The Hon. J.S. LEE (15:08): I seek leave to make a brief explanation before asking the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Fisheries a question relating to fruit fly

Mr WHETSTONE (Chaffey) (15:05): My question is to the Minister for Education and Child Development. Can the minister advise the house what will happen to the $850,000 covered outdoor learning centre constructed in the Riverland Special School in Berri under the BER scheme at the same time the decision was taken to relocate that special school?

Mr WHETSTONE (Chaffey) (15:43): I rise to speak about spring in October in the Riverland and Mallee. It really has been quite an opening of the season, particularly with everyone noting that when spring is upon us, everything springs to life—all the plants, the flowers, the trees, the vines—everything shows signs of life. I would like to mention some of the events that are happening in the region, particularly the Riverland and Mallee, and it is a showcase of what the region has to offer.
