Legislative Council Fifty-Fourth Parliament, Second Session (54-2) 54 2 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Question Time Coronavirus Coronavirus The Hon. E.S. BOURKE Legislative Council Coronavirus The Hon. E.S. BOURKE (14:22): My question is to the Minister for Health and Wellbeing regarding public health. What modelling is the South Australian government using and relying on when developing the COVID-19 response? Is it using modelling that has been generated in South Australia or in other jurisdictions? The Hon. S.G. WADE Legislative Council Minister for Health and Wellbeing Coronavirus The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:22): The primary modelling that we are relying on is the modelling that is coming up through the national cabinet, because the national cabinet is, if you like, a manifestation of state, territory and commonwealth collaboration on at least three levels. There is the Communicable Diseases Network Australia, which advises the AHPPC—both of those bodies have state and territory officials on them. Obviously, the national cabinet also has representation from every state, territory and the commonwealth. The national cabinet has commissioned modelling, which was released last night. Certainly, there have been pieces of research done in South Australia on a whole range of aspects of the coronavirus, but considering that the strategy that has been implemented in South Australia has been done in a collaborative way with other states and territories, it would be fair to say that the most significant modelling that impacts on our policy is that which is coming through the national cabinet.
