Transport Subsidy Scheme

The Hon. E.S. BOURKE (14:27): Can the minister—

The Hon. D.W. Ridgway: Why don't you show some respect to the chamber; you can't even turn your phone off.

The PRESIDENT: The Hon. Mr Ridgway, I have just admonished the opposition. I do not need a government minister being equally ill behaved.

The Hon. E.S. BOURKE: —please confirm to this chamber the completion date of the current scheme?

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (14:28): Let me put some facts on the record for the honourable members who clearly have no idea about what the current situation is. NDIS participants can receive transport assistance as part of their package, if this is assessed by the NDIS. The South Australian Transport Subsidy Scheme was extended until mid-2019 for eligible clients, regardless of whether they are NDIS participants. This work continues and discussions remain. The state government has been progressively transferring SATSS funding to the NDIA. This matter is principally within the purview of the Minister for Transport.

Members interjecting:

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK: Mid-2019, as I stated. I am sorry, Mr President, I should not be responding to interjections. I remain admonished. This is a matter for the Minister for Transport, the Hon. Stephan Knoll.
