The first thing, and I think that it is important to get this on the public record, is that the way in which the Courts Administration Authority decides to expend its money is a matter for them.</text>

          <by role="member" id="1810">The Hon. J.R. RAU:</by>  There appears to be a Tourette syndrome sufferer in the back corner. The situation is that the Courts Administration Authority is able to do whatever it wants with its funds. It has made its own decisions—presumably, as I read the release put forward by the Chief Justice, after due consideration—that all of the services can be adequately delivered to these people using alternative venues, for example, the City of Adelaide or Murray Bridge, both of which are reasonably proximate to Mount Barker. We are also examining a range of other ways in which we can have even easier access using technology to various opportunities for people to engage with the justice system.</text>
        <text id="2014091673b5ed54716643fd80000706">I will be releasing, I expect before the end of the year, a very high-level justice plan document, which will explain a whole range of initiatives, which will actually add up to a better delivery of service across the state. Obviously, I am very happy to discuss those matters in the parliament when that document is released.</text>
