern Victoria Region
Renee HEATH (Eastern Victoria) (02:04): (1119) My question is for the Premier. Premier, it is now almost one year since you took over the role as leader of our state, and in that time you have backflipped on gas appliances and you have backflipped on increasing the age of criminal responsibility to 14, banning duck hunting, a second injecting room and now cuts to regional and rural hospitals. However, for the time being you continue to press on with the Suburban Rail Loop, which the most recent Parliamentary Budget Office report states now is going to cost $216 billion, and that is just for two sections. Meanwhile, people in my electorate continue to wait for facilities and services that they were promised by the government, like the Pakenham hospital, which was promised 2145 days ago; the San Remo Primary School; the Lang Lang bypass, which is still languishing with no certainty; and there is still no funding for stages 2 or 3 of the Wonthaggi Hospital – and the list goes on. Premier, you have had 12 months in the big chair. When will you finally deliver the projects that were promised by the government to the Eastern Victoria Region?
