Australian Space Agency

The Hon. E.S. BOURKE (14:51): I feel like I'm missing out. Has a date been set for a follow-up meeting with any of the organisations, businesses or government representatives as a result of your visit and will they be here in South Australia, those follow-up meetings?

The PRESIDENT: Excellently crafted supplementary. Leader of the Opposition, did you listen to that supplementary? It was excellently crafted and you could learn from it.

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment) (14:52): My department is following up on all the people we met.

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Allow the minister to answer.

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY: I don't know how you did it in government. I dropped into bad habits when I talked about your behaviour in government, I won't do that again.

The PRESIDENT: It's not a conversation. Through me, minister.

The Hon. K.J. Maher interjecting:

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY: I will drop back into those bad habits of unparliamentary language about the members opposite. Because we have the relationship with Adlershof and Tonsley, there is actually dialogue happening all the time.

An honourable member interjecting:

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY: I don't have the exact dates. There are people coming, and I do hope that when they are here—

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: The Hon. Mr Ridgway, I have heard enough of this issue. Sit down. No more supplementaries. I have had enough. The Hon. Ms Bonaros has the call.

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: No; order! The Hon. Ms Bonaros.
