Rate Capping

Mr PISONI (Unley) (14:41): My question is to the Minister for Local Government. Can the minister advise the house if the Local Government Association recently held a public forum in Port Pirie to explain the negative impacts of rate capping and only two members of the public turned up?

The Hon. G.G. BROCK (Frome—Minister for Regional Development, Minister for Local Government) (14:42): Can I get that question repeated? Sorry, I couldn't quite hear it.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The member for Finniss is warned. The member for Wright is warned. It is the duty of the Speaker to intervene to prevent quarrels between members.

The Hon. G.G. BROCK: It is a very good question, in actual fact. Can I make the suggestion that the member for Unley inquires with the LGA regarding whether they had a meeting there and how many turned up.
