House of Assembly Fifty-Fourth Parliament, Second Session (54-2) 54 2 Parliament of South Australia House of Assembly published Matter of Privilege Matter of Privilege Matter of Privilege Matter of Privilege The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS House of Assembly West Torrens The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens) (15:22): Sir, I raise a matter of privilege. In an answer to a question from the member for Kavel in relation to the resurfacing of the South Eastern Freeway, the Minister for Infrastructure and Transport informed the house, and I quote: The last time any surfacing work was done there was 20-plus years ago, so we know that we are adding to safety on that road. There was an interjection, and the Minister for Infrastructure and Transport went on to say: As the Minister for Innovation and Skills points out, that was under a Liberal government. The state government's own website states that resurfacing works on the South Eastern Freeway occurred in 2016. We offer the Speaker, sir, a webpage publicly available relating to resurfacing works on the South Eastern Freeway in 2016. I believe that the minister has deliberately and intentionally misled the House of Assembly and that a prima facie case exists for the establishment of a Privileges Committee. I ask that you give consideration to the matter of privilege and rule that a motion to establish a Privileges Committee should be given precedence over other business in the House of Assembly. The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: The member for West Torrens has referred to— Members interjecting: The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: Members on my right! The member for West Torrens has referred to a number of materials. I will give consideration to those materials. In the event there is any other material of the member for West Torrens may provide to me, I will receive it, consider it and come back to the house with a ruling.
