House of Assembly Fifty-Fourth Parliament, First Session (54-1) 54 1 Parliament of South Australia House of Assembly published Question Time Service SA Service SA Ms BEDFORD House of Assembly Florey Service SA Ms BEDFORD (Florey) (14:16): This was by way of a supplementary to an answer that the Minister for Transport gave earlier. My question is to him, the Minister for Transport. As you approach this mythological future time when you believe you can deliver the same or better services for future SA customers, what criteria will be used to target centres in the staggered approach you are not denying by your answers to the questions of the leader today? The Hon. S.K. KNOLL House of Assembly Schubert Minister for Transport Minister for Planning Service SA The Hon. S.K. KNOLL (Schubert—Minister for Transport, Infrastructure and Local Government, Minister for Planning) (14:16): I thank the member for Florey for the question. I do believe there is a degree of it being hypothetical but, regardless, I will try to answer the question. The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN House of Assembly The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN: Point of order: the remedy for a complaint about a question which is purportedly not in order is to raise a point of order, not to debate the matter in an answer. The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: I believe the minister said there may be a degree of a certain type of answer. He is close to the edge, I agree, but I will hear his answer. Let's get on with it. The Hon. S.K. KNOLL House of Assembly The Hon. S.K. KNOLL: I suppose I didn't need to get my chief to buy me dinner in order to ask him that question.

KNOLL: —the taxpayers a dime. The Hon. A. Koutsantonis interjecting: The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: The member for West Torrens is called to order. The Hon. S.K. KNOLL House of Assembly The Hon. S.K. KNOLL: But, member for Florey, if the question that you are asking is: are we going to make sure— The Hon. S.C. Mullighan interjecting: The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: The member for Lee is called to order. Members interjecting: The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: Order! Come on, let's get on with it. The Hon. S.K. KNOLL House of Assembly The Hon. S.K. KNOLL: If the question is are we going to make sure that those alternate service delivery pathways are in place in the areas where the Service SA centres are closing as a matter of priority, then I think that is a very high consideration on our agenda.
