Kangaroo Island

The Hon. T.T. NGO (15:10): A supplementary to follow up the question asked: has the Treasurer been to Kangaroo Island previously?

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer) (15:10): Yes, I have been previously, but if the import of the question is: have I been since this last budget or indeed since the election? No, I have not. But I understand seven or eight of my outstanding ministerial colleagues—if I read an answer to a particular question previously—

The Hon. J.A. Darley: I'm waiting for Frank's bridge.

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS: Well, that's right, if there's a bridge, the Hon. Mr Pangallo bridge, it will be much easier for everybody. But, no, I have not had the opportunity. At some stage I am sure I would be delighted to get there, but seven or eight of my colleagues, I understand, including the Minister for Tourism, have been there—

The Hon. D.W. Ridgway: Absolutely, several times.

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS: He's been there several times and others have been there. So Kangaroo Island can rest assured that it has a full court press, if I can use a basketball phrase, from the Marshall Liberal government in terms of attention to the particular needs of the Kangaroo Island community.

The PRESIDENT: The Hon. Mr Ngo, do you have a further supplementary?
