MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector) (14:57):</by>  As I have said, South Australia was very fortunate that every single member of this chamber, except for the Liberals, protected the economy from their ideological overreach. They were exceptionally fortunate that we had the Greens to stop their overreach; we had SA-Best to stop their overreach; we had the Hon. John Darley in this chamber to stop their overreach.</text>
        <text id="20221020ac62b147e4204939b0000237">If they had got their wish to make sure South Australian food manufacturers were worse off, we would have seen job losses in South Australia, so I am very proud we did what we could to protect jobs in the South Australian economy and didn't let the ideological wreckers from the other side have their way.</text>
