          <by role="member" id="5418">The Hon. C. BONAROS:</by>  This Thursday marks the one-year anniversary of the death of 16-year-old teenager Paddy Ryan who, as I have said before in this place, died of heart failure minutes after inhaling gas from a barbecue gas cylinder at a house party in his home town of Port Lincoln. Paddy, as I have said before, was a good kid who made a silly mistake, as thousands of kids do every day.</text>
        <text id="20210216b03e8f575f8d43c7b0000219">Since then, his dad, Adrian, and their family have been leading the charge to have warning labels put on LPG cylinders—a very simple change to save other victims and spare other families the same unspeakable pain and loss they have had to live with every day. Of course, there is a current proposal before parliament aimed at doing just that. My questions to the Treasurer are:</text>
        <text id="20210216b03e8f575f8d43c7b0000220">1.&amp;#x9;Have you, your office and/or your department been made aware of any other deaths or injuries caused by inhaling LPG since Paddy's tragic death last year?</text>
        <text id="20210216b03e8f575f8d43c7b0000221">2.&amp;#x9;Has SafeWork SA been made aware of any deaths or injuries and, if so, how many?</text>
        <text id="20210216b03e8f575f8d43c7b0000222">3.&amp;#x9;Have you, your office and/or your department been made aware of any deaths and/or injuries caused by inhaling LPG in the last month?</text>
