South Australian Regional Organisation of Councils

Mr GRIFFITHS (Goyder) (15:01): The house is aware as part of its business practices that the Minister for Road Safety is attending the meeting in Clare of SAROC next week because the minister has sought leave of parliament for that afternoon.

The SPEAKER: What is the question?

Mr GRIFFITHS: The question was: why is it that the Minister for Local Government and Regional Development has not undertaken the same process or is attending the meeting?

The Hon. G.G. BROCK (Frome—Minister for Regional Development, Minister for Local Government) (15:01): I was checking my diary to ensure if it was in my diary. It is not in my diary at this particular point; however, if that is the case, I will apply for leave from this house if it is granted, if I am given a pair, to attend that meeting.
