Royal Adelaide Hospital

Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:38): My question again is to the Minister for Health. What is the total cost of the public relations campaign currently underway in relation to the new Royal Adelaide Hospital?

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Health Industries) (14:38): I don't have that on me, but I make no apologies for the government—

Mr Duluk: Wasting taxpayers' money.

The SPEAKER: The member for Davenport is warned.

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING: —providing important information to the South Australian public about our new hospital. When confronted with a barrage of lies and misinformation, it is incumbent upon me—a responsibility I take particularly personally—to make sure that every South Australian has the information that they need about our hospital system.

Members interjecting:

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING: They can bleat all they want, but I will never, ever step back from making sure that appropriate information is provided to make sure that South Australians are not misled by, to be honest, some outrageous lies and misinformation that we have seen.

Members interjecting:

Ms CHAPMAN: Supplementary, sir.

The SPEAKER: I call to order the members for Morialta and Kavel, I warn the members for Schubert and Morialta and I warn for the second and final time the members for Davenport, Morialta and Schubert. Deputy Leader.

The Hon. P. Caica: Fair enough, sir.

The SPEAKER: And I warn the member for Colton.
