Country Cabinet

The Hon. R.L. BROKENSHIRE (15:03): I have a supplementary question based on the minister's answer regarding community country cabinet. Does the minister agree that the Labor government failed to go to community country cabinet meetings until a compact was signed and forced upon them by now minister Brock?

The Hon. K.J. 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) (15:04): I thank the honourable member for his question. I agree with his reflection that the member for Frome is a very good member. He is not just a very good member but he is a very good minister, and he gets things done and makes sure that regional South Australia is heard to an even greater extent within cabinet. I thank the honourable member for his question and agree with him that minister Brock gets things done.
