ROYAL ADELAIDE HOSPITAL OPEN IDEAS COMPETITION

Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (16:43): Supplementary to the Deputy Premier, sir.

The SPEAKER: Supplementary, deputy leader.

Ms CHAPMAN: Of the over 100 submissions received for the RAH site, how many propose that you leave a hospital there?

The Hon. J.R. RAU (Enfield—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General, Minister for Planning, Minister for Industrial Relations, Minister for Business Services and Consumers) (16:44): I thank the honourable member for that question. There were 126 of them, not just 100, so let us not be measly about this. The second thing is, under the rules of the competition, the only people who get to see the entries are in fact the judges, and I am not a judge, my ministerial colleague, minister Koutsantonis, is not a judge and, by the sound of it, the member for Bragg is not a judge either.

The SPEAKER: The Deputy Premier will not refer to members by their Christian and surname.

The Hon. J.R. RAU: I see. Well, in that case, I will refer to the Minister for Transport. I am sorry, Minister for Transport, for referring to you inappropriately.

The Hon. A. Koutsantonis interjecting:

The Hon. J.R. RAU: Okay. The Minister for Transport is not on the competition judging panel and the member for Bragg, I understand from her question, is not either. What happens—the member for Bragg will be interested—is that these competition entries are kept in a deep cone of silence. Nobody looks at them. I do not look at them. The Premier does not even look at them. Then they go to these expert people, who then do look at them and assess them. Now, whether they have incorporated anything to do with a medical facility in there is something that, when the drum rolls in a day or two's time and those six finalists come out from behind the curtain, the honourable member will be able to answer her question. Until then, I cannot help you, but I gather from the question that you are anticipating this as much as I am.
