          <by role="member" id="4697">The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (14:59):</by>  Supplementary: the minister talked about his love for cricket. What does the minister say to the cricket lovers who won't be able to catch public transport as they were planning to this weekend, and does he support the South Australians who are inconvenienced by this shutdown having free access to such public transport?</text>

          <by role="member" id="1820">The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment) (14:59):</by>  It was a long supplementary. As far as I am aware, South Australians will still be able to catch public transport. Of course, we obviously have some issues with the trains that the minister, the Hon. Stephan Knoll, is dealing with, but people will still be able to get to the cricket. The members opposite always used to talk about Adelaide being a very livable city and a very walkable city. Once you get into the city, you can walk down to Adelaide Oval. I am sure any members here will be walking to Adelaide Oval.</text>
        <text id="201812051a35ba3788f24c1580000212">The timing is a little unfortunate, but this is about progress. The arrangements that are in place are there to cater for the public transport needs. I am sure the cricket will be a great success, with capacity crowds, and I hope the Australian team is victorious.</text>
