WORKCOVER CORPORATION

Mr HAMILTON-SMITH (Waite—Leader of the Opposition) (14:25): My question is for the Premier. Did the member for Mount Gambier and the member for Chaffey, as members of the Labor cabinet, participate in the vote which recommended to the ALP caucus changes to WorkCover legislation? Was their vote decisive and was their role conveyed to the Labor caucus?

Documents leaked to the opposition from within Labor's caucus include two second reading speeches for two bills to be introduced tomorrow regarding the government's plans and a briefing paper considered yesterday and today by Labor members. The opposition understands that the members for Chaffey and Mount Gambier were involved in cabinet briefings and approvals of those bills and papers.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. M.D. RANN (Ramsay—Premier, Minister for Economic Development, Minister for Social Inclusion, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Sustainability and Climate Change) (14:26): This is breaking news. We were just asked whether the member for Chaffey and the member for Mount Gambier participated in the caucus decision. They are not members of the Labor caucus. They are not members of the Labor Party.

Members interjecting:

The Hon. M.D. RANN: He said 'caucus'.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. M.D. RANN: Let me give him the benefit of the doubt. Did they participate in the cabinet decision? Yes, because they are cabinet ministers.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. P.F. Conlon interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The Minister for Transport will come to order!

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! I should not have to call for order more than once.
