Web Human Services Portfolio (Matters of Interest) - 06/03/2024
The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (15:21): I rise to place some corrections on the record in relation to the human services portfolio. Firstly, I am concerned that the minister is trying to avoid public and media scrutiny regarding abandoned SA Housing properties by claiming that they are part of a domestic and family violence program. Members of the commun... -
Web Youth Treatment Orders (Matters of Interest) - 30/08/2023
The Hon. C. BONAROS (15:28): As some members of this place will recall, potentially life-saving laws that gave the Youth Court the power to detain drug-dependent or addicted children for treatment were passed by the previous parliament in 2019.

The Hon. R.B. MARTIN (15:43): The Santos Tour Down Under (TDU) is an iconic highlight of South Australia's annual major events calendar and the biggest cycling event in the southern hemisphere.

Web Trevitt, Ms S. (Matters of Interest) - 13/09/2023
The Hon. R.A. SIMMS (15:48): I rise to speak about Sophie Trevitt, a former colleague and Greens comrade who passed away on 27 July after a nine-month battle with brain cancer, a heroic battle because she was only 32.

The Hon. J.E. HANSON (15:51): About 19 years ago, a then little-known guy called Barack Obama said: Hope in the face of difficulty. Hope in the face of uncertainty. The audacity of hope!
