Member for Waite

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens) (15:02): Sir, could you please expand on that answer and clarify—

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER (15:02): Members on my left and right! Member, be seated. I can refer to the statement that I made earlier today. I did provide the house with an update concerning the independent investigation into the alleged behaviour of the member for Waite from 13 December. I have been informed that the police have reported Mr Duluk for basic assault; therefore, I suspended the independent investigation and directed the investigator to halt the process of undertaking any further interviews or sending any witness copies of their statements.

I will revisit the question of reinstating the independent investigation pending the outcome of SAPOL's processes and any court processes on the matter of the member for Waite's alleged behaviour. I really have nothing to add to that, member for West Torrens.
