Coronavirus, Parafield Cluster

Mr PICTON (Kaurna) (14:36): My question is to the Premier. Why did SA Health not hand to SA Police the contact tracing evidence of the 36-year-old Spanish man at the centre of Operation Protect?

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier) (14:36): As the member would be aware, a task force was set up by South Australia Police to look at all the evidence that existed with regard to this situation. This was a very well-resourced investigation. It was headed by Assistant Commissioner Peter Harvey. They concluded their investigation and made their statement public yesterday. They do not believe there was sufficient evidence that would lead to a successful criminal prosecution in this instance.
