          <by role="member" id="1804">Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (15:06):</by>  I have a further supplementary question. Has the minister recommended to his department to relocate any departments—you have responsibility for a number of accommodations for departments—to any other urban or regional part of South Australia?</text>

KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens—Minister for Transport and Infrastructure, Minister for Mineral Resources and Energy, Minister for Housing and Urban Development) (15:06):</by>  I do not have that detailed answer here. I do not tell departments unless cabinet decides, because obviously it needs to be done through a tender process, but the government chooses to have representation in regional communities, as we should. The regions deserve to have services available to them, whether they are transport services, health services or education services. Obviously, we try to disperse as many of those services as we can across regional South Australia. I will get you a detailed answer, but I do not have that here with me.</text>
