SA Health, ICAC Report

Mr MALINAUSKAS (Croydon—Leader of the Opposition) (14:05): When yesterday?

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier) (14:05): I don't have the exact time. We are very pleased to establish—

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL: —an interagency task force to look at this issue because we want to get on with it, as I have already outlined to the house. We take the ICAC commissioner's report on SA Health extraordinarily seriously and that's why we have acted very decisively to establish an interagency task force to look at this report and to report back to the government before the end of the year.

I have asked Jim McDowell, who is the Chief Executive of the Department of the Premier and Cabinet, to chair the task force, but we will have representatives from other agencies who will be on that task force. We have mentioned some of those agencies, but of course the chair is at liberty to invite others to participate.

We want to fix SA Health. It was in an appalling state when we took over government. Many of the issues that were raised by the ICAC commissioner would be very familiar to the Leader of the Opposition, very familiar to the member for Kaurna and very familiar to the entire Labor opposition. That is why we are not going to be sweeping these issues under the carpet, like the previous government did. We have tabled the report in full—

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL: —as quickly as we possibly could and now we are going to be working through those issues. I am very happy that we are taking decisive action and we are getting on with fixing the mess that we inherited from those opposite.

The SPEAKER: Before I call the Leader for the Opposition, I call to order the following members: the member for Lee; the member for Hurtle Vale, and I warn her; the member for Wright; the Minister for Innovation and Skills; the member for Waite; the member for Playford; and the member for Kaurna.
