Member for Waite

The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN (Lee) (15:04): My question is to the Premier. Will the Premier now direct the member for Waite to resign all his committee roles, as the member pledged to do in early January?

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier) (15:04): Well, no, I don't think there is any suggestion of that. We've got a process which is underway.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order, member for Elizabeth!

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL: I think I addressed this in an answer only about two minutes ago, so it's difficult for people to—

Dr Close interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The deputy leader is on two warnings.

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL: I think I addressed this in an answer to the house only a few minutes ago. The member for Waite has resigned as the Presiding Member of the Economic and Finance Committee.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! The member for Kaurna is on two warnings.

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL: Certainly, the opposition hasn't presented the facts of any transcript here. If I did incorrectly state that there was a resignation from all committees, then I correct that now. The reality is that my understanding is that there has been a resignation as the Presiding Member of that. I think there has also been a resignation from the Aboriginal Lands Parliamentary Standing Committee.
