Royal Adelaide Hospital

Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:09): My question is to the Minister for Health. Has the government issued another major default notice to the consortium, and has the government sought any legal advice in relation to the termination of the contract?

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Health Industries) (14:10): Yes, we have issued subsequent default notices to the consortium. With regard to terminating the contract, we are reserving all our rights. At this stage, I think it would be pretty unlikely, but let me make very clear—

Mr Marshall interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The leader is called to order. He asked the question. So far, there is nothing out of order in the minister's reply.

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING: Let me make very clear, the government reserves all its rights.
