Legislative Council Fifty-Fourth Parliament, First Session (54-1) 54 1 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Question Time Ministerial Responsibility Ministerial Responsibility The Hon. K.J. MAHER Legislative Council Leader of the Opposition Ministerial Responsibility The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (15:03): Final supplementary: on all briefings that require the minister's signature, does he actually sign them and return them to the department? The Hon. S.G. WADE Legislative Council Minister for Health and Wellbeing Ministerial Responsibility The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (15:03): The fact of the matter is that whenever a briefing is put to me, I seek to read it and to sign it. The fact of the matter is that many briefings become superseded by later events, and a new briefing is prepared. It is a very broad question. The fact of the matter is that I will continue to diligently discharge my duties, reading a range of briefs. To be frank, not all briefings are to be sent back. For one thing, I have the mountain of parliamentary briefing notes. The fact of the matter is that I will continue to diligently discharge my duties to the best of my capacity, and I am pretty confident that it is going to be better than most members on the other side.
