The PRESIDENT: Very much final, yes.

The Hon. K.J. MAHER: Does the minister dispute the figure that under 10 years of Labor in excess of 250 new houses were built in remote Aboriginal communities compared to zero proposed under the minister's strategy?

The PRESIDENT: I am not sure whether that was in the original answer, but I will let the minister respond.

The Hon. K.J. Maher interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order! The Leader of the Opposition will cease interjecting.

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK: For the first time under NPARIH in South Australia, under the Marshall Liberal government, the South Australian government has—
