House of Assembly Fifty-First Parliament, Third Session (51-3) 51 3 Parliament of South Australia House of Assembly published Grievance Debate Criminon CRIMINON Mr KENYON House of Assembly Newland Mr KENYON (Newland) (15:18): I rise today to talk about Criminon. More particularly, I want to talk about the false documents—false emails—brought into this parliament by the Leader of the Opposition. Members opposite should be a bit worried about this, because it puts into question the judgment of not only the leader, but also his staff. It is poor staff work. It is poor judgment on behalf of the leader, who has come in here with these ridiculous emails that, as soon as he read them, sounded stupid and wrong. They just did not sound right from the very first, yet he still wandered in here with them and accused people all over the place of committing criminal acts, or at least conspiring to commit criminal acts. The worst bit about that is that it could easily have been checked. They could have done something to prevent it. I knew the deputy leader's father, Mr Ted Chapman, and I know the member for Davenport's father. They were both interesting people with a very large dose of cunning, and that has passed through—their children have the same dose of cunning. Neither the member for Davenport nor the member for Bragg would have raced in here with false emails, emails that were so obviously questionable. I note that the member for Bragg was very quiet yesterday. She did not say a word. She did not have to. She had a great day saying nothing. It just beggars belief that we can have this situation where you can waltz in, someone can make up a few emails and someone conspires: 'We have these great emails. We could take them into parliament and someone could get sacked over it.' It is like two kids at uni who have put together these emails and they are brought in here. Instead of hiring private investigators and getting into the opponents' headquarters, a couple of kids at uni one night, after a few beers in the tavern, have gone back to the library, typed out these emails and passed them on. Someone in the leader's office thought, 'Wow, we've hit the goldmine. It's the mother lode. It's the Lassiter's Reef of emails. Let's take it into parliament.' So, he has wandered in here and pretty much disgraced himself. But the worst thing about it is that everybody else is running away from these documents except the Leader of the Opposition. He is just sticking to his guns: 'They are still true. I still believe in them.' Everyone else is running away. He is going to turn around to find no-one behind him because they will be following someone else. You guys should have a think about that. Mr Goldsworthy House of Assembly Mr Goldsworthy: You should sit down. That would be best. Mr KENYON House of Assembly Mr KENYON: I think I will sit down but I will just finish by saying this: if the leader still believes these documents and is not prepared to walk away from them and apologise, then I might have a bridge for him.
