KordaMentha

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (14:31): Supplementary by way—

The PRESIDENT: Just ask the supplementary.

The Hon. K.J. MAHER: —of clarification for him: will Mr Mark Mentha and Mr Chris Martin be full-time public servants exclusively working for SA Health, or will they be working as public servants as well as carrying on other work with KordaMentha for other clients?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:32): I apologise; I did not find that clarifying at all. What I will try to answer—

The Hon. K.J. Maher: You lied on Tuesday!

The PRESIDENT: That is unparliamentary; I ask you to withdraw. You accused the minister of lying—please withdraw.

The Hon. K.J. MAHER: I withdraw the statement that accused the minister of lying.

The PRESIDENT: Thank you, Leader of the Opposition.

The Hon. K.J. Maher: You didn't tell the truth on Tuesday!

The PRESIDENT: Leader of the Opposition, don't try my patience on the last day.

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Minister, sit down. This line of questioning is finished. The Hon. Ms Bourke.

The Hon. R.P. Wortley: You got away with that easily.

The PRESIDENT: Don't test my patience, the Hon. Mr Wortley, either.
