Petitions

Country Shows

Mr WHETSTONE (Chaffey): Presented a petition signed by 194 residents of South Australia requesting the house to urge the government to reverse the decision to withdraw $40,000 of funding from country shows across South Australia and recognise the importance of providing ongoing financial support to ensure regional and rural shows remain a vital part of local communities.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The Treasurer is called to order.

An honourable member: And warn him.

The SPEAKER: I can't very well warn him if I have not called him to order first.
