Member for Waite

Mr MALINAUSKAS (Croydon—Leader of the Opposition) (14:38): My question is to the Premier. Can the Premier rule out the new information being criminal in nature?

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier) (14:38): I will just refer to my previous answer. I am not going to make further comment regarding it. I made it very clear when I became aware of the behaviour that occurred on Friday 13 December here at Parliament House that it was completely and utterly unacceptable. On Friday, I learnt new information in the early afternoon on top of the fact that it was then clear that there was a police investigation. This led me to the conclusion that Mr Duluk's continuation in the Liberal party room was untenable and I conveyed that to him. He accepted that position.

An honourable member interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL: He is no longer a member of the Liberal party room. He is no longer a member of the Liberal Party.
