Oakden Mental Health Facility

Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:36): Supplementary to the Premier: will the Premier now issue a directive that no minister or their staff shall delete any emails or destroy any documents relevant to the investigation, to ensure that there is no repeat of the circumstances that occurred in respect of the Debelle inquiry?

The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL (Cheltenham—Premier) (14:36): No, I won't be doing that because there will be full cooperation.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The member for Unley is warned.

The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL: Because it would be unnecessary—

Members interjecting:

The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL: That's right—and, I must say, completely unrewarding given the capacity to retrieve any document that now exists through electronic forensic material. What an absurd—

Mr Marshall interjecting:

The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL: Is this the new line of attack? I haven't heard this one before. This is the new line of attack. Very interesting.

The SPEAKER: The Minister for Health is called to order and the leader is warned for the second and final time.
