TARZIA (Hartley) (15:10):</by>  My question is again to the Minister for Infrastructure and Transport. Is the minister aware of any drone activity above or in the vicinity of the Adelaide Airport that may be inconsistent with regulations issued by CASA? With your leave, sir, and that of the house, I will explain.</text>
