Mr DULUK (Waite) (15:31): I rise to talk about a topic I have an interest in, that is, migration and where South Australia is going with its population policy over the coming years and what we can do in the future, which is very important. Right now, South Australia has a population of about 1.7 million people and we account for about 7.14 per cent of the Australian population. Over the past few years, unfortunately, South Australia's population increase has slowed whilst that of the rest of the nation, particularly on the eastern seaboard, has taken off. There is something we can do, in my view, to look at this issue, and one thing is obviously natural increase.

Mr DULUK (Waite) (11:58): I just want to make a brief contribution to the noting of the report of the Joint Committee on the 125th Anniversary of Women's Suffrage, entitled Interim Report, and perhaps pick up where the member for King finished off with thanking the committee Chair, the Hon. Michelle Lensink, from the other place.

Mr DULUK (Waite) (11:37): I also rise to make a few comments on the Health and Community Services Complaints (Miscellaneous) Amendment Bill 2018. I will perhaps begin where the Deputy Premier finished off and talk about the value of reports and understanding them. If we reflect upon, over the last 16 years, one of the areas that the Deputy Premier was reflecting on with regard to child protection, we had the Layton report, the Mullighan inquiry and the Nyland royal commission report in an area of government where all three reports highlighted the systemic failure of government, of agency and of ministers.

Mr DULUK (Waite) (15:40): I rise today to speak about the importance of local scouting in our community, and in particular those active scout groups in my electorate: Blackwood, Eden Hills, Belair and Mitcham. Scouts SA encourages children and their families to head outdoors and try new activities. It gives young people a chance to make a contribution to society and adults can also play a part by taking the chance to become suitable role models.

Mr DULUK (Waite) (17:18): I, too, rise to support the member for King in her motion before the house and also to warmly reflect on the words of the deputy leader and, of course, the hard work of the Minister for Environment and Water, who is a passionate advocate for our parks and rangers. I also want to reflect on World Ranger Day and outline to the house how rangers have played an important role in my electorate of Waite.

Mr DULUK (Waite) (15:50): I quote William Ernest Henley:

Out of the night that covers me,

Black as the pit from pole to pole,

I thank whatever gods may be

For my unconquerable soul.

Mr DULUK (Waite) (16:21): I also rise to make a few comments on the Statutes Amendment and Repeal (Budget Measures) Bill 2018 and provide a bit more of an opportunity to discuss some of the important things that this new Marshall Liberal government is doing—undertaking, deciding, leading, making tough decisions—in our first budget on this side of the house for some time.

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.
