House of Assembly Fifty-Second Parliament, First Session (52-1) 52 1 Parliament of South Australia House of Assembly published Question Time Commissioner for Water Security COMMISSIONER FOR WATER SECURITY Mr WILLIAMS House of Assembly MacKillop Deputy Leader of the Opposition COMMISSIONER FOR WATER SECURITY Mr WILLIAMS (MacKillop—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:29): Does the Premier still have confidence in Water Security Commissioner, Robyn McLeod, given that she was caught out lying on ABC radio yesterday? Members interjecting: The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: Order! There is a point of order. The Hon. P.F. CONLON House of Assembly The Hon. P.F. CONLON: Not only is it comment, it is inflammatory debate. Members interjecting: The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: Order! The point of order is still being heard. The Hon. P.F. CONLON House of Assembly The Hon. P.F. CONLON: Madam Speaker I was asking you for a ruling, not the Leader of the Opposition—if that is all right with her. Thank you. Plainly, debate that is clearly inflammatory does not belong here. She may seek leave to explain, but even then she may not debate it. Members opposite cannot expect answers that do not involve debate if they cannot ask a simple, orderly question. 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 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) (14:30): My reply to the Deputy Leader of the Opposition—elected as he was with three votes, such is their commitment to democracy—is: walk 30 paces outside and have the guts to repeat what you said about this distinguished public servant outside and in the media. Members interjecting: The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: Order! The Hon. M.D. RANN House of Assembly The Hon. M.D. RANN: It is very easy to come in here to Coward's Castle and try to absolutely destroy people's reputations because you have no reputation yourself. So have the decency, have the guts and the courage, to go outside and repeat your attack on this woman. The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: The member for Torrens.
