The minister has the call. The Hon. R. SANDERSON House of Assembly Adelaide Minister for Child Protection The Hon. R. SANDERSON (Adelaide—Minister for Child Protection) (14:57): Thank you, Mr Speaker. The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: Does the leader rise on a point of order? The Hon. R.

Mr MALINAUSKAS House of Assembly Mr MALINAUSKAS: Mr Speaker, I would ask that the Deputy Premier withdraw her remark that it was a stupid question. This is an important issue. As the Premier— Members interjecting: The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: Order, members on my right! I will hear what I perceive to be a point of order. Members interjecting: The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: Order, members on my right! The leader has the call. Mr MALINAUSKAS House of Assembly Mr MALINAUSKAS: I would ask that the Deputy Premier withdraw that remark. The shadow minister is asking perfectly legitimate questions on an important subject, and when the Deputy Premier shouts out across the chamber that it's a stupid question I think that poorly reflects on the member and the sincerity with which the question is being asked. Members interjecting: The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: Order! I am inclined to interpret that as a point of order pursuant to standing orders 125 and 126. To the extent that the leader takes any reference to which he has referred as reference to the leader, then I might ask the Deputy Premier to withdraw, but I might just call on the member for Reynell in that regard. Did the member for Reynell hear any observation? Ms HILDYARD House of Assembly Ms HILDYARD: I did find the remark offensive, Mr Speaker. The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: In the circumstances, I ask the Deputy Premier to withdraw. The Hon. V.A. CHAPMAN House of Assembly The Hon. V.A. CHAPMAN: I'm happy to withdraw if the member is offended. I note the leader isn't. The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: Does the member for Reynell seek the call?
