          <by role="member" id="1821">The Hon. G.E. GAGO:</by>  The honourable member says that's bizarre. I find it incredible. These are business interests and industry interests in regions that drive an outcome. This government is often accused of being very heavy-handed and very bureaucratic, and when we actually encourage businesses to get together in a way that is meaningful and meets their own local needs the honourable member criticises. </text>
        <text id="201505130cc714540b574872b0000147">I think the opposition just want to have a good whinge here today. They are just whingeing. They are obviously incredibly embarrassed about their federal Liberal colleagues, terribly embarrassed about the federal Liberal budget that rips the heart and soul out of South Australia and leaves us high and dry, They are clearly incredibly embarrassed and are coming here today, having a good old whinge and calling us names.</text>
