Suicide Prevention

The Hon. J.S.L. DAWKINS (15:23): Supplementary: I thank the minister for that. In relation to the program running in Mount Gambier, perhaps the minister can come back at some stage and let me know whether that is being done in consultation with the Treasuring Life South-East group, which is the only Indigenous-based suicide prevention network in South Australia.

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) (15:23): I am happy to bring back an answer. I know it is a program that runs in a number of locations; from memory, in Queensland, Western Australia and in other places. In relation to the particular one in Mount Gambier, I am sure I can reasonably quickly find out, and I might even come back to the honourable member without having to bring an answer back to this chamber. I will probably be castigated for not knowing off the top of my head, given that my mum helped with that program as a social worker at Pangula Mannamurna in Mount Gambier.

An honourable member interjecting:

The Hon. K.J. MAHER: I am sure that with a very quick phone call I can probably find out these answers for the honourable member.
