The Hon. F. PANGALLO: It is.

The PRESIDENT: You have asked the question. The minister can respond.

The PRESIDENT: Supplementary questions are not to be accompanied by something approaching a second reading speech or an explanation. You have asked the question. I will ask the minister to respond.

The Hon. F. PANGALLO: Mr President, it was in relation to the response I received. What I was asking is: so these kits will not be made available and the decision will be left to Professor Spurrier and police commissioner Grant Stevens to decide whether or not these kits are made available to South Australians—

The PRESIDENT: The minister will answer the question now.

The Hon. F. PANGALLO: —like they are everywhere else?
