The Hon. R.B. MARTIN (15:44): I am pleased to have the opportunity today to belatedly reflect that in July the SDA family lost a person very near and dear to us: Lyn Rivers, long a guiding light to our union and its people, was our branch president, our colleague and our friend.

The Hon. C. BONAROS (15:47): The seafood sector is the backbone and lifeblood of our coastal regional communities, contributing more than $800 million to the gross state product and directly employing more than 6,250 South Australians.

Web Women in the Workforce (Matters of Interest) - 15/10/2025
The Hon. J.S. LEE (15:25): I rise today to speak on a matter that is both urgent and deeply personal to many South Australians: the need for policies that support women, especially vulnerable women, to enter or re-enter the workforce.

Web Farmers (Matters of Interest) - 15/10/2025
The Hon. N.J. CENTOFANTI (Leader of the Opposition) (15:30): As I have said in this place many times before, our farmers are the backbone of this nation.

The Hon. N.J. CENTOFANTI (Leader of the Opposition) (15:24): I rise today to address what is becoming a defining trait of this government—that is, its lack of transparency.

The Hon. J.E. HANSON (15:34): I rise to speak on something today that I have spoken on quite a bit and, indeed, lots of other members have over the journey. It is a complex matter but something that everyone has come to know by a really simple handle, and that is wage theft. There are many, many Australians who have been subject to wage theft. Ind...
