Gayle's Law

The Hon. C. BONAROS (14:54): I seek leave to make a brief explanation before asking the Minister for Health and Wellbeing questions regarding Gayle's Law.

Leave granted.

The Hon. C. BONAROS: On the last sitting day of parliament, 12 September, the minister made a ministerial statement outlining the government's position on Gayle's Law recommendations currently under review by the Legislative Review Committee. During that statement, he said:

Yesterday, the Legislative Review Committee withdrew its holding motion on regulations made under the Health Practitioner Regulation National Law (South Australia) Act 2010, more commonly known as Gayle's Law.

He went on to say, 'I look forward to reviewing the committee's report in due course.' My question to the minister is: has the minister, any member of his staff or anyone else in the Marshall Liberal government had discussions with the Chair of the Legislative Review Committee, or any other member of that committee, regarding its deliberations to date? Has the minister, any member of his staff or any other staff member of the Marshall Liberal government been made aware of the draft recommendations of the committee?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:55): Of course I have discussions with members about matters of public concern, and Gayle's Law is one of those. I have not seen the final report of the committee and neither have any of my staff.

The PRESIDENT: The Hon. Ms Bonaros, a supplementary.
