Keelty Review

Mr ODENWALDER (Elizabeth) (14:34): My question is to the Minister for Emergency Services. Minister, is the Keelty review critical—

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Member for Elizabeth, one moment. The Minister for Infrastructure is called to order and the Leader—

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: I might chuck him out today. Be quiet so that the member for Elizabeth—

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: I'm sorry, member for Elizabeth. I am trying to give you a question.

Mr ODENWALDER: I appreciate your support, sir. My question is again to the Minister for Emergency Services. Is the Keelty review critical of the new leadership of SAFECOM appointed by the minister?

The Hon. C.L. WINGARD (Gibson—Minister for Police, Emergency Services and Correctional Services, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing) (14:34): SAFECOM was put in place by the previous government, just to be clear on this, and the outcomes of the review will be made public in due course.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. C.L. WINGARD: But you are drawing me to reviews and reviews that the previous government undertook. I look to the Holloway review that was done in August 2013, and released in October 2015, and the list of recommendations that were not followed is endless—it is endless. The Burns review was the one that suggested AVL—

The SPEAKER: Point of order.

The Hon. C.L. WINGARD: —but he doesn't want to hear about this. He always jumps up—

The SPEAKER: Minister!

Members interjecting:

The Hon. C.L. WINGARD: —when his government is called to account.

The SPEAKER: The minister will be seated. There's a point of order.

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS: Point of order: that's debate. The question was very specific about the current Keelty review.

The SPEAKER: The review critical of leadership. I write them down, member for West Torrens. I do try.

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS: Thank you, sir.

The SPEAKER: At times, it's challenging to keep track of debate when there are such hearty interjections, especially from the member for Hammond. I have given the minister some opportunity to provide some relevant preamble. I know he was talking about other reviews, and it's his prerogative to do so, but I would ask him to come back respectfully to the substance of the question.

The Hon. S.C. Mullighan: Corey thought he was running into goal.

The SPEAKER: The member for Lee is on two warnings.

The Hon. C.L. WINGARD: Sorry again, sir. Before my ears rang with the shattering of a glass jaw, I was talking about the previous reviews done by those when they were in government and the fact—

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. C.L. WINGARD: —that they were not delivered. I was talking about the AVL, the automatic vehicle location tracking system that, again, those on the other side refused to fund, refused to accept, refused to acknowledge, yet on this side we know it is an important resource for our emergency services and something that we will be delivering for the emergency services of South Australia.
