Ministerial Responsibility

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (15:00): Supplementary question arising from the answer: does the minister stand by his statement that he continues to read and digest all the briefings his department give to him?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (15:00): I continue to diligently discharge my ministerial duties, and I am stressing the magnitude of the task. Much of the neglect of the former Labor ministers is now being sheeted home to this government. I would remind honourable members that the former minister for health, who refused to be frank about the budget blowout referred to in the Auditor-General's Report, is now the Leader of the Opposition in the other place. The minister who failed to tell the people of South Australia about the accreditation failures of the Central Adelaide Local Health Network was the former minister for health, now the Leader of the Opposition in the other place. It is appalling for this opposition to come in and hold us accountable at the seven-month mark for a disaster that they created over 16 years.
