CHILD PROTECTION INQUIRY

Mr PISONI (Unley) (15:00): A further supplementary: could the minister please inform the house as to whether Kate Baldock gave evidence under oath—

The SPEAKER: Would the member for Unley be seated. It is contrary to standing orders to ask questions, the answers to which are contained in a bleeding obvious way in a publicly accessible document.

Members interjecting:

The Hon. I.F. EVANS: Mr Speaker, just so the opposition is clear what you are instructing us to do in future, does that mean, for instance, if someone asks about an announcement that has been made, it would be out of order for the government to come in and spend two Dorothy Dixers—

The SPEAKER: Yes.

The Hon. I.F. EVANS: —speaking about a press release they put out this morning?

The SPEAKER: Well strictly it could be, yes.

The Hon. I.F. EVANS: It must have been missed, that standing order, then.

The SPEAKER: Does the member for Unley have another question?

Mr PISONI: No.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: I warn the member for Torrens for dissent.

Mrs Geraghty: I didn't say anything!

The SPEAKER: The member for Little Para.
