The Hon. J.J. SNELLING House of Assembly The Hon. J.J. SNELLING: Once again, a point of order. This is essentially asking the minister for a legal opinion. The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: The other thing is that I understand it is a federal act, so the South Australian police minister would hardly be responsible to the house for the enforcement of federal legislation. Does the deputy leader have a question for which the minister might be responsible to the house? Ms CHAPMAN House of Assembly Ms CHAPMAN: I am happy to ask the question of the Attorney-General. The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: That would really improve it.
