Keolis Downer

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens) (15:37): My question is to the Minister for Infrastructure and Transport. Has his department ever encouraged Keolis Downer to remain in the tender process for the training contract?

The Hon. C.L. WINGARD (Gibson—Minister for Infrastructure and Transport, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing) (15:38): I don't have that information; I'm happy to take it on notice. But I will turn back again to the point, Mr Speaker, in this conversation around outsourced contracts and draw your attention again, draw the house's attention again, to the two-faced approach from the Labor Party. When they are in government they turn around and they sign outsourced contracts. Now—

The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN: Point of order.

The SPEAKER: The minister will resume his seat. The member for Lee on a point of order.

The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN: Only moments ago, in the previous question, you were in receipt of a point of order for debate under standing order 98, and now we see the minister behaving again contrary to your ruling.

The SPEAKER: I note the point of order. I also note the use of the expression 'two-faced'. No-one has taken exception to that particularly. I would ask the minister to consider his language, but otherwise I note the point of order. I will give the minister an opportunity to conclude his response. I think the minister is finished. The member for West Torrens.
