SANDERSON: But, Mr Speaker, to bring you back to the amazing story from 11 years ago and the context, I remember when I had my first interview on the ABC with Matt and David. I remember firstly having constituents of mine, who I had met through doorknocking—one of them I recall in particular because I had met her many times—had heard the promo that I was going on Matt and David. She was in Housing Trust. I met her and had a great conversation. She was from the stolen generation as well, and I have had many conversations with her since. When she heard I was going on, she rang and said, 'I don't want you going on there. They're very nasty men, and they will be mean to you,' and, 'You're our member and we don't want that.' I said, 'I will be fine. It's going to be okay.' Members interjecting: The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: Order! The Hon. R. SANDERSON House of Assembly The Hon. R. SANDERSON: My constituents are very protective of me, so I have had lots of support this week— Members interjecting: The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: Order, the member for Wright! The Hon. R. SANDERSON House of Assembly The Hon. R. SANDERSON: —and I have greatly appreciated that. However, David Bevan had written a story in the Messenger about an alternative universe where I was the premier. It was quite a fun story and he was asking in reference to that, so— Members interjecting: The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: Order, the member for Playford! The Hon. R. SANDERSON House of Assembly The Hon. R. SANDERSON: —it wasn't as if I raised the idea. He wrote about a world where I was the premier and everybody dressed really well and everyone was coordinated— Members interjecting: The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: Order! The Hon. R. SANDERSON House of Assembly The Hon. R. SANDERSON: —and that was the context in which the statement was made. Members interjecting: The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: Order!

The Minister for Innovation and Skills is called to order. The Deputy Premier is called to order. The member for Ramsay is warned. The member for West Torrens is warned for a second time.
