Daw Park Site
Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:25): My question is to the Minister for Health. How many and which organisations have lodged an expression of interest for the Daw Park site?
The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Health Industries) (14:26): I just need to remember what I can say publicly. We did put out a press release about it at the time. Perhaps the member for Schubert might help his leader by doing a quick google. A bit of google. Get onto google and look up 'Daw Park expressions of interest repat' and I think you will find the press release there. But I can say, because—
Members interjecting:
The Hon. J.J. SNELLING: I don't know, maybe the member for Schubert is not cooperating with the leader. I don't know. There's not a flow of information there between the member for Schubert and the Leader of the Opposition, but what I can say, and no doubt the member for Schubert can assist if I'm wrong, is there has been—
Ms Sanderson interjecting:
The SPEAKER: The member for Adelaide is called to order.
The Hon. J.J. SNELLING: There has been very strong interest in the site, but most importantly strong interest which complies with what the government said are our conditions on who we partner with on the site, that is, that use be restricted to aged care, veterans and rehabilitation and health-type purposes.

There being a disturbance in the strangers' gallery:
The SPEAKER: I'm sorry, minister. Would the attendant please remove that person who is using flash photography in the parliament and escort him from the building.
The Hon. J.J. SNELLING: What I can say, though, is that there has been very strong interest and we are very, very happy with the interest that has been shown in the site. I do hope that—
Mr Knoll: There is no mention of Daw Park in the press release on the website.
The Hon. J.J. SNELLING: Sorry?
Mr Knoll: The words 'Daw Park' come up with nothing on the website.
The Hon. J.J. SNELLING: Look, I'll find it for you. If you go into www.premier.sa.gov.au, there you will find all the media releases and you will find in there a media release that was put out not that long ago on this exact topic. I don't know. Look, I thought the member for Schubert was very tech savvy. He is very good on the internet, so I understand. He has a lot of experience on the internet, so I am disappointed that the member for Schubert hasn't been able to find a press release that was put out not that long ago, but no doubt—I am happy to help him. Certainly, the interest has been very strong and I am very, very pleased with it.
