Members, Travel Allowances

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens) (15:10): My question is to the Minister for Transport and Infrastructure. Did the minister travel to Mount Gambier on 8 May 2019 on ministerial business and did the department meet the costs of that trip? With your leave, sir, and that of the house, I will explain.

Leave granted.

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS: Documents tabled by the Speaker show that, at the very same time the minister was in Mount Gambier, he certified to the parliament that he had claimed $230 for conducting parliamentary business in Adelaide.

The Hon. S.K. KNOLL (Schubert—Minister for Transport, Infrastructure and Local Government, Minister for Planning) (15:11): I do note the comments that I made in this house yesterday in relation to the three administrative errors that I have made in my claims. Those have been rectified and repaid at the earliest convenience. Any other matters raised in that question, the balance of which I am happy to make inquiries into.
