Dr SOUTHCOTT (Boothby) (13:59): I rise to speak about the South Australian Labor government's decision to close the Repatriation General Hospital in my electorate. This will disadvantage veterans and it will disadvantage residents of the southern suburbs. I encourage those people to join the 12,000 people who have already signed on the online petition at savetherepat.com. The SPEAKER: Order! In accordance with standing order 43, the time for members’ statements has concluded.
