House of Assembly Fifty-Second Parliament, First Session (52-1) 52 1 Parliament of South Australia House of Assembly published Personal Explanation Personal Explanation Valedictory Speech VALEDICTORY SPEECH Mrs REDMOND House of Assembly Heysen Leader of the Opposition Mrs REDMOND (Heysen—Leader of the Opposition) (17:58): I seek leave to make a personal explanation. Leave granted. Mrs REDMOND House of Assembly Mrs REDMOND: It is really not of any great moment; it is just because I like to be as accurate as I can and I want to make it clear to the parliament. In the valedictory speech that I gave on 25 November, just as we were closing the session for last year, I mentioned two things in which I made an error. One was that I referred to a cut for the funding for library services in this place. That was what I had been told was occurring, but I found out subsequently that there was no cut; it was just that someone who was employed and had gone on maternity leave had a fill-in replacement and that replacement was being moved. So I want to correct the record as far as that goes. In the same speech, I also referred to a state debt of $8.6 billion and I want to correct the record, because in the forward estimates the state debt will not indeed reach that level; it will reach $7.5 billion, but the figure of $8.6 billion was actually a figure for what our state exports have gone down to since this government has been in power. At 18:00 the house adjourned until Wednesday 9 February 2011 at 11:00.
