Mr PICTON (Kaurna) (15:07): My question is to the Premier. Why has this government treated accused murderer Henry Keogh with more respect than South Australian of the Year, Professor David David?

Members interjecting:

The Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER: Point of order.

The SPEAKER: Point of order. Members on my right, be quiet while I hear the point of order. The point of order, I'm anticipating, is about an expression of opinion, which Erskine May's Parliamentary Practice, 24^th edition, tells us is out of order in a question.

The Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER: I was just going to stick to the standing orders. That question had absolutely no relevance to what is allowed in the standing orders.

The SPEAKER: Yes, I will move on to the next question. If the member for Kaurna would like to rephrase it without the offending—

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: I haven't finished. If he would like to rephrase it in a manner that does not offend the standing orders, I will allow it on this occasion. If he does that again, I will be moving to the government's side.

Mr PICTON: My question is to the Premier. Does the Premier believe it would be respectful to provide the opportunity to meet with Professor David David, the South Australian of the Year?

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier) (15:08): As was provided to the house I think yesterday and the day before, the Minister for Health and Wellbeing has met with Professor David. I have spoken with Professor David. In fact, not only has the Minister for Health and Wellbeing met with Professor David but he has followed up that meeting with a further conversation.
