The Marshall Government will install a push button crossing for pedestrians on Blythewood Road, Mitcham, near Scotch College, following calls from the community for the safety upgrade.

The operating times of the existing koala crossing were initially extended to enhance safety outside of school hours, but after further review, the determination has been made that the construction of a push button pedestrian crossing is necessary.

PRESS RELEASE FROM SAM DULUK MP

FRIDAY 14 SEPTEMBER 2018

Road upgrades included in State Budget for Waite

Mr DULUK (Waite) (17:19): It gives me great pleasure to make a small contribution on this, the first Liberal budget in quite a long time. I have to say that I am glad Rob Lucas from the other place is our Treasurer, a man who is sensible, calm and collected and who provides a contrast to the shrill noise of those opposite.

Mr DULUK (Waite) (16:05): I rise today to talk about the very important subject of education and about STEM in our school system. We all know what STEM is. Today, the member for Florey talked about LAMP as well. They are two acronyms that are very important to the education of our future generations. STEM is based on the idea of educating students in four specific disciplines: science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Rather than teach four disciplines as separate subjects, there is an increased focus on integrating them into a cohesive learning program.

Mr DULUK (Waite) (11:30): I move:
That this house—
(a) recognises that 10 September 2018 is World Suicide Prevention Day and 13 September 2018 is R U OK? Day;
(b) recognises the importance of both these days in raising awareness and understanding about suicide and its prevention among the community; and
(c) acknowledges all the workplaces, community groups and schools organising R U OK? Day events to encourage conversations among their peers.

Please find information about the upcoming forum regarding the Reactivation of the Repat site below.

The forum will be held on Wednesday 29th August at the Colonel Light Gardens RSL from 6pm.

Mr DULUK (Waite) (10:56): I rise to commend the member for Mount Gambier's motion in its amended form and wholeheartedly thank the member for Mount Gambier for bringing it to the house. As the member raised in his contribution, it is an issue that is very important to me, to my constituents and to many South Australians, and he understands, as I do, the importance of supporting those in our community, some 61,000 South Australians, who live with this condition.
