The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens) (14:44): My question is to the Premier. Given his previous answer, can he explain to the house how he collects the database of email addresses for the purposes of sending constituents email addresses from stevenmarshall.com.au?

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The member for West Torrens—

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS: The Premier has asked me to repeat the question.

The SPEAKER: The member for West Torrens will repeat the question.

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS: My question is to the Premier. Given the Premier's previous answer, can he explain to the house how he collects a database of email addresses for the purposes of sending out emails as Premier using stevenmarshall.com.au?

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier) (14:45): I will make inquiries as to exactly how that database has been collected. I have been the Premier of South Australia for three years and I was before that, of course, the Leader of the Opposition for five years. There are a number of people who are on various databases. Some of them are to do with the media. I have outlined previously that we have used that NationBuilder platform.

I don't have detailed information of exactly and precisely how every person who comes to be on the database has been collected. I would think it would be fairly similar to the way that things operated under the previous government—actually, I'm not sure that would be the case. In fact, I think the line of questioning today—

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL: —really illustrates exactly and precisely how their minds work. I think there probably should be a thorough investigation of what exactly went on under that previous government. We know that there were a few scandals with regard to issues like One Community. That was a very interesting finding by the acting Auditor-General going back a few years. As I said, I don't have a full answer for that at the moment, but I'm happy to follow it up.
