Medical Cannabis

The Hon. S.G. WADE (14:37): Supplementary: as the minister responsible for medicinal cannabis, considering that his Labor colleagues in New South Wales have moved towards GP-based prescription and that his SA Health discussion paper recommends specialist focused prescription, what's his intention?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Employment, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation, Minister for Manufacturing and Innovation, Minister for Automotive Transformation, Minister for Science and Information Economy) (14:37): The government intends to release the results of this discussion paper in due course. I gather the honourable member has just announced a Liberal policy that they will allow GPs to issue medicinal cannabis in South Australia. I thank the honourable member for his one policy so far.

The PRESIDENT: The Hon. Ms Lensink.

The Hon. T.A. FRANKS: Point of order: the Hon. Kelly Vincent has attempted to have a supplementary probably for the last three supplementaries. I think she should be recognised.

The PRESIDENT: I would be the first one to recognise the Hon. Ms Vincent, but it is very difficult with her laptop to see any red light or whatever. I can't see it from here.

The Hon. T.A. Franks: I also pointed.

The PRESIDENT: I wasn't looking at you, I was looking at the contributors. The Hon. Ms Vincent.
