Legislative Council Fifty-Second Parliament, Second Session (52-2) 52 2 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Question Time Yorke and Mid North Planning Review Forum YORKE AND MID NORTH PLANNING REVIEW FORUM The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK Legislative Council YORKE AND MID NORTH PLANNING REVIEW FORUM The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (15:36): I take it that the minister is not going to answer any of my questions, but is he going to confirm whether there is any funding on the table for any of these projects, or is he just paying lip service? The Hon. R.P. WORTLEY Legislative Council Minister for Industrial Relations Minister for State/Local Government Relations YORKE AND MID NORTH PLANNING REVIEW FORUM The Hon. R.P. WORTLEY (Minister for Industrial Relations, Minister for State/Local Government Relations) (15:37): I find that quite extraordinary. For a minister to go out to a region and listen to various reports and various issues that arise and are concerns out there and to be then basically accused of paying lip service, I find that quite bizarre. I actually enjoy going out to the regions. I actually do a lot of touring of the regions to find out what issues are important to them out there and, when cabinet does meet and we do discuss various issues of infrastructure, water power, our youth leaving the state, I have a much greater knowledge to be able to participate in those discussions.
