          <by role="member" id="4622">Dr CLOSE (Port Adelaide—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:16):</by>  My question is to the Premier. Does the Premier stand by his public statement that the Attorney-General immediately rang him following her conversation with the Hon. Connie Bonaros MLC about the events on Friday 13 December?</text>

          <by role="member" id="4338">The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier) (14:16):</by>  My understanding is that the Hon. Connie Bonaros called the Deputy Premier late last year, in the week following the incident which occurred here on Friday 13 December. In that conversation, she conveyed to the Deputy Premier that there was an incident. It was an unacceptable incident. It wasn't a matter that she was, at that stage, looking to take further.</text>
        <text id="20200218dde41db201d1455f90000306">She said there may be other people who were present who would have been offended by the behaviour. The Deputy Premier conveyed to Ms Bonaros that if there was anything that we could do to assist, or if she did want to take it further, or if other people wanted to take it further, she would be available for that. The Deputy Premier then contacted me very soon thereafter.</text>
