House of Assembly Fifty-Fourth Parliament, First Session (54-1) 54 1 Parliament of South Australia House of Assembly published Question Time Attorney-General Attorney-General The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS House of Assembly West Torrens Attorney-General The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens) (14:20): My question is to the Attorney-General. Given former Federal Court judge the Hon. Ray Finkelstein QC has given now two separate pieces of legal opinion—one that the ICAC commissioner cannot retrospectively authorise a disclosure of information, and that the Attorney-General has contravened section 56A of the ICAC Act—on what basis and on what legal opinion is the Attorney-General relying on to stay Attorney-General? The Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER House of Assembly The Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER: Point of order, sir. The Hon. L.W.K. Bignell House of Assembly The Hon. L.W.K. Bignell: Vickie knows best. The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: The member for Mawson is called to order. There is a point of order. The Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER House of Assembly The Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER: The question offends against just about every part of standing order 97. The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: In that? The Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER House of Assembly The Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER: Facts without the leave of the house; opinion that's inappropriate. The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: What the Minister for Education is saying is that facts were introduced and you've taken that to be argument. Member for West Torrens, I will allow the member either to seek leave to introduce facts on this occasion or amend that question slightly on one occasion. The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS House of Assembly The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS: Yes, sir. I'll rephrase the question to not offend the sensitivities of the government. The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: The standing orders—yes, 97, I uphold that.
