House of Assembly Fifty-First Parliament, Third Session (51-3) 51 3 Parliament of South Australia House of Assembly published Question Time Attorney-General ATTORNEY-GENERAL Mrs REDMOND House of Assembly Heysen Leader of the Opposition ATTORNEY-GENERAL Mrs REDMOND (Heysen—Leader of the Opposition) (14:25): My question is to the Premier. Does the Attorney-General still have the full support of the Premier? The Hon. M.D. RANN House of Assembly Ramsay Premier Minister for Economic Development Minister for Social Inclusion Minister for the Arts Minister for Sustainability and Climate Change ATTORNEY-GENERAL 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) (14:25): First of all, at the very start of question time, I want to take this opportunity to congratulate the member for Heysen on being elected Leader of the Opposition. The position of Leader of the Opposition— Members interjecting: The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: Order! The Hon. M.D. RANN House of Assembly The Hon. M.D. RANN: I think the member for Unley's role in the demise of the former leader of the opposition would mean that, today, he would be a little more humble. We want to congratulate the member for Heysen on being the first woman in the history of this parliament to achieve leadership of any major political party. We congratulate her. Obviously, the Leader of the Opposition's position is one that I know well, having served in that position for nearly eight years, the third longest serving opposition leader in the state's history. There are many occasions when Premier and Leader of the Opposition have worked together for the interests of the state in a bipartisan way, and I am sure that will happen. I am aware of the member for Heysen's role as a keen supporter for the arts, and I look forward to joining her at arts functions. I believe that there will be many occasions where we can work together without any personal rancour whatsoever for the good of this state. Members interjecting: The Hon. M.D. RANN House of Assembly The Hon. M.D. RANN: And the answer is that I can assure you that the Attorney-General has not only my support but the undivided support of this side of the house. Members interjecting: The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: Order!
