Ministerial Responsibility

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (15:02): My supplementary question to the minister is this: how can the public trust anything you say in the health portfolio when you can't even recall you were briefed; when you checked with your agency and your staff, presumably, one month later, you said you still didn't have that briefing; and now, just last Friday, you told us that you have a system in place when you have been told that you misled this parliament, not once but twice? How can anyone in the public trust you?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (15:03): As I said, I am part of a Marshall Liberal team which is faced with 16 years of mismanagement and a litany of broken Labor proposals. I will not take a sermon from a former member of that government.
