          <by role="member" id="4338">Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:27):</by>  My question is to the Minister for Mental Health. Given that the Independent Commissioner Against Corruption has indicated that his investigation into the Oakden older persons mental health facility will deal with matters back to 2007, will the minister now acknowledge that limiting the terms of reference of the Chief Psychiatrist's review into Oakden to only 2016 was an attempt to hide the failings of this government?</text>

          <by role="member" id="1812">The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL (Cheltenham—Premier) (14:27):</by>  The question is transparently a nonsense because the Chief Psychiatrist didn't limit his inquiry in relation to the matters that occurred in relation to the incident in October. He undertook, as he was charged to do, a thoroughgoing investigation and was not limited to the incident itself but looked back to the whole history of the management of the institution. The minister sought to embark on a broad inquiry which was always going to be public and made public. It is a nonsense to suggest that her actions were in any way directed at limiting the inquiry. Indeed, the inquiry itself is the complete negation of the proposition that has been raised by the Leader of the Opposition.</text>
