Web Incolink (Matters of Interest) - 20/08/2025
The Hon. B.R. HOOD (15:30): I rise today on a matter that cuts to the core of accountability and transparency in South Australia. It is something that I have spoken about previously in this place, and it concerns this Labor government's dealing with the CFMEU-linked redundancy fund, Incolink. This is not a minor industrial issue: it is a scheme al... -
Web Disaster Recovery Funds (Matters of Interest) - 20/08/2025
The Hon. N.J. CENTOFANTI (Leader of the Opposition) (15:44): No government can control the weather, no government can stop the tides, change the seasons, or prevent every biosecurity incursion from reaching our shores. What a government can control, and what South Australians should expect, is the quality of its response when disaster strikes. Sad... -
Web International Equal Pay Day (Matters of Interest) - 20/08/2025
The Hon. R.P. WORTLEY (15:26): A cause very close to my heart is being recognised by the United Nations on 18 September. That is the date of International Equal Pay Day. I will say that we are not in a position to celebrate it just yet because too many people are not receiving equal pay for equal work. I understand that seniority brings greater pa... -
Web Vacant Land Legislation (Matters of Interest) - 20/08/2025
The Hon. R.A. SIMMS (15:35): I rise to speak on the vacant land bill which passed the upper house (this chamber) just before the winter break. They say never let the truth get in the way of a good story. That is certainly the case for the SA Liberal Party, who have been running a misinformation campaign against this bill during the winter break. I... -
Web Qantas (Matters of Interest) - 20/08/2025
The Hon. J.E. HANSON (15:39): There is a widely known, modern philosopher-poet by the name of Justin Bieber, and he asked somewhat recently, 'Is it too late now to say sorry?' The Hon. I.K. Hunter: Never heard of him. The Hon. J.E. HANSON: As the Hon. Mr Hunter points out, he has never heard of him. It might be too late to say sorry, but we will... -
Web Violence Against LGBTIQA+ Australians (Matters of Interest) - 20/08/2025
The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (15:49): I am concerned about reports of rising violence directed at LGBTI Australians. It is unfortunate that I must raise this issue today because I would rather be speaking about the 50th anniversary of the South Australian parliament's decriminalisation of homosexuality. It was a landmark decision that ended the criminalis... -
Web Feegrade, Mr R. (Matters of Interest) - 20/08/2025
The Hon. J.S. LEE (15:53): I rise today to honour the life of Rohan Feegrade and to pay tribute to the legacy of a truly remarkable South Australian. Mr Rohan Feegrade, as honourable members know, was the Chief Executive Officer of Lutheran Care. He sadly passed away at the age of only 47 after a courageous battle with cancer. His memorial service... -
Web Housing Availability (Matters of Interest) - 18/06/2025
The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (15:35): I am speaking today about the trickiness of this government and particularly the Minister for Housing in relation to transparency in housing and the need for supporting infrastructure in South Australia, including various government announcements and the like. You have to be living under a media rock not to have se... -
Web Renewable Energy (Matters of Interest) - 18/06/2025
The Hon. R.P. WORTLEY (15:48): It is no good having wealth if we do not have a world in which to spend it. That is a common argument made in a variety of ways by those who know we need to do something about climate change and support renewable energy. But for many, it is just a throwaway line that is easily forgotten as the burdens of day-to-day l... -
Web Operation Babylift (Matters of Interest) - 18/06/2025
The Hon. T.T. NGO (15:40): I rise to speak about the evacuation of thousands of Vietnamese children during the fall of Saigon in April 1975. The evacuation plan was called Operation Babylift, involving thousands of orphaned infants being flown out of Vietnam to adoptive parents overseas, including 250 children and babies destined for Australia. On...
