ROYAL ADELAIDE HOSPITAL

Mrs REDMOND (Heysen—Leader of the Opposition) (15:37): I have a supplementary question. Is the Treasurer prepared to table the legal advice so that we can see exactly what legal advice was given on this question, because the legislation is perfectly clear?

The SPEAKER: You can choose to answer that if you want, Treasurer. I think it was a statement more than a question.

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Treasurer, Minister for Employment, Training and Further Education) (15:38): I have to get advice on that, but the advice to us is quite clear. There is no ambiguity about it. It is not covered, as has been said by me and the former Treasurer. The project is not required, because of the way that it has been financed, as a PPP, to be submitted to the Public Works Committee for inquiry.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! The member for Torrens.
