Mobile Black Spot Program

The Hon. J.S.L. DAWKINS (14:35): Supplementary: in addition to Marree, will the minister confirm that the isolated communities of William Creek, Innamincka and Blinman were included in the blackspots round 2?

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) (14:35): I can confirm that. There were a number of areas, and areas that are important for economic development and tourism, that were allocated, and the vast majority of those sites that were allocated had state government funding for them. But there were quite a few further sites where the federal Liberal government said, 'Have your money back, South Australia, we don't want your money. We don't want to fund them in South Australia.'
