SNELLING: I'm surprised that this should be news to the opposition. They have obviously been half asleep for the last three weeks. We have already made quite clear that we will not be doing anything to the site without consultation with veterans. I would expect that consultation to be led by the Veterans Advisory Council.

I would anticipate that there would be a great deal of interest for that site being used for a health, veterans, aged-care type facility, and certainly the government would be very open to that, but the only plans we have in place so far are that we will be engaging with veterans about the future of the site. Members interjecting: The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: Before the leader asks his next question, I warn the members for Hammond and Adelaide for the first time and the member for Heysen for the second time.
