The Hon. C.L. WINGARD (Gibson—Minister for Police, Emergency Services and Correctional Services, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing) (14:02): I seek leave to make a ministerial statement...

The Hon. C.L. WINGARD (Gibson—Minister for Police, Emergency Services and Correctional Services, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing) (16:44): I rise today to speak on the Fair Trading (Ticket Scalping) Amendment Bill, a bill that will protect families, event organisers and music and sport enthusiasts against the scourge on society that ticket scalpers have become. This is yet another commitment that the Marshall Liberal government committed to introducing within its first 100 days of government, and I am very proud to be part of a team that has been delivering on its commitments in the first 100 days...

I believe all ANZAC Day speeches should start with - Thank you.

Thank you to the ANZACS of WW1 And WW2.

Those veterans whose proud march has now slowed to a shuffle.

Those service men and women whose bravery and commitment is enshrined in our fabric and our being.

Mr WINGARD (Mitchell) (11:55): I rise today also to speak on the motion put before the house by the member for Bright, and I acknowledge the great work that he has done, as follows: 

Mr WINGARD (Mitchell) (10:33): Obtained leave and introduced a bill for an act to amend the Fair Trading Act 1987. Read a first time. 

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. 

September 28, 2017

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. 

Mr WINGARD (Mitchell) (15:11): I rise today to speak about the community awards that I held in my electorate just recently.
