Personal Explanation
Mount Gambier Hospital
The Hon. C.J. PICTON (Kaurna—Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (16:58): I seek leave to make a personal explanation.
Leave granted.
The Hon. C.J. PICTON: Yesterday, in the other place, the Hon. Ben Hood MLC made an allegation that on 6 September I made a direction to the Mount Gambier hospital regarding its treatment of patients. The allegations were also published by the Hon. Ben Hood MLC on his public social media. This is an outright lie. It is completely untrue. It is defamatory.
I invite the Hon. Ben Hood to withdraw and apologise for this allegation, both in his chamber and on social media. If he will not do so unequivocally I will consider my further options.
