MINISTERIAL CODE OF CONDUCT

Mrs REDMOND (Heysen—Leader of the Opposition) (14:15): My question is to the Premier. Given that the Minister for Health and Ageing has admitted asking the health department specifically to prepare material for the minister's use in the election during the caretaker period of the last state election campaign, which is a breach of the Ministerial Code of Conduct—

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

Mrs REDMOND: —will the Premier now sack his minister—

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. P.F. CONLON: Point of order.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. P.F. CONLON: What was argument the first time it was said is argument the second time.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! We will bring this question time to a close until the ringing of the bells.

[Sitting suspended from 14:16 to 14:25]

The SPEAKER: Thank you. We will now have some semblance of order in this question time and people will leave if they misbehave. We will go back to the original question. Leader, I will accept the question if you will leave out the statement 'which is a breach of the Ministerial Code of Conduct'. Do you wish to ask the question in that format?
