Oakden Mental Health Facility

Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:50): A further question to the Minister for Mental Health: what confidence then can the families of Oakden victims have in anything the minister now says, given that her directives have been ignored, the worker is still employed, there is no information about what other families have been informed and, according to Mr Stewart Johnston, there has been the complete shutdown of communication from the minister's office, contrary to her promise?

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING: Point of order: this is just debate and nothing else. The question contains a series of assertions which are up for debate. The question was pure debate and I ask you to rule it out of order.

The SPEAKER: The question is highly rhetorical; whether it is out of order I will determine upon seeing it in printed form if the deputy leader will bring it to me. Meanwhile, we shall go to the member for Kaurna.
