SPEED LIMITS

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Leader of the Opposition) (14:31): I have a supplementary question arising from the answer. Could the minister provide to the chamber a breakdown of the roads and the projects where the $370 million was spent, and I think the $125 million she mentioned earlier in her answer, and a breakdown to the chamber, too, of projects and roads where that money has been spent?

The Hon. G.E. GAGO (Minister for Agriculture, Food and Fisheries, Minister for Forests, Minister for Regional Development, Minister for Tourism, Minister for the Status of Women) (14:31): He is a disgrace and he is ashamed of himself. He is absolutely ashamed of himself. He is ashamed that he has got up in this place and advocated a point of view that is going to result in the loss of lives of South Australians. He is absolutely ashamed. So, now when I have showed him and put the figures on the table, he wants a list. He wants the figures broken down road by road, street by street and road shoulder by road shoulder.

I am sure that is available and I will pass it on to the minister for infrastructure and bring it back, but he is ashamed of himself. He is absolutely ashamed of himself and he is now trying to hide behind detailed facts and figures. He is scuttling off behind a rock, where he should stay, because he should absolutely be ashamed of himself for coming into this place with such an appalling position. We are out here trying to save people's lives.
