Northern Entrepreneur Growth Scheme

The Hon. J.S.L. DAWKINS (15:16): Supplementary question: will the minister also recognise that the community of Gawler does not see Munno Para as part of Gawler, it's not part of the Town of Gawler, and also the fact that the member for Light has been totally silent on this issue?

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) (15:16): I thank the honourable member for his question. I would acknowledge that the member for Light has been an exceptionally strong advocate on this. I know the member for Light has discussed with me and others on a number of occasions the need to make sure that the significant impact the closure of Holden will have on the northern areas of Adelaide, including the Gawler region, is taken into account.

That was a very big reason why the scheme was set up, thanks to the fierce advocacy from the member for Light, who, believe me, is an exceptional local member, and that is why he was elected in 2006 and that is why he's been there so long already, because he is an exceptional local member who sticks up for his community and advocates exceptionally strongly.
