CADELL FERRY

Mr PISONI (Unley) (15:42): My question is to the Minister for Education and Child Development. When the closure of the Cadell ferry was first discussed in cabinet, why did the minister not advise cabinet of the adverse impact of the ferry's closure on schools, students and parents in the Cadell area, and why did she not consult with the people or the parents of Cadell?

The Hon. G. PORTOLESI (Hartley—Minister for Education and Child Development) (15:42): Thank you to the member for Unley for this question. I repeat what I said I last week. The future of the school was never in question. This government does not close schools; it was you that used to do that.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! Member for Unley, you have asked your question. The member for Bragg.
