MINISTER FOR POLICE

Mrs REDMOND (Heysen—Leader of the Opposition) (14:17): My question is to the Premier. Does the Premier have confidence in the Minister for Police's ability to undertake his duties?

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) (14:17): A lot more confidence than some of your backbenchers have in you.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. M.D. RANN: I know that Paris meant a lot to her; I know that. She went there and discovered, during her taxpayer-funded overseas trip, that Paris had a Metro (it is an underground railway), so she comes back with this information. Now 45,000 French villages will be created here. We are all waiting for this moment when, of course, we will have an EU subsidy for anyone who owns more than two pigs!

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! Point of order. Member for Unley.

Mr PISONI: The Premier was asked whether he had confidence in the police minister, and he has refused to answer. He has refused to say yes.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. M.D. RANN: I love the fact that she relies on the testimony of Martin Anders, who does in fact have a law degree, even though he is not—

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. M.D. RANN: —quite up to the standard of 'The Mullet', or bikie lawyers like Craig Caldicott or David Edwardson.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! Somebody will go out if you keep going like this.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! Order, members on my right, also!
