House of Assembly Fifty-Fourth Parliament, First Session (54-1) 54 1 Parliament of South Australia House of Assembly published Question Time SA Ambulance Service SA Ambulance Service Mr MALINAUSKAS House of Assembly Croydon Leader of the Opposition SA Ambulance Service Mr MALINAUSKAS (Croydon—Leader of the Opposition) (15:08): Thank you very much, Mr Speaker. My question is to the Premier. Premier, who in your government accepts responsibility for the cluster of nine deaths in SA Ambulance late last year? The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL House of Assembly Dunstan Premier SA Ambulance Service The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier) (15:08): Unlike the previous government, we do take responsibility for any adverse incidents within our health system. The entire cabinet takes responsibility and we work through the issues in a diligent way. The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS House of Assembly The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS: Point of order: throughout the 20 questions we have asked the Premier today, the Premier has been referring to a document marked 'cabinet'. He has been referring to it and quoting from it. I ask that he hand it to you for you to have a look at and see if it has been referenced in a debate, and I ask whether that cabinet document and all relating attachments be tabled to the house. Members interjecting: The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: There is a point of order. The member for West Torrens would be well aware that members can refer to documents; if they are reading documents, that would be different. I will have a look at the footage and take up the issue with the Premier, but I don't believe that the Premier was reading word for word or line for line from any document. But if it is a document that does require tabling, I will come back to the house. The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS House of Assembly The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS: Further point of order: there is a long precedent in the House of Representatives— The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: Yes. The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS House of Assembly The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS: —and the House of Assembly that if ministers quote or use cabinet documents in the House of Assembly— Members interjecting: The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: Order! The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS House of Assembly The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS: —they must be tabled. The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: The member for West Torrens is making a whole heap of assumptions here. I will investigate those assumptions and, if the document does require tabling, I will come back to the house. Thank you.
