Member for Waite

Dr CLOSE (Port Adelaide—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (15:08): My question is to the Premier. Will the Premier ask the Speaker to provide the investigation access to all documents and access to all members of staff, including Parliament House staff?

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier) (15:08): As the member would be more than aware, there is a parliamentary inquiry, which is already underway. Certainly, the former Speaker didn't make any requests of me as the Premier—and it's a parliamentary inquiry; it's not a government inquiry. But if the Speaker does (1) choose to resume the inquiry and (2) require any further information, I'm sure that he will make me aware of that, and I would be very happy to support that. He may make further requests from the entire parliament.
