As we know, things like the Commission of Audit are considered. Indeed, as we canvassed yesterday in this chamber, under the previous government the Henry tax review was considered—apparently, according to the Leader of the Opposition in the Senate, Senator Wong—for six months. So these things are indeed considered.

We will in due course, after consideration, release that report. But can I just point out that when it comes to health it was Labor who cut $1.6 billion from state hospitals in the 2012 MYEFO statement. So perhaps the senator opposite may have had some clearer discussions at the time with her then Labor government about the fact that they pulled $1.6 billion from state hospitals. It is this government that will deliver health. It is this government that will deliver good health outcomes for Western Australia and indeed all of the country. (Time expired)
