Select Committee on a Review of the Retirement Villages Act 1987

Adjourned debate on motion of Dr McFetridge:

That the report of the committee be noted.

(Continued from 17 September 2014.)

Mr KNOLL (Schubert) (16:40): Can I say that my two minute contribution today will come on top of my two minute contribution on 2 July and my four minute contribution on 17 September. Alas, I will have a further four minutes of contribution to make at a further point in time. What I reflected on in my last four minutes—

The DEPUTY SPEAKER: You actually have six minutes, member for Schubert.

Mr KNOLL: Except there is only two minutes left of committee business time.

The DEPUTY SPEAKER: I just did not want to cut you off if you wanted to know that you had six minutes; that was all.

Mr KNOLL: In the last sixty seconds, and not to rehash the recommendations that I went over in my previous speech, or to talk about some of the retirement villages as I did in my first speech, I would like to complete listing, or seek to complete in 45 seconds, some of the other brilliant retirement villages in my electorate. There is the Mannum Community Hospital, which I visited. There is a patient there called Joan who could give anyone of us a good elocution lesson. She is a lovely and engaging woman who lives in the part of the Mannum Community Hospital which has 32 low-care beds as part of their Aminya facility, with 13 high-care beds in the hospital itself. I was also lucky enough to visit a resident at the Mount Pleasant District Hospital—

The DEPUTY SPEAKER: So you are going to seek leave to continue your remarks?

Mr KNOLL: —with 13 high care beds. With that, I seek leave to continue my remarks.

Leave granted; debate adjourned.
