The Eiffel Tower was constructed of 18,000 separate pieces of steel which weighed more than 7,300 tonnes. It has 2.5 million rivets holding it together, all inserted by hand. It is 324 metres high, has 81 storeys and is known the world over. I do not think anybody in this chamber could disagree that it is a significant construction project. It only took two years, two months and five days to construct—less time than the Cockburn GP Super Clinic.
So the history of ill-thought-through policy on the run from this government continues. The history of mismanagement continues. The previous Labor government were unable to deliver for the people in this nation. It is this coalition government that will deliver health services to people across the nation where they are needed.
