GARDNER (Morialta) (15:01):</by>  My question is to the Deputy Premier. Is the Deputy Premier aware of dust and dirt covering homes and businesses around the Villawood housing development in Marino, Kingston Park and Seacliff and, if so, what steps has she taken to address it? With your leave, sir, and that of the house, I will explain.</text>

CLOSE (Port Adelaide—Deputy Premier, Minister for Climate, Environment and Water, Minister for Industry, Innovation and Science, Minister for Workforce and Population Strategy) (15:02):</by>  It's nice to have a question issued on behalf of a candidate for the federal election which is almost entirely inaccurate. The question has presumably been launched in my direction because of the EPA, and because Nicolle Flint had written a letter to me—which I have replied to, so the question was slightly out of date—but the point of the question is that it's about a development in the City of Marion, which was approved by the City of Marion and for which the City of Marion is responsible for dust management through legislation passed by this house some years ago.</text>
        <text id="20250402e03bdca30a02406580000437">The member for Black has similarly let me know that this is an issue, but of course understands and appreciates that this is not something that the EPA has any licensing for, any regulatory responsibility for, and that this is something, properly, that needs to be addressed in a respectful and thoughtful way with the City of Marion. I am certain that the member for Black, who understands how government operates, has been doing that.</text>
