          <by role="member" id="633">The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens) (15:15):</by>  Thank you, sir. My question is to you. Given your contribution on privilege yesterday, has the Premier breached the privileges of parliament by threatening to expel John Dawkins from the Liberal Party for exercising his democratic right to run for the presidency of the Legislative Council?</text>

To that extent, I have nothing further to add to that statement and insofar as the statement I made to the house at the commencement of question time, I have already indicated I will come back to the house when I have anything further to add to that statement. The member for King.</text>
