Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question of the minister. Given that ABS figures show that in the 12 months to July building approvals in South Australia plummeted by 23.6 per cent, the worst performance in mainland Australia, while early reports show that the value of construction work done over the last 12 months dropped by 14.6 per cent, also the worst performance in Australia, and new home sales fell by 8.9 per cent, the second worst performance in the nation, what is the government doing to reverse this downward trend?
