          <by role="member" id="4842">The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN (Lee—Minister for Transport and Infrastructure, Minister for Housing and Urban Development) (14:50):</by>  I think the member for Unley is confused. What he is referring to is a response given by the department to a media inquiry about the progress of the Torrens to Torrens works, their impact on access arrangements to certain parts of the Croydon suburb and whether those Torrens to Torrens works were having any impact on the rail operations.</text>
        <page num="12095" />
        <text id="201711154de1f91b84be4df590000504">As we now understand, the response given by the department was solely in the context of the Torrens to Torrens works. They were asked a direct question and they answered directly. I think where the misconstruing has been taken since is that it has been conflated with an adjacent major project, which is the Torrens Rail Junction Project.</text>
