Public Sector Allowances

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens) (14:38): My question is to the Premier.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! The Premier is called to order. The Leader of the Opposition is lucky not to have left by now. Leader, be quiet. It is not Adelaide University Old Scholars' here, leader. You will not shout in the chamber. I am trying to give the member for West Torrens the call.

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS: Thank you, sir. My question is to the Premier. Has the Premier fulfilled all his obligations under the ICAC Act and reported public officers who have inappropriately claimed allowances they are not entitled to to the appropriate authority, the OPI?

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier) (14:39): I have fulfilled all obligations that I have. I have made it very clear that we have obligations to look after the taxpayers' dollar, and that is a requirement on every single member in this parliament. It's not an obligation only of the government; it's an obligation of every single member of this parliament whether they are a member of the House of Assembly or whether they are a member of the Legislative Council. I think all members are aware of this obligation and should abide by it.
