A. KOUTSANTONIS House of Assembly West Torrens Members, Accommodation Allowances The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens) (14:43): My question is to the Minister for Transport and Infrastructure. How much board does the minister pay his parents when he stays there? The Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER House of Assembly The Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER: Point of order, sir: standing order 96. As Speaker Such has ruled, public affairs, for which ministers are responsible to the house, are not the same as public interest. The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: Yes. The minister is not responsible to the house for how much board he pays his parents. The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS House of Assembly The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS: Point of order, sir, on the point of order: income and contracts are to be declared on the Register of Members' Interests— The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: So would you like to rephrase the question? The Hon. D.C. van Holst Pellekaan House of Assembly The Hon. D.C. van Holst Pellekaan: This is an expense. The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS House of Assembly The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS: It is an expense. The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: Would you like to rephrase the question, member for West Torrens? The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS House of Assembly The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS: My question is to the Minister for Transport and Infrastructure: does he have a contractual arrangement with his parents? The Hon. V.A. CHAPMAN House of Assembly The Hon. V.A. CHAPMAN: Point of order, Mr Speaker: again, it's a problem. If the member has a question about the register of interests, fine, but that is clearly nothing to do with the register of interests. The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: Yes. If the member for West Torrens can relate that question to the register of interests, then perhaps the question has a flavour of merit to it. I am going to give you one last go. If we can't get it right, we are going to move on. The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS House of Assembly The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS: Thank you very much for your indulgence, sir. My question is to the Minister for Transport and Infrastructure. Has the minister made all declarations of all contracts he has in place for board on his declaration of member's interests? The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: I am going to allow that question. The Hon. S.K. KNOLL House of Assembly Schubert Minister for Transport Minister for Planning The Hon. S.K. KNOLL (Schubert—Minister for Transport, Infrastructure and Local Government, Minister for Planning) (14:45): My register of interests is up to date and I make the declarations that I need to on that register of interests. Members interjecting: The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: Order! Do not insult the former Speaker. The member for West Torrens has the call.
