          <by role="member" id="4841">Mr PICTON (Kaurna) (15:34):</by>  Sir, I raise a matter of privilege. Today, in question time the member for Badcoe asked the Minister for Child Protection, quote:</text>
        <text id="20180802418dbe417149448ba0000916">
          <inserted>Has the minister's office played any role in formulating and distributing the statement issued by her chief executive a short time ago?</inserted>
        </text>
        <text continued="true" id="20180802418dbe417149448ba0000917">The minister replied to the house, 'No'. I am advised that the Minister for Child Protection has misled the House of Assembly. I am advised that her staff were seen distributing the chief executive's statement at the minister's press conference shortly before question time. I ask that you give consideration to a matter of privilege and rule if a motion to establish a privileges committee should be given precedence over other business in the House of Assembly.</text>

What I will do is ask the member to please provide me with any relevant material and I will come back to the house on whether I consider the matter to be, prima facie, a matter of privilege. Thank you.</text>
