I'd like to update members on the progress of some of our important local projects in our Boothby, in no particular order. The urgent care clinic at Marion opened in November last year and has already seen over 3½ thousand people. That's 3½ thousand people who didn't have to go to Flinders ED. We've opened an endometriosis clinic at Glenelg, and that's life changing for so many women. We've reopened, after redevelopment, the reserves at Weaver Street, Ballara Street and Hawkesbury Avenue, which have been completely transformed into green spaces with exciting playgrounds and community facilities. I was present at the turning on of the tap for the City of Marion's off-farm water efficiency project. South Australians will remember opposition leader David Speirs selling us up the river on the Murray-Darling Basin Plan when he was environment minister, instead of standing up for South Australia's interest. Shame!

Last week we announced the site of the community battery in Edwardstown, the first of many in Boothby, I hope. And we recently turned the sod on the new Eden Hills scout and Rotary hall. We're replacing halls that literally had highlighted holes on the floor so children didn't fall through them. The Majors Road on/off ramp, which will take thousands of cars off Brighton Road every day, is underway. Marion Road and Cross Road tram overpasses are about to start, and we've got new beds opening at Flinders and Repat hospitals. What have I forgotten? Tax cuts for every taxpayer.
