Train Services

The Hon. L.W.K. BIGNELL (Mawson) (14:58): I have a supplementary to the Minister for Transport. Has the government sold off Renewal SA land at Aldinga, which was planned to be used for a train station for the eventual extension of the line to Aldinga?

The Hon. C.L. WINGARD (Gibson—Minister for Infrastructure and Transport, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing) (14:59): I'm not responsible for Renewal SA. What I do know is that we are building the Fleurieu Connections package and that is what my responsibility is. As I outlined, there is some $560 million to duplicate that road. Of course, we know that, as you get into Aldinga, there is a roundabout there—

Mr Boyer interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order, member for Wright!

The Hon. C.L. WINGARD: —that the locals are absolutely furious about. It was put in by the previous Labor government.

The SPEAKER: Minister, please be seated.

The Hon. L.W.K. BIGNELL: A point of order on relevance: this is about a road. My question was quite clearly about a train line and a train station, which the Minister for Transport quite clearly has responsibility for.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! There is some force in the point of order that has been raised.

The Hon. C.L. WINGARD: I understand why the member is a bit touchy about the roundabout down there at Aldinga that the Labor government built. People don't like it. We are putting in grade separations there. As far as Renewal SA is concerned, I will take that on notice and ask the appropriate minister.
