Glenelg Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centre

Mr PATTERSON (Morphett) (14:50): Supplementary: were any other locations considered by the minister for the Glenelg drug and alcohol rehabilitation centre prior to funding being provided?

The Hon. C.J. PICTON (Kaurna—Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:50): As I have already explained to the member for Morphett, this was a tender process that was run by Drug and Alcohol Services so not a decision that the minister made. I would invite the member for Morphett in his nimby world—

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. C.J. PICTON: —to identify which suburbs he thinks it's okay for drug and alcohol services to be provided in and which ones they shouldn't be provided in, according to his view of the world. Because we listen to the experts, we work with providers like Uniting Communities—

Mr Patterson interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Member for Morphett!

The Hon. C.J. PICTON: —and we're not out scaremongering and stigmatising like the member for Morphett is. This is absolutely disgraceful behaviour.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! Member for Unley! I call the member for Davenport.
