LOBETHAL FREIGHT ACCESS UPGRADE

Mr PEDERICK (Hammond) (14:35): My question is to the Minister for Regional Roads. Can the minister inform the house what the government is doing to improve the condition of the Lobethal freight access route, specifically along Terlinga Road between Tungkillo and Mount Torrens?

The Hon. G.G. BROCK (Stuart—Minister for Local Government, Minister for Regional Roads, Minister for Veterans Affairs) (14:35): As I said a bit earlier, there are lots of roads out there in the regions and I'm travelling as much as I can to understand them. I'm having a briefing with the department head in the next couple of days. I'm happy to have a discussion with the member for Hammond—

Mr Telfer interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The member for Flinders is warned.

The Hon. G.G. BROCK: I'm happy to have an open discussion, and my office has always been open to all members on the other side to have a discussion about anything at all, whether it's local government, veterans affairs or regional roads. Also, as I said earlier, if these members have an issue, please come and see my office. I will arrange a meeting directly with you with the senior management of the Department for Transport. The other thing, as I said a bit earlier, is that I get very frustrated when people wait to bring it into the chamber to understand some of the things. We have lots of challenges—

Mr Pederick interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The member for Hammond is warned. The minister has the call. The minister has concluded his answer.
