Health Workers

Mrs HURN (Schubert) (14:59): My question is again to the Minister for Health and Wellbeing. What action is the government taking to ensure that all health workers right across the health system are supported? With your leave, sir, and that of the house, I will explain.

Leave granted.

Mrs HURN: On 17 October, it was reported in The Advertiser that the latest offer to medical specialists had sent a clear message that unions which run ads telling people how to vote are well paid and that unions that merely advocate for their members and the public are not.

The Hon. C.J. PICTON (Kaurna—Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (15:00): Once again, I reiterate my answer from the previous question that this flows from the negotiations that happened in February under the previous government. So, if the member is reflecting that that was not well paid, well, that's a matter she can raise with the Hon. Stephen Wade and Rob Lucas.

Mrs Hurn interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!
