According to the National Drug Strategy Household Survey conducted in 2016 by the federal government's Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, the South Australian outback and the south-east of South Australia have amongst the highest usage of illicit drugs in South Australia and Australia. Therefore, will the minister confirm that the remaining additional funding of $20 million for addressing the use of methamphetamine, also known as ice, will be allocated to rehabilitation facilities in no more than four locations in South Australia, with a minimum of two locations in regional South Australia, including one of those locations adding to or creating new services in the Fleurieu region of South Australia, an area of high methamphetamine use in South Australia?
