I thought it would be evident to most people in this place that it is not a simple process. We've got to have access to the vaccines. We've got to have the rollout of the GP-led respiratory clinics in South Australia and, of course, also the pharmacies. These are not even the responsibility of the state government but, rather than chipping away and trying to undermine the confidence that the people of South Australia should have in this important national endeavour, we are just getting on with it. Let me tell you, sir, when I am speaking to people—</text>

They feel proud to live in a state that has had to work together in partnership to deliver an outstanding result for our state. I don't see people stopping me in the street, saying, 'Why haven't you achieved 11,000 rather than 9,000?' There is none of that.</text>
        <text id="20210316a433af7c6857474780000560">People are grateful that they are being led by a very good health administration, SA Police and a cabinet that is absolutely united in putting the people of South Australia first. That has been our approach since day one of this pandemic and I am happy to put our results here in Australia, and more specifically in South Australia, up against any other place in the world. We now live in the safest state in the safest country. That is something that all South Australians should have pride in, and I think that they do. It is a pity those opposite don't want to get on board.</text>
