Wendy LOVELL (Northern Victoria) (12:57): (1410) My question is for the Minister for Health. When will the minister release the documents regarding the Albury Wodonga Health redevelopment that were ordered by the Legislative Council on 6 March 2024 to be tabled by 27 March 2024? This Thursday is the one-year anniversary of this house unanimously passing my motion requiring the government to produce documents related to the Albury Wodonga Health hospital redevelopment. The motion gave the government three weeks to comply, but it has been 12 months and the Parliament has still not received what was ordered to be produced. This was a contentious development from the very start, and there were immediate questions about the decision to build in Albury and whether the development could meet future needs. The refusal to provide what should be public documents tells me that this decision could not be justified and that the case to redevelop Albury is seriously flawed. Why is the Allan Labor government hiding the truth from the people of Wodonga and Albury? The 300,000 Victorians – (Time expired)
