SA Health, ICAC Report

Mr MALINAUSKAS (Croydon—Leader of the Opposition) (14:28): My question is to the Premier. Why didn't the Premier just take the time to read the ICAC report before developing the government's response?

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier) (14:28): It's interesting: yesterday, the opposition were talking about why we didn't respond faster; today, they are talking about why we didn't respond slower.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL: As I have already outlined to the house, our response wasn't yesterday.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! The member for Badcoe is warned for a second time.

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL: We established a mechanism for informing the government towards our response to this document yesterday. We had ample time to read the document before we established our position to establish the interagency task force.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The member for Badcoe can leave for the remainder of question time.

The Hon. A. Piccolo interjecting:

The SPEAKER: You can leave as well, member for Light. The Premier has the call. Come back for grieves.

The honourable members for Badcoe and Light having withdrawn from the chamber:

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL: We had ample time to read the report. It was only around 60 pages, plus appendices. I read the report and formed the opinion that the best way to inform the government to take action on the contents of the report was to establish an interagency task force—

Mr Picton: But you hadn't read it.

The SPEAKER: Member for Kaurna!

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL: —and that is exactly and precisely what I did.
