          <by role="member" id="633">The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens) (14:38):</by>  My question is to the Premier in his capacity representing the Treasurer in the house. Has Ms Tui Comas ever been employed on a casual or full-time basis in the Dunstan or Morialta electorate offices?</text>

          <by role="member" id="4342">The Hon. D.C. VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN:</by>  Point of order: that is exactly the same question with the slight adjustment at the start with regard to 'the Premier' versus 'the Premier representing the Treasurer'. The reality is that the substance of the question is absolutely identical, and the suggestion that the Treasurer, let alone somebody representing the Treasurer, would know of any person employed in any electorate office is completely out of order.</text>

          <by role="office">The SPEAKER:</by>  The point of order is with respect to standing order 96. With respect to the minister, the minor difference in the question might make all the difference relevantly. To the extent that it's a question to the Treasurer that may be addressed by the Premier in his capacity representing the Treasurer in this place, I will allow the question. I wouldn't be surprised if the answer is somewhat constrained, but I will give the Premier the opportunity to respond.</text>

          <by role="member" id="4338">The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier) (14:39):</by>  I am very happy to ask the Treasurer if he has any information with regard to that. Of course, I think it relates to a period when the Treasurer wasn't responsible for electorate offices. In fact, it was the member for West Torrens, who asks the question, so he should probably know. I suspect he does. But I am happy to ask the Treasurer and come back to the house with an answer.</text>
