Parliamentary Vacancy

Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:11): My question is to the Premier. When the Premier nominated Peter Malinauskas as the person to replace Bernie Finnigan in the Labor team, was the Premier aware that Mr Malinauskas had donated $1.3 million of shop workers' money to the South Australian Labor Party?

Mr Pisoni interjecting:

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING: Point of order, sir.

The SPEAKER: Point of order.

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING: The Premier is not responsible to the house for the matters canvassed in the deputy leader's question.

Mr GARDNER: Sir, it is quite clearly a matter of public policy and the Premier is responsible.

The SPEAKER: The member for Unley is called to order for roaring after that question was asked. I am considering the point. Can the deputy leader ask another question and I will think about it.

Ms CHAPMAN: I am happy to do that and thank you for considering it.
