Question Time

Members, Accommodation Allowances

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens) (14:05): My question is to the Premier. Does the Premier stand by his public statements regarding claims for the country members' allowance by the Hon. Terry Stephens MLC? With your leave, sir, and that of the house, I will explain.

Leave granted.

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS: On 21 July 2020, regarding the conduct of his MPs the Premier publicly stated, and I quote, in relation to the country members' allowance, 'I am not of the opinion there has been any deliberate dishonesty.'

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier) (14:06): Yes, sir, I stand by all my public comments.
