I thought perhaps dozens of times, Senator Mason—thank you for the interjection—I thought at least a few. Do you know how many? None. Not once. She has not mentioned, not raised, the Murwillumbah hospital situation, which is a crisis, once. She is the local member; she may well have a ministerial portfolio, but she is the local member. What makes this particularly interesting is that during the campaign in the run-up to the election last year, the local Labor member for Richmond, Justine Elliot, had significant advertising with this very simple message: ‘Labor will fix our hospitals. Kevin Rudd and Justine Elliot working together.’ Guess what? People believed it.
