The Hon. J.J. SNELLING House of Assembly Playford Minister for Health Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse Minister for the Arts Minister for Health Industries Nurse Staffing Levels The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Health Industries) (15:06): It will depend on what happens with the commonwealth and if the commonwealth persists in its $655 million cuts to our public hospitals. If the Leader of the Opposition cares the least about our nurses and our doctors, he will have the guts to stand up to Tony Abbott for once, rather than being Mr Wobbly. Mr MARSHALL House of Assembly Mr MARSHALL: A further supplementary, sir. The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: I think it would be best—before the leader asks (and I am going to give him his question)—if the minister withdrew the term 'Mr Wobbly'. The Hon. J.J. SNELLING House of Assembly The Hon. J.J. SNELLING: If the Leader of the Opposition takes offence, of course, sir, I withdraw. The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: It would certainly be unparliamentary in Rajasthan. Leader.
