The Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER (Morialta) (11:25): I oppose the Planning, Development and Infrastructure (Use of Vacant Land) Amendment Bill. The Liberal Party opposes this vacant land bill. The Liberal Party has opposed this bill since it was proposed by the Greens. This is an area where we differ from the government. The government supported this bill ... -
Web Goldsworthy, Hon. E.R. (Condolence) - 19/08/2025
The Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER (Morialta) (14:54): I knew Roger Goldsworthy a little—I wish I had known him more. I had enormous regard for him, and I am fortunate to have had some insight through some of his children who I have the honour of calling my friends. Roger Goldsworthy's career prior to politics was fairly distinguished as well. My mother-in-l... -
Web Cameron, Hon. M.B. (Condolence) - 19/08/2025
The Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER (Morialta) (15:55): I met Martin Cameron in late 1996. I was a newly joined member of the Young Liberal Movement and Martin Cameron was President of the Liberal Party. He was sitting as the chair of the state council—260-odd strong as it was then. At that time, the Liberal Party's membership would have been 7,000 or 8,000, ... -

Web Severin, Mr P. (Grievance Debate) - 19/08/2025
The Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER (Morialta) (17:42): In recent days it has been sad to hear the news of the loss of Peter Severin, someone who would be known well to yourself and many members of the house. Peter Severin served South Australians well as the chief executive of the Department for Correctional Services for a number of years, from 2003 to 2012.... -
Web Appropriation Bill 2025 (Bills) - 26/06/2025
The Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER (Morialta) (15:39): I indicate that I am not the lead speaker, tragically. The opposition, as we outlined during the debate on the Appropriation Bill, supports the bill. It is appropriate to do so. Estimates is the tradition by which we go through the scrutiny of the appropriation in detail. Different parliaments have diffe... -
Web Births, Deaths and Marriages Registration Act Regulations (Motions) - 26/06/2025
The Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER (Morialta) (11:06): I rise today to speak to this disallowance motion. Each year, fees and charges are reviewed and adjusted, usually in line with CPI; however, the increases under this regulation go well and truly above CPI. The additional revenue appears to be imposed to assist Births, Deaths and Marriages in meeting a $1... -
Web Education Standards (Grievance Debate) - 18/06/2025
The Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER (Morialta) (15:32): 'Test scores out' read the headline a few weeks ago in an opinion piece written for The Advertiser by former Finnish education bureaucrat Pasi Sahlberg. Unless we pay attention, in my view, to test scores and standards, I think we risk failing all our students. I could not disagree with Mr Sahlberg more,... -

The Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER (Morialta) (16:34): I am pleased to have the opportunity to respond to the 2025-26 state budget. I want to particularly commend the Leader of the Opposition, Vincent Tarzia, for what I thought was an excellent budget response yesterday. It did not just highlight the failures that we see evident in the budget—a diminishing s... -
Web South Australian Museum (Motions) - 05/06/2025
The Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER (Morialta) (11:27): I move: That this house refers the eligible petition presented to the House of Assembly on 28 August 2024 from 10,561 residents of greater South Australia requesting the house to establish a committee inquiry into the South Australian Museum, including the proposed restructure of research and collections...
