Service SA Modbury

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens) (15:02): My question is to the member for Newland. Has the member for Newland written to the Minister for Transport and Infrastructure regarding the closure of the Modbury Service SA?

The Hon. S.K. KNOLL (Schubert—Minister for Transport, Infrastructure and Local Government, Minister for Planning) (15:03): He's only been here for 21 years.

The SPEAKER: Please get on with it, minister.

The Hon. S.K. KNOLL: Well, can I say, once again, that the member for Newland is also a fantastic local member of parliament, and members on this side of the house do not hesitate in coming to discuss with me issues that exist within their local community.

The Hon. A. Koutsantonis interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The member for West Torrens!

The Hon. S.K. KNOLL: They are great advocates who fight on behalf of their local communities, and what they've got is a government that listens and a minister who listens—

Ms Bedford interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The member for Florey is called to order.

The Hon. S.K. KNOLL: —and a government that delivers on its election commitments, and it does so—

Ms Bedford interjecting:

The SPEAKER: And warned.

The Hon. S.K. KNOLL: —by running a strong, fiscally responsible budget that means that we can deliver on the election commitments that we took to the people of South Australia in March 2018. Yes, we've got some difficult decisions to make. We do not shy away from those, but what we have are great advocates on behalf of their local communities who are working with this government to deliver for the people of their electorates.

The SPEAKER: The 32^nd question for the opposition, member for West Torrens.
