Service SA Modbury

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens) (15:01): My question is to the member for King. Has the member for King written to the Minister for Transport and Infrastructure regarding the closure of the Modbury Service SA?

The Hon. S.K. KNOLL (Schubert—Minister for Transport, Infrastructure and Local Government, Minister for Planning) (15:01): Can I say that the member for King is a fantastic local member who advocates on behalf of her community. I can tell you what the member for King has talked to me about—

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The member for Ramsay, the member for Lee and the member for Kaurna are all warned.

The Hon. S.K. KNOLL: —and that is the $343,000 that we are spending to fix up Skyline Drive in her electorate, a great local project, a fantastic local project that is going to deliver benefits. The wonderful thing about having gone out recently with the member—

The SPEAKER: There is a point of order.

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS: It is relevance. The question was about the Modbury Service SA.

The SPEAKER: At the moment, I think that this information is germane, but I will continue to listen to the minister's answer. To him, as to all ministers, I will give a little bit of latitude for some preamble, but I am sure that he will come to the substance of the question very soon.

The Hon. S.K. KNOLL: And the substance of the question is, and the answer to the substance of the question is: the member for King is a fantastic local member who advocates on behalf of her community, and I look forward to working with her to deliver for the people of King in a way that they have not had decent representation for a long period of time.
