SERVICE SA

The Hon. T.A. FRANKS (14:58): I have another supplementary. Why did the minister outline only PY Ku services with the free call number at two centres, when this service is actually meant to be at six centres at the moment?

The Hon. G.E. GAGO (Minister for Regional Development, Minister for Public Sector Management, Minister for the Status of Women, Minister for Consumer Affairs, Minister for Government Enterprises, Minister for Gambling) (14:59): The carping, whingeing and whining is a disgrace, Mr President.

Members interjecting:

The Hon. G.E. GAGO: It is a disgrace. As I said, these achievements are not easy. We do the very best we can, and we work very closely with local communities. We would like to see more services rolled out and we continue to work towards that, and I think it is disgraceful that the Hon. Ms Franks does not have the grace or goodwill to concede that or give one bit of recognition, not even one tiny, weeny little hint of recognition. No; it is just further whingeing and whining.
