          <by role="member" id="4342">Mr VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN (Stuart) (15:00):</by>  My question is for the Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse: why doesn't South Australia operate a dedicated 24/7 drug and alcohol hotline? The National Ice Taskforce's report, released late last year, identified that SA is the only state that doesn't operate a dedicated 24/7 drug and alcohol hotline despite having the highest proportion of treatment episodes related to methamphetamine. There is evidence to suggest that methamphetamine users are not necessarily likely to seek assistance only between 8.30am and 5.00pm.</text>
