Visitors

The SPEAKER: Before we get to question time, I would like to welcome guests here with us at parliament today. We have Bedford employee Ryan Clarke and his family, who are the guests of the member for Black. It is great to have you in here Ryan, and really good to see you. We also have UniSA teachers, and they are here as guests of the education officer of the parliament. It is great to have you in here.

We also have years 8 and 9 students from Kangaroo Island Community Education, who are my guests and the best-behaved kids who have ever been into parliament, as they always are from Kangaroo Island. Thanks so much guys for coming in. We had a great chat and it was really interesting to get your perspectives on the algal bloom and how it is affecting fishing, surfing, being in the water and stuff like that. As we talked about, we are in uncharted waters and hopefully we can all work together to come up with some solutions heading forward.

I really want to single out young James, who reminded me of that time I scored an excellent goal at Penneshaw Primary, when James was in reception. I hit the ball into the ground and it bounced up and went through for a goal. I am glad the only coordinated sporting moment in my entire life has etched itself into your memory, James, so thank you for reminding me of that. I was there with the Deputy Premier, who was then the education minister. I am starting to feel a little old when the reception kids are in year 8 now. So thanks again for coming in, and give my regards to the island when you get back there.
