          <by role="member" id="5084">Mr MALINAUSKAS (Croydon—Leader of the Opposition) (14:16):</by>  My question is to the Premier. Does the Premier accept that Mimecast, which he referenced in his media statement yesterday, is merely a security scan of the redirection before passing the user to the original destination through stateliberalleader.nationbuilder.com? With your leave, Mr Speaker, and that of the house, I will explain.</text>

          <by role="member" id="5084">Mr MALINAUSKAS:</by>  Yesterday, the Premier and NationBuilder issued public statements claiming that the ABC's story on members of the public being redirected from government websites to Liberal Party websites was incorrect and that the URLs are reference links generated by Mimecast. A statement from Mimecast today makes it clear that their service merely scans the destination in real time, ultimately taking the user to that website if it is deemed safe.</text>

MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier) (14:17):</by>  I stand by what I said yesterday, and that is we have not been—as suggested by the opposition spuriously and, I think, dangerously, quite frankly—redirecting people who come to South Australian websites to Liberal Party domains—</text>

I am very happy to restate it again today. I think NationBuilder came out yesterday—and I think by now the opposition might have got around to reading that document—and made it very clear that there has been no collection or retention of data, as suggested by those opposite.</text>
