The Hon. T.A. FRANKS (14:39): Supplementary: when the minister clarifies how many authorised prescribers there are in South Australia from the federal information, will he provide a list to the chamber of those authorised prescribers?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Employment, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation, Minister for Manufacturing and Innovation, Minister for Automotive Transformation, Minister for Science and Information Economy) (14:39): I thank the honourable member for her supplementary question. I am happy to go away and take advice about whether that is something that can be done. I don't know what the privacy or other rules are around prescribers.

The Hon. S.G. Wade: If they are authorised, they are authorised.

The Hon. K.J. MAHER: I am happy to go and ask and find out.

The PRESIDENT: The Hon. Ms Lensink.

The Hon. S.G. Wade interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order! The Hon. Ms Lensink has the floor.

The Hon. S.G. Wade interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: The Hon. Mr Wade will desist.

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: The honourable members will desist. Have a little respect when your colleague is on her feet to ask a question.

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Will you two gentlemen like to go outside and continue this while the Hon. Ms Lensink asks her question?

The Hon. J.M.A. Lensink: I need the minister here actually: it's his question.

The PRESIDENT: Well, you stay, Hon. Mr Wade.
