The Hon. J.S. LEE (17:17): 

I rise today to speak in support of the Education and Children's Services (Barring Notices and Other Protections) Amendment Bill 2025. We expect schools and educational settings to provide a safe and conducive environment to encourage children and students to learn and develop their full potential. This bill aims to introduce safety measures to address antisocial behaviours and protect students and staff from harm and disorderly incidents.

The Hon. J.S. LEE (15:40): 

I rise to speak on the Summary Offences (Prohibition of Publication of Certain Material) Amendment Bill 2025. Social media is changing rapidly and in some instances some of those changes are negatively impacting on the public safety and wellbeing of our community. This bill seeks to address and prohibit a growing trend of people posting material on social media to brag about their involvement in crime, commonly known as the posting and boasting bill.

The Hon. J.S. LEE (17:42): 

I rise today to speak in support of the Summary Offences (Invasive Images and Depictions) Amendment Bill 2024. I wish to thank the Hon. Connie Bonaros for bringing this bill to the chamber and for her diligent work negotiating with the government on subsequent amendments that greatly strengthen the efficacy of the proposed legislation.

The Hon. J.S. LEE (17:32): 

I rise briefly to speak about the Residential Tenancies (Minimum Standards) Amendment Bill proposed by the Hon. Robert Simms. I understand that in January 120 organisations called on the federal government to support renters and landlords with energy upgrades, including providing funding and support to states and territories to implement bills like this one. The South Australian signatories which supported that proposal included SA Power Networks, Anti-Poverty Network SA, Shelter SA and Uniting Country SA.

The Hon. J.S. LEE (17:12): 

I move:

2. Notes that MS is a chronic, neurodegenerative condition that impacts the body’s central nervous system and currently affects over 33,000 people across Australia and over 2,900 people across South Australia;

The Hon. J.S. LEE (16:59): 

I move:

That this council—

1. Congratulates the Ice Factor Foundation on reaching the significant milestone of its 20^th anniversary in 2025;

5. Commends the Ice Factor Foundation for its contributions to making life-changing differences in supporting young people in South Australia to develop personal leadership, resilience and responsibility in all aspects of their lives.

Adjourned debate on motion of Hon. R.A. Simms:

That there be laid upon the table of this council, within two sitting weeks of the passing of this resolution, by the Leader of the Government, the business case and any related documents regarding the proposed redevelopment of the North Adelaide Golf Course.

The Hon. J.S. LEE (14:54): 

I seek leave to make a brief explanation before asking a question of the Leader of the Government about Tarrkarri.

The Hon. J.S. LEE (15:50): 

I rise today to speak in support of the State Development Coordination and Facilitation Bill 2025. I believe that, in order for South Australia to be competitive and to have the ability to attract investment for key developments, this bill intends to improve efficacy and efficiency, provide certainty and reduce risk for development by creating a centralised Coordinator-General's Office and improved system-wide coordination of key developments in South Australia for social, economic and environmental purposes.

The Hon. J.S. LEE (14:58): 

I seek leave to make a brief explanation before asking a question of the Attorney-General, representing the Minister for Police, about reviewing the current policing model.
