Fool us once, shame on you; fool us twice, shame on us. Try to fool us a third time, then your vote count drops on Saturday 25 March 2023.
Clarence Valley Independent, 1 February 2023, excerpt:
The unveiling of the master plan for the $264 million redevelopment of Grafton Base Hospital (GBH) has been described by Des Harvey of the Grafton Base Hospital Community Committee (GBHCC) as a miniscule step forward.
“The Minister and others might think it’s a major step, but in our opinion, there is still no funding other than just a mention of funding,” he said.
“There is a promise of $263.8 million, but that has been around for too many years.
“We’ve also had a promise that construction will commence before March 2023, and we know that’s not going to happen.
“We’re still talking about planning.
“In my opinion, and that of many people I speak to in the community, the planning really was completed back in 2015, and that’s the reason that the government was able to come up with a figure of $263.8 million, so they knew specifically how many nails, screws and alike were involved in the job…..
“But as far as I can see, there is no money in the budget for it, and until there is money in the budget, nothing happens,” he recalled.
