MAHER:</by>  Repeatedly in media appearances and in parliament today, the Premier has referred to further modelling on top of Doherty Institute reports that have been provided to national cabinet upon which the state's COVID-ready road map has been based. My questions to the minister are:</text>
        <text id="20211027e2e7932b7bd5466790000023">1.&amp;#x9;Has the minister fully read and considered all these further reports on top of the national cabinet Doherty Institute modelling?</text>
        <text id="20211027e2e7932b7bd5466790000024">2.&amp;#x9;Exactly what are these further reports?</text>
        <text id="20211027e2e7932b7bd5466790000025">3.&amp;#x9;What information is contained in these further reports that the COVID-ready road map has relied upon?</text>

          <by role="member" id="3164">The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:21):</by>  As the honourable member would be well aware, the Premier has indicated that the South Australian government is relying on both the national cabinet Doherty modelling and also Doherty material prepared specifically for South Australia. The Premier has also indicated that we will continue to seek further modelling as the plan progresses.</text>

        <text id="20211027e2e7932b7bd5466790000027">In relation to the honourable member's question about whether I have read the Doherty material, I have read the Doherty material, but I must admit I am not a scientist. There was much I didn't understand and that's why I am relying on the evidence, the science and the expert advice of the Chief Public Health Officer, Nicola Spurrier.</text>
