Albury Wodonga Health
Rikkie-Lee TYRRELL (Northern Victoria) (12:19): (174) My question is again for the minister representing the Minister for Health. I am starting to feel like a broken record player, so I can only imagine how the Wodonga City Council is feeling. For the third and final time, I would like to see the minister do her job and grace the council with her undivided attention for a brief 20 minutes. I understand the government’s aversion to discussing its efforts towards the redevelopment of the Albury–Wodonga hospital. However, a conversation with the council to hear what they have to say should not be too much to ask. Is there a reason the minister is avoiding the Wodonga City Council’s request for a conversation?
Lizzie BLANDTHORN (Western Metropolitan – Minister for Disability, Ageing and Carers, Minister for Child Protection and Family Services) (12:20): Thank you, Mrs Tyrrell, for your question, and I will pass it on to the minister for her to respond to in accordance with the standing orders.
Rikkie-Lee TYRRELL (Northern Victoria) (12:20): Thank you for your reply. Can the minister commit to a phone call with the relevant council?
Lizzie BLANDTHORN (Western Metropolitan – Minister for Disability, Ageing and Carers, Minister for Child Protection and Family Services) (12:20): Again, thank you, Mrs Tyrrell, and I will pass that on to the minister for a reply.
