          <by role="member" id="599">The Hon. J.S.L. DAWKINS (15:13):</by>  A supplementary: I thank the minister for his answer, but will he concede that it may have been more accurate in that document to actually indicate that the Gawler East link road connection at Potts Road had certainly not been determined? It seemed, in that document, to be like it was set in concrete; that's certainly not the case.</text>

MAHER (Minister for Employment, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation, Minister for Manufacturing and Innovation, Minister for Automotive Transformation, Minister for Science and Information Economy) (15:13):</by>  I apologise if the way it's been interpreted is that anything in that document is something that was absolutely set in concrete. Certainly, that document looked at a number of possible projects in the future. We wanted to include as much as we reasonably, possibly could about what may be happening.</text>
        <text id="2016022530fe25abc5a442df80000552">Certainly, it outlined some of the industries—six key industries—that we think will have a great opportunity to grow. That's not to say that there aren't other areas or other industries, and it's not to say everything there is set in stone, but we wanted to try to put as much as we could in. I take the honourable member's point. I am not intimately familiar with the road project, but I will certainly pass on the points that he has raised today to my colleague the Minister for Transport.</text>
