Mr MALINAUSKAS (Croydon—Leader of the Opposition) (14:29): Who was the police minister's most senior staff member on 16 April?

The Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER: Point of order, sir: that's not a supplementary question. That's just re-asking a question that has previously been asked.

The SPEAKER: Yes. In fairness—

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! The same question has been asked with a similar version in a very similar manner. So is there a further supplementary?

Mr KOUTSANTONIS: Point of order, sir: with all due respect to your ruling, the minister is being deliberately evasive. We asked a very simple question. He refuses to answer, and now we are simply asking: who was his most senior staff member on that day?

The SPEAKER: I have ruled, and I keep that ruling. Member for Heysen.
