Member for Waite

Mr MALINAUSKAS (Croydon—Leader of the Opposition) (14:13): My question is to the Premier. As the Premier of South Australia and leader of the parliamentary Liberal Party, will the Premier express his view on the member for Waite again being preselected as a Liberal Party candidate for the next state election in the seat of Waite?

Dr Close interjecting:

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier) (14:13): I have made it very clear that the member for Waite's behaviour was completely and utterly unacceptable. He has apologised for this, but that doesn't take away the fact that this behaviour was unacceptable. It has also been found so by the court, although he didn't commit a criminal activity. What we do know is that that behaviour was completely and utterly unacceptable, and I stand by all my public comments in relation to this matter.

The SPEAKER: Before I call the leader, I call to order the deputy leader.
