Members, Accommodation Allowances

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens) (14:36): My question is to the Premier. On that happy occasion, when the Premier stayed at Terry Stephens' property in Victor Harbor, were there family photographs, personal effects, of the Stephens family at the property, or was it set up as a holiday rental, including rental rules on a magnet on the fridge—

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS: —and miniature toiletries—

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS: —in the bathrooms—

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order, members on my right!

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS: —and little biscuits on the bed?

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier) (14:37): I am happy to answer this question. It is an interesting question. I can confirm there were family photographs. There were no photographs of the member for West Torrens; I can confirm that. I was scouring every part, every part of the apartment, the house, the beautiful home that they have, that Mr and Mrs Stephens have built in their area. Of course it is their home. My understanding is that the member might be getting confused with another property owned by that member, which was available for rent, but certainly the place that I stayed in was their home. It had all their personal effects. It had no hotel-type soaps, as he refers to.
