ROYAL ADELAIDE HOSPITAL

Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg) (14:22): I have a supplementary question for the Minister for Health, who indicates that he has reported back to the house. Minister, will you then explain, as you and the Treasurer have both indicated you would, why you and the Treasurer were not told about the missing USB for nine days, at which the Treasurer appeared outraged and about which he told us he would give us an answer?

The Hon. P.F. CONLON: Point of order, Madam Speaker: even though the point is consequential because they have all the questions, it is not a supplementary question.

The SPEAKER: I uphold that point of order. I thought exactly the same. I will consider that a question.

The Hon. J.D. HILL (Kaurna—Minister for Health, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse, Minister for the Southern Suburbs, Minister Assisting the Premier in the Arts) (14:23): This is an interesting ploy by the opposition. It shows how their minds work: a USB stick was responsible for holding information that was given to The Advertiser and the ABC yesterday, there was a USB stick missing a year ago (I cannot remember exactly when), so somehow there is a connection between USBs. I understand that the two leaked documents that the Premier referred to were both on paper, therefore, maybe paper is a problem. This is just trivialising the issue. I am happy—if the member for Bragg, who is obviously in some competition with the shadow minister for health over who should be the spokesperson on health—to go through the files. I cannot recollect exactly what the details—

Ms Chapman: Read the Hansard.

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. J.D. HILL: I am happy to go back and have a look at what was said at the time and, if we have not provided all the information that the former deputy leader has requested, I will happily provide it.
