House of Assembly Fifty-Fourth Parliament, Second Session (54-2) 54 2 Parliament of South Australia House of Assembly published Question Time Illuminate Adelaide Illuminate Adelaide Mr MALINAUSKAS House of Assembly Croydon Leader of the Opposition Illuminate Adelaide Mr MALINAUSKAS (Croydon—Leader of the Opposition) (14:12): My question is to the Minister for Tourism. Regarding the Adelaide Illuminate event, is that entirely ticketed and indoors and seated, and can the Premier please commit to bring back to the house the forecast number of overnight accommodation stays that event will generate? The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL House of Assembly Dunstan Premier Illuminate Adelaide The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier) (14:13): As I just outlined in my previous answers, lots of things which were envisaged have got to morph and change, so what was envisaged with Adelaide Illuminate will have to have a changed program because we won't be able to have the mass gatherings that might be envisaged down the track for this type of event. But what we will be able to have is a fantastic program which will be announced soon. What we know, for example, is that the Art Gallery is now enjoying very significant visitation— Mr Malinauskas House of Assembly Mr Malinauskas: Is that seated? The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL House of Assembly The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL: —because we can conform with a new COVID-safe environment. The Leader of the Opposition asks whether it is a seated, ticketed event at the Art Gallery. It shows his complete and utter ignorance of exactly and precisely what is going on in South Australia. Members interjecting: The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: Order! Mr Malinauskas interjecting: The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: Order, the leader! The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL House of Assembly The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL: This sort of constant chip, chip, chipping away. He's like a yapping dog chasing after a car. When the car stops he's got nothing to say, nothing to do. He still hasn't announced a single— Members interjecting: The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: Order! The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL House of Assembly The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL: —solitary policy— Dr Close interjecting: The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: Order, the deputy leader! The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL House of Assembly The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL: —and we're just 16 months away from the next election. The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: Premier, resume your seat. The member for Lee, on a point of order. Members interjecting: The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: Order! The leader is called to order. Members interjecting: The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: Members on my right! The member for Lee on a point of order. The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN House of Assembly The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN: Thank you, Mr Speaker. It is unparliamentary for the Premier to refer to another member as an animal. The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: I have the point of order. An expression has been used. I understood that to be directed possibly towards the leader. If the leader takes exception to it— The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN House of Assembly The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN: Sorry, sir, it wasn't about causing offence— The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: On the point of order, the member for Lee. The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN House of Assembly The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN: —it was about unparliamentary language. There is a long precedent about that, including when the member for Norwood was accused of being a cockroach scurrying into the corner previously. The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: On the point of order, the Minister for Energy and Mining. The Hon. D.C. VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN House of Assembly The Hon. D.C. VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN: There is no point of order that prevents anybody from talking about animals. The point of order— Members interjecting: The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: Order! The Hon. D.C. VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN House of Assembly The Hon. D.C. VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN: —might apply if a particular member takes offence at being described that way, in which case that member can stand up and express that offence. The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: With regard to the member for Lee's point of order in relation to whether the language used by the Premier is parliamentary or not, I propose to take that matter on notice. If there are individual members who take offence at words used to describe individual members, then I will hear a point of order in that regard, should that become relevant. That's not for a moment to indicate that there isn't any substance in the member for Lee's point of order. I will, just in the interests of consistency, take that matter on notice. If members are offended—I wish to emphasise—by words used and directed at them, then they are free to raise points of order accordingly. The member for Flinders. Members interjecting: The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: The member for Flinders has the call. Members interjecting: The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: I think the Premier had finished his answer. The member for Flinders has the call.
