Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:20): Can the Premier provide some advice to these tens of thousands of people—the 'relatively small number of people', as he refers to it—about how they can actually call an ambulance in South Australia?

The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL (Cheltenham—Premier) (14:20): I just provided the advice, the standard advice, that is provided by our emergency services agencies, and that is for them to make their way to an emergency services centre—SES, police, ambulance. That is the only practical solution that there is in the circumstances and, if those opposite would like to suggest an alternative proposition, I would be very interested to hear it.
