KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens—Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Gambling, Minister for Youth, Minister for Volunteers, Minister Assisting the Minister for Multicultural Affairs) (16:22):</by>  I have tried to keep a comprehensive record—more than any other member sitting opposite. I have asked the police commissioner, the Courts Administration Authority, DTEI and Fleet SA to give me a full record of all my offences. That is something that no member opposite has done. I remind members that none of the offending occurred while I was a minister. I do not remember a car of mine ever being repossessed but I will check.</text>
