Another $2 million would be spent over five years to complete the Kaurna ancestral remains repatriation program and to extend the program to other First Nations.
“I’m very proud that we were recently able to lay to rest respectfully and with dignity the remains of Kaurna ancestors that were previously held away from the country that means so much to their people and culture,” Premier Steven Marshall said.
“This world-leading pilot is the first phase of an outstanding project that will have a profound effect on the lives of many, many people – and I’m looking forward to extending the project to other First Nations.”
It comes after the Marshall Government over the weekend pledged to make permanent its real-time fuel pricing scheme, which is currently on a two-year trial and requires all fuel outlets in South Australia to report any price changes to a database 30 minutes before they come into effect.
Meanwhile, Labor has reiterated warnings of an ambulance ramping “crisis”, after the SA Ambulance Service on Monday declared a “code white” for the entire Adelaide metropolitan area, meaning delayed responses to emergency cases.
“This is literally life and death,” Labor’s shadow treasurer Stephen Mullighan said this morning.
“While Steven Marshall and (Treasurer) Rob Lucas obsess about the cost of fixing the health system, they ignore the cost ofxjmtzyw not investing in the health system.”
The Opposition also spent the weekend announcing a $181.65 million package to build and renovate public housing, $37.7 million to double the state government cost of living concession and a pledge to develop a new autism strategy for public schools.
