Zou, Ms S.

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens) (14:23): My question is to the Minister for Trade and Investment. Did the minister check prior to meeting with Sally Zou whether Pyne and Partners, a registered lobbyist, had listed Sally Zou's company as a client before the minister met with her?

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. S.J.R. PATTERSON (Morphett—Minister for Trade and Investment) (14:24): I will ask you to repeat the question because I missed a bit of it.

The SPEAKER: It might just serve as a reminder of the importance not only for me in the chair but for all members. The member for West Torrens has the call. He is entitled to be heard in silence. Member for West Torrens, you might repeat the question.

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS: My question is to the Minister for Trade and Investment. Did the minister check with Pyne and Partners, a registered lobbyist, if they had listed Sally Zou's company as a client before the minister met with her?

The Hon. V.A. CHAPMAN: Just in case—

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! The Deputy Premier might resume her seat.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! The member for Chaffey will cease interjecting. I will just indicate that a chorus of interjection is disorderly. There will be no chorus of interjections on my right or on my left. The Deputy Premier has the call.

The Hon. V.A. CHAPMAN: The member may not be aware but the Lobbyists Act now covers the provisions and obligations in relation to both the registration and other matters that are required in relation to the lobbyist. That is a matter of the lobbyist's obligation, not the parties they represent.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! Before I call the member for West Torrens, I call to order the member for Schubert.
