Women's and Children's Hospital

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (14:46): Supplementary: is the minister aware that Aurecon, which has been engaged today, according to the public announcement by the Women's and Children's Hospital task force, to prepare a business case, was part of the build of the new Royal Adelaide Hospital? If that is the case, does he now endorse the new Royal Adelaide Hospital build?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:46): I have already indicated that I will be taking the honourable member's question on notice.

The PRESIDENT: The Hon. Mr Dawkins, you have the call.

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: This is the opposition's question time. They can work down the clock any way they want.

Members interjecting:

The Hon. T.A. FRANKS: Point of order, Mr President.

The PRESIDENT: It's all members; I appreciate that.

The Hon. T.A. FRANKS: I understand what the President just stated, but perhaps the President might like to rule that it is the parliament's question time, not the opposition's question time.

The PRESIDENT: I appreciate that. I am duly corrected.
