The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Leader of the Opposition) (14:34): Supplementary: the lease on the Warradale Centre, as you have brought this topic into the question, minister, I think expires in March or April this year. Will that be renewed with another two-year program?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Employment, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation, Minister for Manufacturing and Innovation, Minister for Automotive Transformation, Minister for Science and Information Economy) (14:34): Here is what I can assure the chamber, and assure the Leader of the Opposition—I understand the question that he's getting at, because, as we have found out since they started on this topic of questioning some months ago, the member for Mitchell wants that office back apparently; that was his campaign office, and that's the office that is now the automotive workers and transition office of the south. I understand you are in here doing your mate's bidding, but we're not going to kick people out of an office, just so your mate in Mitchell can have his old office back. What we will do is, we will provide services, as required, for manufacturing workers in southern Adelaide.
