Forensic Science SA

The Hon. N.J. CENTOFANTI (Leader of the Opposition) (14:38): Supplementary: what planning or development on this facility has occurred to date?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector) (14:38): I thank the honourable member for her question. As I understand, there has been an initial business case that has been prepared that allowed us to make the investment—the very, very good, the very, very wise investment—of nearly $350 million for this facility and that's going to the next stage of development. I look forward to the good people of Forensic Science SA having a purpose-built facility so they can do their work, something that the former government never wanted and never acted on.
