SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Health Industries) (14:10):</by>  Limited to what I can reveal to the house based upon the advice from Crown, I would have to get advice on how much information I can get, but I can reassure the house that the Crown's advice to the government is that our legal position is very, very secure. This is, I think it would be fair to say, a bit of a last gasp by the builder, and we are very, very confident with our legal position.</text>
        <text id="20170809b0258286fc7e4e2e90001492">It is important to note, in their taking action against anyone who is involved in the project, including the consortium, Celsus (formerly known as SAHP) and indeed the independent certifier whose job it was to provide advice to the government, that the hospital met all the contractual requirements.</text>
