          <by role="member" id="2742">The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (14:30):</by>  I note that I did ask these questions twice. But can the minister here and now answer the question as to how many staff are employed at the centre and is it open to the public every day?</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) (14:30):</by>  I thank the honourable member for her question. From the best of my memory there are—and I will check this and bring back a more complete answer—two or three staff employed. The centre is open as needed, as you would expect it to be, and the staff are working on other things and other projects in the department if they are not at the centre. But we won't give into the demands from the member for Mitchell, from seemingly the people he set up in this chamber to do his bidding, because apparently he wants his office back. We are not going to close it down. We are not going to hand it back to the member for Mitchell. We want to provide services to people in the south and we know these services will become important in the future.</text>
