          <by role="member" id="4841">Mr PICTON (Kaurna) (15:02):</by>  My question is to the Premier. Has the Premier received any advice raising concerns in relation to the extension of Emergency Management Act provisions in relation to the State Coordinator's powers, creating legal risks over COVID-19 directions in South Australia?</text>

          <by role="member" id="4338">The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier) (15:02):</by>  I think I addressed this in the last question, but I am happy to go over it again. Of course, cabinet sought advice in the lead-up to making this decision. You would have seen in the last week or so we have made some other arrangements with regard to the taking of oaths and also telepharmacy, which were previously covered under that piece of legislation, so we have been progressively working through the things that we have needed to keep in place. To answer the member's question again, we received that advice and, on balance, we formed the opinion that we didn't require it going forward.</text>
