WHEELCHAIRS

Mr GARDNER (Morialta) (14:22): The Premier referred in his answer to people with a disability being given hospitality in the Premier's suite at the Clipsal. My question is: why is the government not paying for wheelchairs to be provided to those who need them for the event?

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Treasurer, Minister for Workers Rehabilitation, Minister for Defence Industries, Minister for Veterans' Affairs) (14:22): The fact is that in last year's budget we put a in substantial amount of extra money to ensure that there were no waiting lists for people wanting disability equipment.

Mr Gardner interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! The Leader of the Opposition.
