The SPEAKER: I would like to take this opportunity to welcome to parliament a few groups that we have in the galleries today. We have students from St Peter's College, who are guests of the member for Dunstan. Welcome to parliament. We hope you enjoy question time. I would like to give a shout-out to students from my electorate who were here during the lunch break. Unfortunately, they had to get back to Aldinga so they could make their buses home.

The Aldinga Payinthi school is a really important development in our local area. When we got to talk to the students about what we do in here, one of the things I was able to talk about was taking to the Budget and Finance Committee, if you like, through the then Minister for Education, the Deputy Premier, a bid to build a high school which then turned into the B-12 school at Aldinga, Payinthi. I would like to thank the member for Morialta for the four years he had as education minister.

We talked through how that process works and how we develop things in our local communities. It was really good to have them in here and I am sorry they could not hang around. They were student leaders from year 7 through to year 11, doing a tremendous job representing other learners and students in their cohorts.

We also have people in from Hallett Cove School, guests of the member for Black. We have the school captains, Karli vandenBrink and Jedd Quilliam. Welcome to Parliament House, along with your principal, Tony Hall, and assistant principal, Tom Wall. We also have Tony and Jude Parmiter here, who are guests of the member for Kavel.

Also, we are about to have guests of the member for Davenport. I am going to mention them now because I do not like interrupting question time with acknowledgement of people in the chamber. We have the Flagstaff Hill Probus Club coming in, and one of their number is a fellow called Trevor Mewett. He was the teacher of the Minister for Transport, the Leader of Government Business, in year 9. So if we spot Trevor, he might have a few answers to come up with for the guidance that he provided to the Leader of Government Business and grandfather of the house.
