The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens) (14:57): My question is to the Premier. Can the Premier assure the house that either he or someone in his office sought the permission or authorisation of the Chief Executive of the Department of the Premier and Cabinet before allowing any public officer, including Ms Tucker, to use their government email address to be used as a registered contact name and email address for the Liberal Party site built by NationBuilder?

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier) (14:58): I refer the member to my previous answer, but I think that what we need to do here is to recognise that these questions are coming from a party that understands all about the abuse of public money. They basically used the Public Service in South Australia as a repository for their mates—

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL: —and their failed Labor candidates. Take a look at Rik Morris, the failed Labor candidate for Florey at the last election. He just pops up in a few different places. Now he's actually working for the Leader of the Opposition, and so is Lucy Hood, the candidate for the seat of Adelaide. She is actually paid for by the people of South Australia.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL: Let's hope she's not campaigning. What about Rhiannon Pearce? I know that the current member for Badcoe was employed in a ministerial office while she was campaigning—

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The Premier will resume his seat.

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL: These people—

The SPEAKER: The Premier will resume his seat. The member for West Torrens on a point of order.

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL: —they've got no moral judgement whatsoever.

The Hon. D.G. Pisoni interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! The Minister for Innovation and Skills is called to order. Interjections will cease. The member for West Torrens raises a point of order in accord with standing order 98(a) I uphold the point of order and direct the Premier to the question. The Premier has the call.

The Hon. S.S. Marshall: I have finished my answer.

The SPEAKER: The Premier has finished his answer. The member for West Torrens seeks the call.
