ROYAL ADELAIDE HOSPITAL

Mr HAMILTON-SMITH (Waite) (14:35): I am just recovering from the thought of the member for Finniss in a pair of budgie smugglers, Madam Speaker.

The SPEAKER: We all are.

Mr HAMILTON-SMITH: My question is to the Treasurer. Does the Auditor-General have the powers he needs to audit all aspects of the Royal Adelaide Hospital PPP throughout its construction and operation, or does the government intend to avoid his scrutiny?

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Treasurer, Minister for Employment, Training and Further Education) (14:36): I have no reason to think otherwise.
