Ambulance Ramping

Mr PICTON (Kaurna) (14:50): My question is to the Premier. By when will the Premier ensure ramping at our public hospitals ends?

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier) (14:50): This is a very important question because there is a huge amount of work which needs to be done to undo the mess we inherited from the previous government.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL: Those opposite say, 'Three years.' Well, let me tell you, I don't think there is a single South Australian who supported Transforming Health. It was a complete and utter unmitigated disaster.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL: I have not seen one person opposite the entire time say, 'I was responsible for Transforming Health and we're going to reinstitute it at the next election.' If it was such a great policy, why aren't they out championing it?

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL: No, I have never seen anybody backpedal so quickly. I have never, ever seen anyone backpedal so quickly.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! The Premier will resume his seat. The member for West Torrens on a point of order.

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS: Standing order 98: this is debate, sir.

The SPEAKER: I uphold the point of order. I will move along. Is there a member seeking the call? The member for Kaurna.
