Ambulance Ramping

The Hon. D.J. SPEIRS (Black—Leader of the Opposition) (14:08): My question is again to the Premier. When will the Premier fix ramping? With your leave, sir, and that of the house, I will explain.

Leave granted.

The Hon. D.J. SPEIRS: On 17 February last year, the now member for Elder promised that Labor's priority was ending ramping. On 25 February last year, the now member for Gibson promised Labor would stop the ramping of ambulances. On 25 February last year, the member for Reynell promised Labor would stop ramping of ambulances. On 8 March last year, the member for Hurtle Vale promised that Labor would stop ramping. On 11 March, the member for Badcoe promised to stop ramping.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order, the member for Hurtle Vale! The Premier has the call.

The Hon. P.B. MALINAUSKAS (Croydon—Premier) (14:09): On 17 March, SALibMedia tweeted, 'Peter Malinauskas has admitted he won't end ramping. $4 billion bill and won't end ramping!' Why? Because I was out on the public record—

Members interjecting:

The Hon. P.B. MALINAUSKAS: Why did SALibMedia tweet this on 17 March? Because I was out on the public record making it perfectly clear what South Australian Labor's election commitment was, and that was to fix the ramping crisis so that we would start to see ambulances—

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. P.B. MALINAUSKAS: —roll up on time, which is already starting to occur under the life of this government.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! The member for West Torrens and the member for Chaffey are warned.
