South Australian Democracy Gallery

Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (17:12): Well, can you please provide an update to the house on the funding of that gallery and what the likely time frame for that gallery will be?

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Health Industries) (17:12): I will get back to the house with the likely time frame, but that is the responsibility of the Office for the Arts. They have been given the responsibility for making that happen. My understanding was that initially it was expected that it would be carried out by the history trust. The office for the arts has decided that, given the nature of the project, it would be better being done by a small community-based organisation, and they are in discussions with such an organisation at the moment.

Mr Pisoni interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The member for Unley is called to order for interjecting during that answer.
