Families SA Internal Audit

Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:30): Supplementary, sir: the minister, in her answer, suggested that I was verballing her because I had sort of indicated that she sees no—

The Hon. A. Koutsantonis interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The Treasurer is called to order.

Mr MARSHALL: —need to conduct a further desktop inquiry, an expanded inquiry, from the residential to the non-residential employees, if you like, of Families SA. Perhaps the minister can clarify her position: does she think that the desktop inquiry should be extended to all employees of Families SA or whether it should be confined to just those working in residential care?

The Hon. J.M. RANKINE (Wright—Minister for Education and Child Development) (14:31): Nothing has come to my attention that would warrant such an extensive piece of work. If it does come to my attention—

Mr Marshall interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The leader, if he moves his lips out of order, will be departing.

The Hon. J.M. RANKINE: We have a royal commission underway that is looking at all aspects of Families SA. On occasion, you have a parliamentarian do the wrong thing; in fact, we have seen it in this chamber. I don't want to have aspersions cast on me by the behaviour and conduct of other people in this chamber, and nor should all of our Families SA staff.
