that everybody else did. Have a look at page 3 of Mr Hudson,s report. He will tell you where he got the information. It came from 44 submissions that were directed to him. It had nothing to do with the information that we had to hand; he got 44 submissions. But, of course, Mr Moore will not concede that, because Mr Moore is absolutely obsessed with this particular problem and he cannot get out of the hole that he has dug himself into. I will conclude, Mr Speaker - - -

Mr Berry: It is going to be a pain in the neck for you for a long time.

MR KAINE: Mr Berry epitomises the Labor Opposition - do nothing, do not make any decisions, do not face up to the problem - - -

Mr Berry: We do not close schools, and we promised we would not.

MR KAINE: You could not make up your mind about the hospital; you could not make up your mind what to do about the $7m that was overspent; you dither and you always hope that if you do nothing the problem will go away. The problem will not go away. This Government has dealt with it. This Government has had the fortitude to face up to the issue. We have done it. The decisions will stick, despite your assertions that they will not. The decisions will stick, and in a year,s time you will get no benefit whatsoever out of this pantomime that you have been going through. You will get no benefit for your pantomime and your posturing and your hypocrisy - none whatsoever.

MR SPEAKER: The time for the discussion has expired.
