Ms Bourke directed a question to the Hon. Mr Wade about his chief executive attending a Liberal Party fundraiser at the Robin Hood Hotel on 22 October 2013. The honourable minister took that question on notice.</text>
        <text id="20191127d0b373f6aaa345d4b0000389">1.&amp;#x9;Will the minister confirm that his Chief Executive of SA Health, Dr Chris McGowan, has also attended at least a further three Liberal Party fundraisers: one with Tony Abbott on 3 July 2013, one with Peter Dutton on 20 February 2013 and one with Malcolm Turnbull on 23 June 2017?</text>

          <by role="member" id="3164">The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:41):</by>  I thank the honourable member for the question. Considering that I myself have been misquoted by members of the opposition earlier today, I am certainly not going to take their word for other statements of Dr McGowan. I will persist in what I have already undertaken to do, which is to take it on notice.</text>
