Mobile Phone Ban

The Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER (Morialta—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:32): Supplementary, sir: I refer to the minister's answer in which he talked about how well the ban is going, according to the minister, and the 30 per cent of schools that it's in place in. If that ban is going so well, then why do the taxpayers of South Australia have to spend $900,000 on promoting those conversations he says are also necessary?

Mr Brown interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The member for Florey is called to order and warned for a second time. Minister.

The Hon. B.I. BOYER (Wright—Minister for Education, Training and Skills) (14:33): The short answer is because we have 70 per cent more of public schools, with high school enrolments to go.
