          <by role="member" id="1813">Mrs REDMOND (Heysen—Leader of the Opposition) (14:30): </by> My question, again, is to the Minister for Health and Ageing. Why did the minister's then adviser now Chief of Staff, Dominic Stefanson, request information from the health department during the caretaker period from the 2010 election campaign in relation to the Liberal Party's plan to rebuild the Royal Adelaide Hospital? The opposition has obtained emails under FOI from minister Hill's then adviser now Chief of Staff, Dominic Stefanson, seeking health department advice on Liberal Party policy.</text>
