Member for Waite

Mr MALINAUSKAS (Croydon—Leader of the Opposition) (14:32): My question is to the Premier. Is the Premier satisfied that he had available to him all the facts that he could reasonably have access to before he made a judgement that asking for an apology was a sufficient punishment to the member for Waite for the allegations regarding 13 December?

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier) (14:33): The answer to the first part is, yes, I think I was in receipt of all the information relevant to me to speak with the member for Waite and ask him to issue an immediate apology. That's exactly and precisely what I did.
