SOUTH ROAD UPGRADES

Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:44): I have a supplementary question, if I may. Given the minister's answer in relation to the time frame for the project now being two to three years (or it could be a bit longer), will the minister tell us when it is expected that it will be finished, also given that the funding from the federal government will be paid to 2019?

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens—Minister for Transport and Infrastructure, Minister for Mineral Resources and Energy, Minister for Housing and Urban Development) (14:45): I thought everyone knew that Nation-building Funds was over five years. Has it just come to the realisation of the opposition? Has it only realised yesterday and today that Nation-building is funded over a five-year period? I find it stunning that after 11 years of opposition, with less than a year to the election, the opposition still does not know how federal funding works. This just shows the level of laziness and ineptitude of members opposite. Make a decision.

Members interjecting:

Ms CHAPMAN: Point of order, Mr Speaker.

The SPEAKER: Is your point of order that that was debate?

Ms CHAPMAN: Clearly, this is debate, yes.

The SPEAKER: Yes, I agree with you.
