Adelaide Remand Centre

Mr ODENWALDER (Elizabeth) (14:41): My question is to the Minister for Correctional Services. Why won't the minister answer any questions about staffing at the Adelaide Remand Centre since it has been privatised?

The Hon. D.C. VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN: Point of order, sir.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The leader is warned for a second time.

The Hon. D.C. VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN: Point of order, sir: that question, from just about the second word, violated standing order 97. It contained argument all the way through.

The SPEAKER: I uphold the point of order. Does the member for Elizabeth seek the call?

Mr ODENWALDER: Yes, absolutely.

The SPEAKER: I will give the member for Elizabeth an opportunity to ask another question or to rephrase in a way that is in compliance with the standing orders.
