Royal Adelaide Hospital

Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:44): Will the minister commit to coming back to this house and telling us how much the new hospital is going to cost us and what the comparable cost is at the existing Royal Adelaide Hospital?

Mr Wingard: Come on; tell South Australia.

The SPEAKER: The member for Mitchell is called to order.

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Health Industries) (14:45): I am more than happy, but of course, if you're getting more, it's going to cost more. If you're getting a better hospital, yes it's going to cost more. You are getting a brand new hospital. The opposition would have us still down at the eastern end of North Terrace. They're not interested in upgrading our health infrastructure. They are health Luddites.

An honourable member interjecting:

The SPEAKER: I uphold the point of order. The leader.
