          <by role="member" id="6929">The Hon. S.L. GAME:</by>  On my recent trips to Murray Bridge, several stakeholders noted that a significant barrier to employment, training and further education is adequate, affordable public transport from Murray Bridge to the Adelaide metropolitan area where these opportunities exist. Especially with the current housing crisis, people are unable to always reside near opportunities, so good, affordable transport is essential. Conversely, bringing people to Murray Bridge is good for opportunities and tourism would be welcome. What measures are the government taking to ensure adequate, affordable public transport from Murray Bridge to the Adelaide metropolitan area?</text>

MAHER (Attorney-General, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector) (15:11):</by>  I thank the honourable member for another very important transport-related question. I will pass those on to the transport minister in another place and I'm sure he will be most obliging in bringing me back a reply to those questions, the previous questions, and all future questions on transport and roads in regional South Australia.</text>
