The previous Labor government promised 64 GP superclinics around the country at a cost of more than $650 million. Unfortunately, there was nothing super about the former government's failure to deliver on its promise. You only have to look at the Redcliffe GP superclinic, which was originally a $5 million Commonwealth commitment from those on the other side when previously in government. It took six years and blew out to $13.2 million. This was from those opposite. Senators might like to take a guess at exactly how many clinics the previous Labor government delivered. It is not 50; it is not 40. The previous Labor government managed to deliver only 33 of the 64 clinics—a lot of them in Western Australia. People in Western Australia will know that it is the National and Liberal Senate candidates who should be their choice. (Time expired)
