The site was chosen primarily because of its connection to the Swan River (Derbarl Yerrigan), Heirisson Island (Matta Gerup) and Kings Park (Katta Koomba), which are places of cultural significance to the Noongar people.

MARK MCGOWAN, WA PREMIER: Thank you for joining us. Can I, first of all, acknowledge the traditional owners of the land upon which we meet today, the Whadjuk people of the Noongar Nation, and their elders, past, present and emerging. And can I thank Barry for his excellent welcome to country. And can I thank the members of the Whadjuk Cultural Authority who are here with us today. We've done an enormous amount of work in getting to the point that we're at this point in time.

I might go to you first, Pat Gorman, because you've been in the rough and tumble of a Prime Ministerial office, namely Kevin Rudd's.
ALLISON LANGDON, HOST: The COVID peak may be over for WA, but the health system is still in a state of crisis. Perth public hospitals have been forced to declare more than 500 Code Yellows in the past year. And for more we're joined by Federal Member for Perth, Patrick Gorman. Nice to see you this morning, Patrick. I know a lot of this comes down to capacity, right?
