SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Health Industries) (14:29): No, I didn't. The Minister for Mental Health is not a junior minister to me; she's a full cabinet minister. She is responsible to the cabinet. She doesn't report to me. She has full authority and responsibility for the actions she takes in the portfolio. It would not be appropriate for me to go to another minister and seek a briefing regarding things that are entirely their responsibility. The Minister for Mental Health doesn't report to me; she reports to the cabinet.
