Torrens to Darlington Project

Mr TARZIA (Hartley) (15:15): Thank you, sir, you are most generous today. My question is again to the Minister for Infrastructure and Transport. When will the government issue the tender for the Torrens to Darlington build?

The Hon. S.C. Mullighan: You had four years to do something and now you want us to do it in six weeks.

The SPEAKER: Order, the Treasurer!

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! Minister, please be seated.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! Member for Hammond! Member for Hammond, you can leave for the remainder of question time under 137A—

Mr Brown interjecting:

The SPEAKER: —and the member for Florey, who is now interjecting, can join him.

The honourable members for Hammond and Florey having withdrawn from the chamber:

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens—Minister for Infrastructure and Transport, Minister for Energy and Mining) (15:16): Sir, it sounds like four years wasn't enough. It sounds like the members opposite, who did nothing between the River Torrens and Darlington for the last four years, are now complaining that I haven't in the first 38 days of being in government had tunnel boring machines carving up the ground under South Road. This is a complex and detailed piece of work that will be done. We are getting our skates on.
