Web Select Committee on Access to Urinary Tract Infection Treatment (Parliamentary Committees) - 28/09/2023
The Hon. D.G. PISONI (Unley) (11:31): I rise to speak as the token male on this committee. I do appreciate the manner in which the Chair took my contributions seriously when I participated in the process. I also thank those who did share, in many instances, their intimate stories about the difficulty they had in getting treatment for a mild UTI. F... -
Web State Assets (Privatisation Restrictions) Bill (Bills) - 21/02/2024
The Hon. D.G. PISONI (Unley) (10:47): I rise to talk a little bit about history in South Australia. If you do a wiki search on privatisation of government assets in Australia, the first thing that pops up is the Hawke-Keating government and Qantas and the Commonwealth Bank: two massive Australian icons privatised by the Keating government, with Ke... -
Web Harmony Week (Motions) - 20/03/2024
The Hon. D.G. PISONI (Unley) (11:46): I, too, stand to support this motion moved by the member for Bragg. It is very much a motion about where Australia is today. Of course, Australia was not always the multicultural country that it is. As a matter of fact, it was a very monocultural country. Statistics will tell you that about 28 per cent of Aust... -
Web Private Members' Statements (Private Members' Statements) - 14/05/2024
The Hon. D.G. PISONI (Unley) (15:40): I rise to speak about the change to a 50 km/h speed zone that has been supported by the City of Unley on Unley Road and speak in support of such a measure. I had some luck last time a change to Unley Road was proposed. That was the extending of the clearway parking. Of course, it would have devastated the stri... -
Web Parliamentary Committees (Referral of Petitions) Amendment Bill (Bills) - 15/05/2024
The Hon. D.G. PISONI (Unley) (11:10): I rise to also speak in favour of the bill and, I guess, also use the opportunity to reflect how successful this 10,000-signature legislation has been in engaging the South Australian public. I think there was a stage there where many South Australians were petitioned out. They would sign a petition, it would ... -
Web Payroll Tax (Motions) - 05/06/2024
The Hon. D.G. PISONI (Unley) (11:53): I stand to support the motion as it was originally put by the member for Colton. I want to use an interesting analogy, particularly for those who might be Seinfeld fans, about the government's motivation in their amendment. There is a sketch where George Costanza makes the claim that if he puts everything that... -
Web School Pedestrian Crossing Safety (Question Time) - 09/04/2024
The Hon. D.G. PISONI (Unley) (15:29): My question is to the Minister for Infrastructure and Transport. Has the minister requested a department response to my letter dated 9 November 2023? With your leave, sir, I will explain the question. Leave granted. The Hon. D.G. PISONI: In my letter, I asked the minister to consider a number of suggestions t... -
Web Mount Gambier TAFE (Grievance Debate) - 16/05/2024
The Hon. D.G. PISONI (Unley) (15:12): Before I start, 30 years ago this year my wife and I certainly appreciated the work of the midwife for our firstborn after a 36-hour labour. You were there, and you remain there. Thank you very much. Today I want to speak about the situation in Mount Gambier at the Mount Gambier TAFE—which I don't think is iso... -
Web Botanic Gardens and State Herbarium (Miscellaneous) Amendment Bill (Bills) - 06/02/2024
The Hon. D.G. PISONI (Unley) (11:58): I take the opportunity to speak on this bill and of course raise my concern about another attempt by this government to impose a new tax on South Australians. We know how tricky Labor can be when they are in government about how they sell broken election promises. We even saw an article last week about no new ... -
Web TAFE SA (Motions) - 21/02/2024
The Hon. D.G. PISONI (Unley) (12:04): In speaking to this motion, I would like to move an amendment to the motion as follows: In paragraph (a), amend 'TAFE SA' to 'the training sector, including both TAFE SA and non-government training providers'; In paragraph (b), amend 'should always be at the centre of' to 'must play a central role in' and add ...
