Adelaide Railway Station Information Centre

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens) (14:31): My question is to the Minister for Infrastructure. Will the state government continue to fund and operate the Adelaide information centre located in the Adelaide Railway Station?

The Hon. C.L. WINGARD (Gibson—Minister for Infrastructure and Transport, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing) (14:31): Again, I did outline this to the member before. I'm happy to repeat it again. As part of this contract, what we have done is we are keeping control. The government still owns all the trains, all the tracks, all the stations.

The SPEAKER: Order! The minister will not respond to interjections. The minister has the call. The minister is entitled to be heard in silence.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order, the deputy leader!

The Hon. C.L. WINGARD: —and I can only give you the same answer.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! I will give the leader an opportunity to ask a supplementary question.
