Question Time

Ambulance Ramping

The Hon. N.J. CENTOFANTI (Leader of the Opposition) (14:41): I seek leave to make a brief explanation prior to addressing a question to the Attorney-General, as Leader of the Government in this place, regarding broken election promises.

Leave granted.

The Hon. N.J. CENTOFANTI: The Australian Medical Association's 2025 Ambulance Ramping Report Card revealed that the total number of hours ramped outside South Australian hospitals has almost tripled under Labor, rising from 15,329 hours ramped in 2019-20 under the former Liberal government to 45,399 under the now Malinauskas Labor government. My question to the Leader of the Government is: will the Malinauskas Labor government fix ramping and, if so, when?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector, Special Minister of State) (14:42): I appreciate that the honourable member still has difficulty understanding what ministerial responsibility is for in this place—

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order!

The Hon. K.J. MAHER: —but I do note that times for different codes in terms of taking people to hospital have come significantly down.

The PRESIDENT: Attorney, I couldn't hear the answer to—

The Hon. K.J. MAHER: I have given an answer, sir.

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order! The honourable Leader of the Opposition and the honourable Deputy Leader of the Opposition, come to order! The honourable Leader of the Opposition, your second question.
