MALINAUSKAS (Croydon—Premier) (14:06):</by>  I would have to again take that question on notice. There are probably hundreds of people working on this project. As you would probably expect, as Premier of the state I don't know the name of each and every of the individuals working on the project, but I would take the opportunity to thank them for their hard work. There's a lot that's happening—a lot that's happening.</text>
        <text id="20250515f9d89c23009d46e990000286">Let me enlighten the Leader of the Opposition: of the thousands of people who will work on this project through the course of its design and construction, someone will resign. Someone will resign and move on to new opportunities. More people will come on board. The Leader of the Opposition points to somehow people resigning seeming to insinuate that that is a problem with project. I am not too sure what that says about him, though. Imagine a project with hundreds of people and having some occasionally resign versus having a team of 14 which people continually quit. It is a line of questioning I would invite the Leader of the Opposition to contemplate.</text>
