Tramline Extension

Dr CLOSE (Port Adelaide—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:58): In that case, I ask the Premier, or anyone on his front bench who chooses to answer: why hasn’t the Minister for Transport and Infrastructure yet released an engineer's report into the right-hand tram turn as he promised to do in October?

The Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER (Morialta—Minister for Education) (14:58): It's an absolute pleasure to get a question in this question time process from the Deputy Leader of the Opposition.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! Minister, please be seated for one moment.

Mr Duluk: Why doesn't Kouts ask?

The SPEAKER: Member for Waite, you can leave for half an hour, please.

Mr Boyer: You can ask him yourself now.

The SPEAKER: Member for Wright, you are on two warnings. We will continue when we have silence.

The honourable member for Waite having withdrawn from the chamber:

The Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER: I don't know what I said, sir. I was being nice—it's been a while. I will check with the minister and bring back an answer to the house.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Would anyone like a question on my left? The deputy leader.
