Sittings and Business

Ms DIGANCE (Elder) (14:02): I give notice that on Thursday 7 August 2014 I will move that this house condemns Prime Minister Abbott's government for undermining our national healthcare system that has been carefully constructed over decades by successive governments both Labor and Liberal—

Members interjecting:

Ms DIGANCE: —that the house note the tearing-up of the national healthcare reform agreement, shifting costs into the states; the proposed introduction of a GP co-payment, effectively a tax on visits to the local doctor; the proposed introduction of an increased gap on tests and investigations, effectively a tax on those taking responsibility for their own health; and the repudiation of the federal government's responsibilities in primary and preventative health care.

Members interjecting:

Ms DIGANCE: I urge the house to call on the federal government to honour the national agreement and reverse the dramatic cuts and also abandon the proposed increases and new charges imposed by the federal budget.

The SPEAKER: Before I call the member for Heysen, I call to order the deputy leader, the member for Chaffey, the member for Kavel and the member for Hartley. It is highly disorderly to interject while a member just reads out a notice of motion, even though it contains some argumentation. The member for Heysen.

Ms REDMOND (Heysen) (14:03): I give notice that on Thursday 24July 2014 I will move that regulations entitled Housing and Urban Development (Administrative Arrangements) (Riverbank Authority) Regulations 2014 be disallowed.

The SPEAKER: Are there any more notices of motion?

The Hon. A. Koutsantonis interjecting:

The SPEAKER: I call the Treasurer to order.
