COVID-19 Vaccination Rollout

The Hon. J.E. HANSON (15:04): Supplementary: I will just ask again, why have mass vaccination clinics been able to be opened in other states but in South Australia such clinics are still months away? Third go.

The PRESIDENT: I am not sure that was in the minister's original answer, but I will ask the minister to proceed if he wishes to.

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (15:05): You are right, Mr President, it wasn't in my original answer. It was in his original trifecta of questions. Indeed, he has asked that question three times and he has lied three times. He has said repeatedly and shamelessly that mass vaccination clinics are months away. That is not true.

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order!

The Hon. S.G. WADE: That is not true. There will be a mass vaccination clinic opened in Adelaide within a month.

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order!

The Hon. S.G. WADE: I am sorry, the opposition clearly doesn't want to hear the answer. I have nothing to add.
