NATIONAL DISABILITY INSURANCE SCHEME

Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (15:01): My question again is to the Minister for Disabilities. Will the residents—

The Hon. A. Koutsantonis: I have held two press conferences in two days and you haven't asked me a question.

The SPEAKER: The transport minister is warned for the second and final time. If he is not careful he will be ejected for the rest of question time.

Ms CHAPMAN: Will South Australian residents affected by dust diseases such as mesothelioma be covered by the NDIS, NIIS or the state insurances? Given the Attorney-General's previous answer that there were still discussions in relation to the NIIS, if there is no resolution of this matter, what is the government's position as to who should be paying it?

The Hon. J.R. RAU (Enfield—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General, Minister for Planning, Minister for Industrial Relations, Minister for Business Services and Consumers) (15:02): In answer to that question, I think it has already been made clear that, because the deputy leader is asking a question that includes an element which is an unknown—

Ms Chapman: I am asking what you have asked for.

The Hon. J.R. RAU: I do not want to labour the point, but Donald Rumsfeld once said, 'There's the known knowns, the known unknowns and the unknown unknowns,' and the honourable member keeps inserting an unknown unknown into the known knowns and the known unknowns, which makes it impossible for anyone to know the answer.

There being a disturbance in the gallery:

The SPEAKER: The minister.

The Hon. L.W.K. BIGNELL: A point of order: we have someone up in that gallery using flash photography.

The SPEAKER: Yes, would the security please obtain that camera and bring it to me.

The Hon. I.F. EVANS: Point of order: if that is the Speaker's intention, can you also ask security to secure the camera of the gentleman up here who was taking photos from that gallery for all of question time?

The SPEAKER: That does not violate my ruling against flash photography. The deputy leader.

Ms CHAPMAN: Point of order, Mr Speaker: I know that you are very, very wise and clever, but even you would not have been able to see the person positioned in The Advertiser box or whether it was flashing, and I would ask that you at least make an inquiry—

The SPEAKER: When it is brought to me I will see whether it is flash photography or not.

Ms CHAPMAN: Thank you. My question is to the Minister for Disabilities.

Members interjecting:

Ms CHAPMAN: I have the call.

The SPEAKER: I gave you the call but you utilised the call as a point of order rather than a question. The motion now is that the house note grievances. I call the member for Unley.
