          <by role="member" id="1813">Mrs REDMOND (Heysen) (14:35):</by>  My question is to the Minister for Correctional Services. Following his response to the house yesterday, has the minister now checked whether he has had a car repossessed? Court records show a judgment debt of $7,509 against Anastasious Koutsantonis for moneys owing to Australian Guarantee Corporation. The records also show that a warrant for sale was issued on 18 March 2003, and a payment was subsequently made to Australian Guarantee Corporation. In the Magistrates Court warrant, the sheriff is directed to 'sell such of the real and personal property of the defendant as are within the state of South Australia to satisfy the above total owing plus interest'.</text>
