MINISTERIAL CODE OF CONDUCT

Mrs REDMOND (Heysen—Leader of the Opposition) (14:35): My question is for the Premier. Is it appropriate behaviour for the Minister for Youth to describe questioning by the media as 'sleazy', 'awful' and 'rubbish'?

An honourable member interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

Mrs REDMOND: Does he agree that the minister's actions are in breach of the ministerial code of conduct, which states, 'Ministers must ensure that their personal conduct is consistent with the dignity, reputation and integrity of the parliament'?

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) (14:35): The Minister for Youth has my total confidence.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!
