I heard Mr Kaine say, and I must say that I was amazed, that we could not afford the third hospital. What a joke. Who does he think is going to pay for the third hospital that will be built under their plan? Does he think that the developers are going to build it here just for fun? Does he think that the developers like the people of Canberra so much that they are going to provide the hospital for free? What does he think this is? This is about a private hospital being imposed on the people of Canberra which the people of Canberra will have to pay for. They are the ones who are going to have to generate the profits. It is not being given to us as a free grant. This is about somebody coming here to make a profit out of the people of Canberra. They are the ones who will have to pay for this expensive private hospital.
No more charades; the game is up. The game is up and it is about time that we returned to this place a decent government which will deliver services for the people of the ACT. The Residents Rally party will not have anything to do with that. They have been shown to be dishonourable and they will be discharged from their duty of representing the people of the ACT. There is no doubt about that. They will be discharged for good reason - because they have been seen to be dishonourable. Their recognition factor is high because the people always wake up to the dishonourable ones. They are gone, and for good reasons.
Mr Kaine cannot take too much credit from all of this, because he is the captain of the ship, as it slowly sinks, and he is the one who has administered the Liberal philosophy on the people of Canberra, and all of the mismanagement that goes with it.
Mr Speaker, this is the end of a shameful era. Labor will be working hard to make sure that we return some honour to this Assembly. That is why, Mr Speaker, there is a notice to ensure that this Chief Minister falls at the first opportunity. We can no longer stand in this community a Chief Minister at the head of a government which has done so much damage and which has a commitment to do more damage.
Debate interrupted.
