 Renee HEATH (Eastern Victoria) (14:16): (2499) Rochelle Halstead and Jess Wilson have committed to investing $350 million into completing the Wonthaggi Hospital redevelopment, which was promised by the Labor government but which they have not delivered. My question for the Minister for Health is: will you do the same? A resident from just outside Wonthaggi recently contacted me. They have been forced to travel to Melbourne to receive treatment that they should be getting closer to home. They have asked: when is it that this government will take taxpayers in the Bass electorate seriously so they do not have to keep paying for things within the tram tracks – the Suburban Rail Loop and all the other things that you have forced them to pay for – and when will they get their fair share?
