Keolis Downer

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens) (14:40): My question is to the Minister for Transport and Infrastructure. Have any representatives of Keolis Downer attended any Liberal Party fundraisers that the minister has been present at?

The Hon. S.K. KNOLL (Schubert—Minister for Transport, Infrastructure and Local Government, Minister for Planning) (14:41): I think, Mr Speaker, questions of that nature are ones that should be referred to the Liberal Party secretariat.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! We have the question. I would like to hear the answer.

The Hon. S.K. KNOLL: I understand what the insinuation is that those opposite are trying to make.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS: Point of order: personal reflections on members and imputing improper motive.

The SPEAKER: I have the point of order.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Members on my right are interjecting and not assisting. For the insinuation, the minister didn't necessarily identify any member of the opposition; however, I can understand why members may have found that inflammatory. Also, I can understand why the minister may be a little bit provoked. However, I ask the minister to stick to the substance of the question. Let's get on with it so that I can give more questions in question time. Thank you.

The Hon. S.K. KNOLL: I am finished.

The SPEAKER: The minister has completed his answer.

The Hon. A. Koutsantonis: Can he repeat it because I couldn't hear it?

The SPEAKER: Would the minister like to repeat his answer? I will take one more from my left and then we move to the member for Davenport. Does the minister have anything further? Can you repeat the last part?

The Hon. S.K. KNOLL: The member can avail himself of Hansard at any time he chooses.

The SPEAKER: We have the answer. The member for West Torrens and then the member for Davenport.
