Transport Subsidy Scheme

Ms COOK (Hurtle Vale) (14:15): My question is obviously a supplementary to the previous response. Will the minister today provide a guarantee to all South Australians currently using the SATSS vouchers and living with a disability that the scheme will continue beyond 30 June to ensure satisfactory transport arrangements?

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. S.K. KNOLL (Schubert—Minister for Transport, Infrastructure and Local Government, Minister for Planning) (14:15): I think I spent four minutes trying to answer that question.

The Hon. A. Koutsantonis interjecting:

The SPEAKER: That's true, member for West Torrens.

The Hon. S.K. KNOLL: We are working on the best way to deliver a solution in this space. There are a number of moving parts, including negotiations with other states and territories to push the NDIA and the federal government to also make decisions in this space, but we will work towards a solution that delivers a great outcome. What we won't do is stand here and be lectured by those who created the problem in the first place.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Before I call the Leader of the Opposition, I call the following members to order: the member for Light, the member for Torrens and the member for Badcoe. The Leader of the Opposition has the call.
