Members interjecting:

The Hon. J.M. GAZZOLA: That's alright. It's their question time.

The PRESIDENT: That's right. You are only wasting your opportunity to ask questions, and I am sure the crossbenchers have a few questions they want to ask.

The Hon. J.M. GAZZOLA (14:39): I seek leave to make a brief explanation before asking the Minister for Science and Information Economy a question about STEM.

Leave granted.

The Hon. J.M. GAZZOLA: The South Australian government recognises the importance of engaging young people and raising their awareness of STEM careers. Can the minister inform the chamber what initiatives are currently happening to raise the awareness of STEM careers in South Australia?

The Hon. G.E. GAGO (Minister for Employment, Higher Education and Skills, Minister for Science and Information Economy, Minister for the Status of Women, Minister for Business Services and Consumers) (14:39): I thank the honourable member for his most important question. I am happy to take that on notice.
