COVID-19 Emergency Response (Bail) Amendment Bill
Mr PICTON (Kaurna) (14:45): My question is to you, Mr Speaker. Why did it take six days for you to sign to the Governor the COVID-19 Emergency Response (Bail) Amendment Bill 2020, which was described as an urgent bill by the government and on request of the state controller?
The SPEAKER (14:46): I believe I was advised that the bill was ready to be signed on the Tuesday and I presented the bill as part of my regular appointment with the Governor on the Wednesday morning. I will go back and check those exact dates, but that's why it was signed when it was and presented when it was.
