Mr PEDERICK (Hammond) (17:40): I rise to speak to the Criminal Procedure (Monitoring Orders) Amendment Bill 2022. I note that the Hon. Kyam Maher introduced the Criminal Procedure (Monitoring Orders) Amendment Bill in the other place on 3 November 2022. The bill would amend the Criminal Procedure Act 1921. The operation of the bill is that it would insert in the act a new part 4 division 8—Bushfire offender monitoring orders, which would provide for a police officer to apply to the Magistrates Court for an order for a bushfire offender to wear an electronic monitoring device during each fire danger season.

Mr PEDERICK (Hammond) (15:53): I rise to speak about the Livestock (Emergency Animal Disease) Amendment Bill 2022. This bill has come about because of what we need to do in response to risk factors and the potential for foot-and-mouth disease and lumpy skin disease to come to Australia. Both diseases will cause more than major problems; it will be an absolute disaster for our livestock industries. As has been indicated, over a period of 10 years the loss could be in the range of $80 billion to $100 billion to livestock industries right across Australia.

Mr PEDERICK (Hammond) (15:30): I rise today as the member for Hammond and the shadow emergency services minister to talk about the flooding—and I will use the word 'flooding'—in the Murraylands and Riverland of this state.

Mr PEDERICK (Hammond) (12:19): I rise to support this motion by the member for Morphett.

The Hon. B.I. Boyer: I'm looking forward to it.

Mr PEDERICK: You can have a go if you like.

The ACTING SPEAKER (Mr Brown): Order! The member will be heard in silence.

Mr PEDERICK: Thank you for your protection, sir. The motion is:

That this house—

(a) recognises that during its four year term the Marshall Liberal government completely transformed the old Royal Adelaide Hospital site into a hub of technology, innovation and culture;

(b) recognises that Lot Fourteen is creating thousands of jobs and showcasing South Australia to the world;

(c) recognises that Lot Fourteen is host to Australia’s national Space Agency, cementing South Australia as the national centre of Australia’s space industry;

(d) recognises that Lot Fourteen will showcase our rich and diverse Aboriginal culture to the world and attract more visitors to South Australia with establishment of the Aboriginal Art and Cultures Centre; and

(e) acknowledges the Marshall Liberal government for establishing a vibrant, world-class innovation, startup growth precinct at Lot Fourteen.

Mr PEDERICK (Hammond) (15:29): On Saturday 12 November, South Australia experienced a very severe statewide storm. Strong winds took down numerous trees, resulting in vehicles being smashed, roads being blocked and damage to over 300 powerlines across the state. Other infrastructure was also damaged in the storm.

Mr PEDERICK (Hammond) (11:22): I rise to support this report into the new Noarlunga State Emergency Service Unit at Lonsdale. This is a much-needed facility servicing the southern area of our state and is located obviously just to the southern part of metropolitan Adelaide. The response area is approximately 400 square kilometres, and there is a large mix of public housing, private residential developments, large commercial developments and some agricultural land.

Mr PEDERICK (Hammond) (12:45): I move:

That this house—

(a) recognises that Remembrance Day is observed on 11 November;

(b) acknowledges that Remembrance Day has been observed since the end of the First World War to remember and pay tribute to those who have fought and sacrificed their lives to keep us free;

(c) expresses its profound gratitude to all South Australians who have served, and continue to serve, in our armed forces; and

(d) acknowledges the important role of the RSL and other organisations who support veterans and the families of those who did not return.

Mr PEDERICK (Hammond) (11:43): I rise to speak on the motion by the member for Narungga:

That this house—

(a) acknowledges the extraordinary inconvenience placed on motorists thanks to the installation of the traffic lights on Port Wakefield Road at Buckland Park;

(b) notes that the Buckland Park intersection boasts the only set of traffic lights between Port Adelaide and Port Augusta;

(c) recognises that the traffic lights undermine the good work by successive governments in improving traffic flow along the North South Corridor; and

(d) requests an immediate upgrade to the Buckland Park intersection to reverse this short-sighted decision and return traffic to a free flow model.

Mr PEDERICK (Hammond) (15:27): On 13 July 2018, the federal government announced it would commit $1 million for a Hahndorf township strategic traffic planning study, aimed at identifying and assessing options to address congestion, connectivity, freight efficiency and safety in and around Hahndorf. Note that this was the former Liberal federal government.

Mr PEDERICK (Hammond) (12:16): I rise to support the motion from the member for Mount Gambier:

That this house—

(a) recognises the growing importance of medicinal cannabis and cannabidiol (CBD) as an alternative treatment option to South Australians;

(b) moves to implement research and trials into the effects of cannabidiol (CBD) on patients with juvenile epilepsy, endometriosis and chronic pain; and

(c) puts South Australia at the forefront of medicinal cannabis research and treatment.
