Mr TARZIA ( Hartley ) ( 16:47 :36 ): I will do my best to follow up on that—

The DEPUTY SPEAKER: I won't stop anyone speaking over the top of you.

Mr TARZIA ( Hartley ) ( 15:38 :55 ): It is said that there are no bad people, only bad incentives. Time will tell whether this bill provides a good incentive or a bad incentive.

Mr TARZIA ( Hartley ) ( 17:44 :18 ): As tempting as it is to rebut the member for Waite, I would like to quote Bon Jovi:

We've gotta hold on ready or not. You live for the fight when it's all that you've got.

Mr TARZIA ( Hartley ) ( 16:35 :43 ): I today rise to support the member for Hammond in his endeavour to put forward the Statutes Amendments (Rights of Foster Parents and Guardians) Bill.

Mr TARZIA ( Hartley ) ( 16:24 :42 ): Thank you, Deputy Speaker. Firstly, I thank the member for Morialta who has today allowed me to sit in his seat.

Mr TARZIA (Hartley) (15:38): It is said that there are no bad people, only bad incentives. Time will tell whether this bill provides a good incentive or a bad incentive. Much has been said about the current government's credentials when it comes to sustainability and improvement of energy and water use, as well as environmental performance. My message to the government is: focus on what you have so far and focus on the problems you have created thus far.

Mr TARZIA: Thank you, Deputy Speaker. I rise today to speak to the Statutes Amendment and Repeal (Budget 2015) Bill and indicate I will not be the lead speaker. The bill contains many measures that form part of the government's budget initiatives for 2015-16 and certainly implements some of the outcomes that the state tax review looked into. I note there are a number of key features of this bill, and I would like to point out some of these to the house if I may.

Mr TARZIA (Hartley) (15:48): I thought I would bring the house's attention to some functions that I attended in and around the winter break. I would like to speak about those community organisations and the great work that they are doing starting with, firstly, the Campbelltown Chess Club. I was fortunate enough to attend the Campbelltown Chess Club annual awards at the weekend, which were actually held at Thorndon Park in the suburb of Paradise. There was a barbecue provided by one of the local Rotary clubs. I commend Sabrina and David—two of the organisers of the Campbelltown Chess Club—for the good work that they do.

Mr GARDNER ( Morialta ) ( 15:12 :42 ): Thank goodness for small mercies. A government with absolutely no idea what they are doing, with the support of about one in three voters in South Australia, entering their second year—a year when the Premier said that we would have our socks knocked off by the boldness of their policy agenda.

Mr TARZIA (Hartley) (12:30): I also rise today to respond to the estimates committee reports. I would actually like to commend the member for Mount Gambier for one of his latest ideas in regard to the start-up community. It goes without saying that this is an area that the government should definitely be doing more in. The start-up community in Adelaide is a very positive and energetic one, but they are calling and screaming and crying out for more assistance from the government. When you look at the amount of office space that is vacant in this state and when you look at the amount of money that is being wasted in this state, we could be putting it to much more productive use if some of that funding and some of that space was given to the start-up community.
