NationBuilder

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens) (15:12): My question is to the Premier. Does the Premier agree with the State Director of the Liberal Party that information is collected by redirection through stateliberalleader.nationbuilder.com? With your leave, sir, and that of the house, I will explain.

Leave granted.

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS: Yesterday, Ms Meldrum told the ABC, and I quote:

The purpose of the redirection is simply to provide hyperlinks or additional information (usually on government websites) in the media releases.

Information collected is consistent with the vast majority of EDM [electronic direct mail] platforms…

The Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER: Point of order, sir.

The SPEAKER: The Minister for Education rises on a point of order.

The Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER: Leave was sought to introduce facts and the member quoted some sources. Those sources, in my view, did not actually provide a basis—or a substratum of a basis even—

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

Mr Brown: Look at this man drown!

The SPEAKER: The member for Playford is warned for a second time. The Minister for Education has the call.

The Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER: —for the way in which the member characterised Ms Meldrum's comments in the original question; therefore, the original question is argumentative and not in accordance with standing order 97.

The SPEAKER: As I indicated at the outset, leave was certainly required in order to introduce relevant facts. It might just be me struggling to keep up, but I did listen carefully to those matters introduced by the member for West Torrens with leave. I am inclined to give the Premier an opportunity to answer the question, conscious of the scope of the matters introduced pursuant to leave. Does the Premier seek the call?

The Hon. S.S. Marshall: No.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order, members on my left, members on my right! The member for Schubert is warned.
