On Thursday 19 October I attended a hearing of the Public Works Committee which was inquiring into the Oaklands Crossing Grade Separation Project. 

Ticket scalpers who prey on passionate sports and entertainment fans will face sleepless nights if tough new laws proposed by the Marshall Liberal Team are supported by the State Parliament.

The Marshall Liberal team has a vision for South Australia to have the best schools in the nation and as such we support the recent grants and much needed money for SA schools.

Mr WINGARD (Mitchell) (15:42): I rise today to express my concerns and frustrations with the state government's handling of the Oaklands crossing project. 

After nearly two decades the future of the Vietnam Veterans is uncertain with the State Government set to demolish the current club rooms in Warradale as part of the Oaklands Crossing upgrade.

Mr WINGARD (Mitchell) (15:17): I rise today, probably appropriately as the shadow minister for sport, and a big football fan, to speak about some great football results. We know that women's football has had a great run, and a great success with the women's Adelaide Crows winning the grand final. Of course, this weekend the men are hoping to follow suit and give the Adelaide Football Club two premierships in the one year, which would be absolutely outstanding.

SEPTEMBER 28, 2017

Mr WINGARD (Mitchell) (12:03): I rise today also to speak in support of the motion:

That this house—

(a) celebrates World Teachers' Day held annually on 5 October; and

(b) acknowledges the vital and inspirational role teachers play in providing quality education in a range of settings and to a diverse range of community members.

Mr WINGARD (Mitchell) (10:51): I move:

That this house—

(a) acknowledges the critical role that Noarlunga Hospital plays in the delivery of health services to the people of Adelaide's southern suburbs;

(b) notes that, prior to the 2014 state election, the Labor Party promised to invest $31 million in upgrading Noarlunga Hospital but subsequently reduced this funding allocation by more than half; and

(c) recognises the quality and commitment of the front-line staff who work at Noarlunga Hospital and their concern that the government's Transforming Health program is undermining the hospital's long-term future as a general community hospital. 

It was a pleasure to host a group of ladies from the Brighton Ladies Probus Club for a tour of Parliament House on September 5th.  

As many of you are aware I requested a briefing on the Oaklands Crossing project back in June when it was announced the project would be fully funded. I have also asked the Minister for Transport a wide range of questions regarding the project, many of which have been sent to me by constituents and members of the community.
