462 MS TIERNEY — To move — That this House — (1) notes that prior to the last election the Baillieu Government made a commitment to build a cancer care centre in Warrnambool by the end of its first term in government; (2) notes that the Baillieu Government, shortly after being elected in 2010, rebadged a feasibility study into a Warrnambool cancer care centre as an ‘implementation study’ and committed to seeing a ‘bricks and mortar’ outcome by the end of its first term; (3) notes that this implementation study was to release its findings in February before it was to be endorsed by the Minister for Health; (4) notes that the implementation study was directed to investigate possible sites for the centre; (5) notes that the Member for South West Coast, Dr Denis Napthine, MP, was quoted in the Warrnambool Standard on 20 December 2010 saying, “The question isn’t whether it is feasible or not, the question is how we are going to implement a cancer centre… is it going to be based at St John of God Hospital or be part of the stage two development of South West Health Care”; (6) notes that almost two years since these comments were made, the South West community and Peter’s Project are still waiting for answers to these questions; (7) condemns the Baillieu Government for stalling on their commitment to have a cancer care centre up and running in their first term of government; and (8) calls on the Government to release all information on the promised cancer care centre.

463 MS TIERNEY — To move — That this House notes that — (1) prior to the 2010 election, the Liberal-National Coalition made an election commitment to build a 32 bed hospital in the South Barwon Electorate; (2) this was an election commitment made by the previous Labor Government and matched by the Liberal Government to the tune of $85 million; (3) two years into this Government’s tenure, no money has been allocated in the Budget for this promise; (4) after numerous calls by the Opposition and the community to fufil this promise, the Baillieu Government has been silent; (5) the Opposition has had to pursue a request for FOI from the Baillieu Government to access information for the many constituents asking when the promised hospital will be built; and condemns the Baillieu Government for breaking its promise of openness and transparency and not providing information on the construction of the 32 bed public hospital it promised. [Notice given on 24 October 2012 — Listed for 2 days].

464* MS MIKAKOS — To move — That this House notes that — (1) the Minister for Children and Early Childhood Develpoment, in response to a question from a Member of the Government on 24 October 2012, claimed that the kindergarten participation rate in Victoria had increased to 97.9 per cent; (2) the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development (DEECD) Report for 2011-12 states that Victoria’s kindergarten participation rate was 94.6 per cent; (3) this is a decline from the 95.1 per cent participation rate published in the DEECD Report from 2010-11; and calls on the Minister to advise the House which is the correct figure for Victoria’s kindergarten participation rate in 2012.
