ROYAL ADELAIDE HOSPITAL

Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (15:19): My question is to the Minister for Health. Will the radioactive material currently stored in the basement of the Royal Adelaide Hospital be transferred with the staff and patients to the new rail yard hospital, if it is ever built?

The Hon. J.D. HILL (Kaurna—Minister for Health, Minister for the Southern Suburbs, Minister Assisting the Premier in the Arts) (15:19): It is good to see that the opposition still clings to the belief that we should have the national radioactive waste dump in South Australia. That was their platform; that was their strategy; that is what they want to do. What we want to do is to look after our own waste and to look after it safely.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!
