Given that we have this increase in numbers, when will it reopen? When you have an answer, can you letterbox that to the electorate to let them know?</text>

The office is open for appointments, by appointment, and as we have seen in the last month the numbers doubling, as demand increases it will be appropriately staffed. But we will make sure that the good people of the south know exactly what the member for Dunstan, the member for Mitchell and the Hon. David Ridgway, who once held ambitions for running in the seat of Waite, which is in the south, but he has ruled that out as a bit too much hard work, but we will make sure that the good people of the south know what he thinks of them as well.</text>
