Extinction Rebellion

The Hon. D.J. SPEIRS (Black—Leader of the Opposition) (14:02): My question is to the Deputy Premier. Has the Deputy Premier met with Extinction Rebellion? With your leave, sir, and that of the house, I will explain.

Leave granted.

The Hon. D.J. SPEIRS: On 1 June, Extinction Rebellion tweeted, and I quote, 'South Australia is the first state to adhere to Extinction Rebellion's first demand.'

The Hon. S.C. Mullighan interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The Treasurer is called to order.

The Hon. S.E. CLOSE (Port Adelaide—Deputy Premier, Minister for Industry, Innovation and Science, Minister for Defence and Space Industries, Minister for Climate, Environment and Water) (14:02): No, I have never met with Extinction Rebellion. I say that, acknowledging that my good friend and colleague the minister for infrastructure, mining, transport and for various other good things has offered to meet with them, but I don't believe he has been successful.
