House of Assembly Fifty-First Parliament, Third Session (51-3) 51 3 Parliament of South Australia House of Assembly published Question Time Driving Record DRIVING RECORD Mrs REDMOND House of Assembly Heysen DRIVING RECORD Mrs REDMOND (Heysen) (14:42): Does the Minister for Correctional Services stand by his statement to the house yesterday that he has 'not been the subject of a warrant for his arrest during the term of the Rann Labor government'? Courts Administration Authority records reveal that on 24 October 2002 an order to issue a warrant of arrest was recorded in the case of Modbury Press Pty Ltd v Tom Koutsantonis for a judgment debt of $3,887. The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS House of Assembly West Torrens Minister for Correctional Services Minister for Gambling Minister for Youth Minister for Volunteers Minister Assisting the Minister for Multicultural Affairs DRIVING RECORD The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens—Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Gambling, Minister for Youth, Minister for Volunteers, Minister Assisting the Minister for Multicultural Affairs) (14:42): I start again by saying that this matter has absolutely nothing to do with my past traffic infringements and is entirely a personal legal matter that does not bear on my duties as an MP or a minister. However, in the interests of openness considering recent events, I am prepared to provide some details to the house. Members of parliament have disputes with printers, especially when you cannot use the material that they print for you. There was a court file I am aware of that mentions a warrant but I stress that this was never issued and the case did not progress. The matter relates to a dispute in 2002 over printing. There is a note on the case mentioning a warrant of arrest. The Courts Administration Authority informs me that this warrant was never issued and the case was not proceeded with. Members interjecting: The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: Order! The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS House of Assembly The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS: Today, I have contacted Modbury Press. The company advised me that the matter was settled on 14 November 2002. However, a notice of discontinuance was never filed by the plaintiff or its lawyers with the courts—as I am advised, the usual process to close a case file. I have spoken today with Marshall Lawyers who represented Modbury Press at the time and they inform me that the failure to follow the notice of discontinuance was an oversight. I have arranged for such a notice to be filed with the court immediately. Members of parliament dispute with printers. It happens. Ms Chapman interjecting: The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: Order! Members interjecting: The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: Order! The house will come to order. Members interjecting: The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: Order, the deputy leader and the Attorney!
