Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:12): What methodology is the minister and the department going to use to resolve the outstanding defect issues? Is this going to be left to court proceedings, or is there another mechanism in place and, if so, can the minister outline to the house what that mechanism is?

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Health Industries) (14:12): We're not ruling anything in or out. We are proceeding, obviously, with the court action, but of course we continue to, and we expect the builder to continue to, rectify defects. It is certainly my understanding that the builder continues to rectify defects. The matters continue in the court in parallel with the normal building works.
