          <by role="member" id="3404">The Hon. J.A. DARLEY:</by>  In the last state budget the government proposed the closure of Prospect, Modbury and Mitcham Service SA centres. I understand that part of the rationale behind this proposal was that the need for in-person attendance at Service SA centres had decreased as most of the services were now able to be done online. Can the minister advise which services provided by Service SA will be conducted in person and which services are proposed to be provided online?</text>

          <by role="member" id="1820">The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment) (14:37):</by>  I thank the honourable member for his question. While I am on my feet, as I did not get a chance to do it yesterday, I congratulate the honourable member and wish him a happy birthday for yesterday, for his 82<sup>nd</sup> birthday. I don't know if other members did but it slipped through a bit unnoticed, so I wanted to do it in person.</text>
        <text id="20190516cd09fcabd0c24a4880000102">I thank the honourable member for his ongoing interest in the Service SA centres. As we know, it is an issue that has been dealt with by my colleague, the very hardworking and very capable—as the Treasurer said before—Hon. Stephan Knoll. I will take that question on notice and refer it to him.</text>
