Royal Adelaide Hospital

Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:34): The minister has outlined to the house that the $12 billion will be for the building and building maintenance, but what proportion and what dollar value of the $12 billion is actually for finance costs for this project?

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Health Industries) (14:34): I am more than happy to get a report. The Auditor-General has looked at this deal and given it the tick. The Auditor-General has been over this contract and there have been any number of reviews into this particular contract and they have said that this contract provides good value for money for South Australian taxpayers.

Members interjecting:

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING: But here we go.

The SPEAKER: The member for Unley is warned.

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING: Never change a losing strategy, I think, is the Leader of the Opposition's tactic today.
