MADAM SPEAKER: Order! Questions without notice.

Mr Hanson interjecting—

MADAM SPEAKER: Order! I would like to hear Ms Lawder’s question, Mr Hanson

MS LAWDER: Thank you, Madam Speaker. My question is to the Minister for Health. Minister, on Sunday, 1 May 2016 were patients turned away from Canberra Hospital due to a lack of access to reticulated oxygen?

MR CORBELL: No, no patients were turned away for that reason.

MADAM SPEAKER: A supplementary question, Ms Lawder.

MS LAWDER: Minister, have incidents such as a lack of oxygen or other basic supplies occurred in the past six months?

MR CORBELL: No.

MADAM SPEAKER: A supplementary question, Mr Hanson.

MR HANSON: What are you doing to make sure that basic supplies, including oxygen, are always available at the Canberra Hospital?

MR CORBELL: They are.

MADAM SPEAKER: A supplementary question, Mr Hanson.

MR HANSON: Minister, can you check your records and come back to this place to confirm that no oxygen has been found in short supply that has led to patients either not being admitted or being turned away?

MR CORBELL: Yes.

Lake Burley Griffin—foreshore development

MR SMYTH: My question is to the minister for tourism and economic development. Minister, I refer to a report in the Canberra Times of 15 April this year that you had held meetings with major hotel developers in Hong Kong regarding sites on the Kingston Foreshore and the city to the lake precinct. Minister, what issues were raised with developers during these meetings and what commitments did you give at these meetings?

MR BARR: There may have been an error in that report in that those meetings took place in China and Singapore and these are sites that will be publicly available for auction sale through the Land Development Agency in coming months.

MADAM SPEAKER: A supplementary question, Mr Smyth.
