Question Time

Ambulance Ramping

The Hon. J.S. LEE (Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:27): I seek leave to make a brief explanation before asking a question of the Leader of the Government in this place regarding the safety of South Australians.

Leave granted.

The Hon. J.S. LEE: It has been two years since the Malinauskas government was elected on the back of a promise to fix ramping, yet Labor has delivered the worst ramping in the state's history, where 4,285 hours were lost in one single month, being November 2023. A total of over 82,000 hours were lost on the ramp before this government's two-year anniversary, more than the accumulated hours of the entire four-year term of the former government, which was during a global pandemic. My question therefore is—a very simple question to the Leader of the Government—is the government still committed to fixing ramping like it promised the people of South Australia at the last election?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector) (14:28): The government is committed to all of the things that we outlined in the lead-up to the election.
