Women's and Children's Hospital

The Hon. D.J. SPEIRS (Black—Leader of the Opposition) (14:36): My question again is to the Premier. Does the $3.2 billion price tag for the Premier's favourite new Women's and Children's Hospital site include costs for decommissioning—

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS: Point of order, sir.

The SPEAKER: There is a point of order, leader, which I will hear under 134. The Leader of Government Business on a point of order.

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS: There is clearly debate in that question, sir.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order, member for Morialta! Member for Schubert! Leader, I give you an opportunity to rephrase. I give the leader some latitude, as I do the Premier.

The Hon. D.J. SPEIRS: Thank you, and I appreciate that latitude, sir. My question is to the Premier. Does the $3.2 billion price tag for the new Women's and Children's Hospital include all costs consequential to the decision?

The Hon. C.J. PICTON (Kaurna—Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:37): Thank you—

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! The question has been asked. Now we turn to the answer.

The Hon. C.J. PICTON: It includes the same basis of those costs as was in place for the previous costings.

The Hon. J.A.W. Gardner: We didn't have to rebuild the police barracks.

The SPEAKER: The member for Morialta is on three warnings. The minister has the call.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The member for West Torrens! Treasurer, order!

The Hon. C.J. PICTON: It includes the same basis as was in the previous government's plan. We now know that cost had gone from $1.95 billion to $2.8 billion.
