Treasurer – Royal Flying Doctor Service

Thank you, Chair. Treasurer, I want to go to an issue that there's been some backward and forward about for many years, and that goes to the Royal Flying Doctor Service. My understanding is that you've signed an exemption for Treasurer's instruction so as to allow for a sole tenderer contract to be issued at over $20 million. What's the rationale for the request for the contract for fixed wing aeromedical services to be given an exemption?

Health – Royal Flying Doctor Service

Minister, I ask you about the MOU which was signed between the Liberal Party of Tasmania and the Royal Flying Doctor Service. Last year in Estimates we did talk about the arrangement between the RFDS with Hobart Airport while the runway upgrade is occurring. I have got a series of questions on this issue. Given that the runway work is now underway, Minister, are you able to give us an update on that work?
