The Hon. F. PANGALLO (15:17): Supplementary arising from the answer: can the minister explain what will happen to the vaccine clinic at the Wayville Showground during the period of the Royal Show? Did the government take into consideration that the venue was likely to be used for that event?

The PRESIDENT: Minister, that's a fairly loose fit from your answer, but I will let you respond.

The Hon. F. Pangallo: Well, he did talk about—

The PRESIDENT: No; I have allowed the minister to respond.

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (15:18): I am happy to answer, but I must admit I can't see any element of that question that relates to any element of my previous answer.

The Hon. F. Pangallo interjecting:

The Hon. S.G. WADE: The COVID-19 vaccine? Okay. So that was—

The Hon. F. Pangallo: You spoke about the program.

The PRESIDENT: Order! Let's have the response.

The Hon. S.G. WADE: I will let the President consider the standing orders. I am happy to make the point that SA Health of course knew that the Showground might be used for a show. In that regard, we are having positive discussions with the Royal Show Society.
