Regional Housing

The Hon. N.J. CENTOFANTI (Leader of the Opposition) (14:26): Supplementary: what actions has the minister taken as Minister for Regional Development to ensure there are adequate childcare and health services in regional communities?

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries) (14:26): I have had a number of interactions both with local government bodies, with my colleagues in the other place who have direct responsibility, for example, for health, the member for Kaurna, and these are issues that the government is progressing. Of course, we know that the former government here, the now opposition, doesn't really like to talk about health issues usually because they did such a bad job when they were in government—such a bad job that this became the defining issue of the 2022 election, so it is really quite remarkable that they want to bring that up.

We have made a number of announcements in regard to increased paramedics, increased medical personnel, and all of these are rolling out as we speak, including upgrades to a number of facilities.
