BOURKE (Minister for Infrastructure and Transport, Minister for Autism) (14:35):</by>  As I have said, I am happy to sit down and talk to the industry to see what they want and work through what their needs are. I am sure we have pretty well laid out as a government that there is a pipeline of work available. We have big projects happening in South Australia. That is making our industries have a little bit more confidence about the fact that they will have the workforce but also that the demand is there for them to make sure that they can continue to supply to these projects.</text>
        <text id="20251029730f03c23f8e4fdda0000484">When you travel down the T2D project, that aggregate will be coming from South Australia predominantly. That is a good thing. That means that quarries around our state are benefiting. It is not just about the businesses in Adelaide itself; it is supporting the businesses across our state.</text>
